Front tires out of balance after track day

Still can't figure out why are my newly mounted R-S3 are out of balance after one track day from last week. Brand new Apex wheels, so no bend or anything, and all the wheel weights are still there. But the steering wheel would shake quite noticeably at speed above 80mph. The tires were balanced before the track day...



The only reason I can come up with is that the tires rotated on the wheels from the hard braking that I have done on the track. But I would be amazed that a street car with stock brakes is capable of such feat...



You guys have any clue?

Coding in the UK

Hi there,



I'm fairly new here, I've just taken delivery of an F33 428i M Sport Convertible and I'm curious about the coding side of things.



All the other cars I drive have digital speed reading which is what prompted this and I am fairly IT competent however coding was never a speciality of mine.



Is there a company in the UK that can code things for me? Or is there anybody who is feeling generous enough to give me a hand? I have signed up on the coding forums however it has been nearly a week and they haven't approved my account to enable me to post yet!



I would really appreciate a bit of help as most of the equipment I can find is in America!



Thanks,



Zak

LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE














Introducing our new Charge Pipe for the 2012+ BMW 320i, 328i N20 Single Turbo Engine, 2013+ BMW 428i N20 Single Turbo Engine and 2014+ BMW 228i N20 Single Turbo Engine!







Polish Finish - Upper and Lower Charge Pipe Shown



Ease of Installation: (1 Easy, 5 Hard) 2



Key Features:



Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag.

Lightweight High Grade 6061 Aluminum Piping.

Replaces the factory soft plastic charge pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost.

Throttle body matched 2.75" piping.

Retains factory style o-ring throttle body lock flange. Precision CNC machined throttle body flange ensures leak free connection to throttle body. Quick and easy connection and disconnection to throttle body. Ideal connection compared to the silicone hose and hose clamp connection found in all other aftermarket charge pipe upgrade pipes available in the marketplace.

Precision CNC machined MAP sensor flange ensures leak free connection.

Charge Pipe features beaded ends and T-bolt clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost.

Silicone Hose included.

Includes two 1/8" NPT Bungs (comes pre-capped) - For methanol injection or as a boost source.

Compatible with the factory electronic diverter valve.

Includes all hardware for complete installation.

Limited Lifetime Warranty.









Polish Finish - Upper and Lower Charge Pipe Shown



Turn up the boost with a tune and find your $400 factory charge pipe break apart? Fear not! The solution is here! Replace it with a higher flowing, stronger aluminum charge pipe! Made 100% of 6061 high grade aluminum, this will never happen again (backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty)!



Often ignored, charged intake airflow characteristics greatly affect throttle response, turbo lag and ultimately maximum power potential. Smooth bends and minimal obstructions are ideal. We used 6061 aluminum (lightweight) mandrel bent piping to ensure smooth transitions. The upper pipe features 2.75" piping to match up to the factory throttle body (factory pipe is 2.5"), ensuring maximum flow without obstruction.



We were the first manufacturer to duplicate the factory throttle body flange with our N54 charge pipe. We bring the same thing to the N20 charge pipe. During our research and development, the connection at the throttle body was looked over very carefully. The factory charge pipe is connected to the throttle body using an o-ring inside the throttle body flange which is locked in place by a c-clip, which works very well. It also make removal/installation quick and easy. Our testing had shown it could hold quite a bit of boost. During our testing, we had pressure tested this connection up to 25 PSI. The reason why we stopped at 25 PSI was because at 25 PSI, one of the intake pipes on the turbo blew off and we could not test any higher. Hoewver, we were confident that it would easily hold over 25 PSI as the throttle body flange showed no signs of failing. Also, keep in mind, this type of connection is used throughout the engine, in many crutial areas like the coolant radiator system as well as the clutch system. If BMW did not believe in the durability of this type of connection, they would not use it in such important areas.



Many of our competitors use a silicone hose connection for the throttle body connection. It is not designed for a silicone hose connection which is used by all the other brand diverter valve pipe upgrades in the market. The throttle body lip is too short and there are no "beads" to prevent the silicone hose from blowing off under boost. Even though it is the easiest way to "rig" together, it is not ideal. The best way to connect the new diverter valve pipe to the throttle body is to replicate the same connection which we did. We spent a lot of resources developing and manufacturing this factory style connection for this reason.







Precision CNC Machined MAP Sensor Flange and Vacuum Fitting ensures boost leak free connection



The same issue came with the MAP sensor. The MAP sensor seals to the factory diverter valve pipe via a o-ring on the sensor itself. Having a hole in a silicone hose will definitely cause a boost leak as it will not properly seal. Therefore, again we CNC machined our own replica MAP sensor flange that utilizes the same factory o-ring seal.



The charge pipe kit for the F30 N20 engine features two charge pipes, the upper and lower charge pipes. Both charge pipes are included in the kit and are required for installation.



1/8" NPT Bungs (For Methanol or Nitrous Injectors):



With the popularity of methanol injection systems and nitrous systems, we have added the option of having a 1/8" NPT threaded bung (for methanol or nos injectors) welded to our diverter valve charge pipe. This allows quick and easy installation of methanol/nitrous injectors that are used in methanol injection systems and nitrous systems. Our charges pipes come with 2 meth bungs standard (you can custom order only 1 or none). Each 1/8" NPT bung will come with a plug so that you can run with or without the methanol injector. This is perfect for those who do not have the Methanol Injection yet but plan to do so in the future.



Also, the 1/8" NPT bung can be used as a boost source if you do not run methanol injection. Perfect place to connect your boost gauge or other devices to. The N55 engine does not have a pressurize hose or fitting from the factory that you can easily tap into. Now you do!



Note - For customers who have the Aquamist Methanol Injection Kit, Aquamist injectors use a 8mmx0.75 thread pitch instead of the 1/8" NPT standard that every other brand uses. If you have an Aquamist Methanol Kit, no worries! We have bungs made specifically for the Aquamist. Specify below if you need Aquamist bungs. Since this affects a very low amount of people, they will be custom made for you and not be regularly stocked. Also, we do not have plugs for these bungs. You will have to already have the Aquamist kit.







1/8" NPT Bungs (for methanol or nitrious injectors). Each bung comes with a plug (shown).

Video showing "clouds of smoke" from exhaust. Bad Valve Cover Gasket or Turbo Seal

Hey guys,



After installing my AR DPs I noticed the smoke coming from the exhaust like many other N54 owners. Although sometimes my smoking seemed excessive, the written descriptions from other members were right in-line with what I was experiencing: when coasting off throttle, in traffic, etc.



Although I never searched for a video with great effort, I never stumbled on one showing what it looks like. I happen to have one so I thought I would share.



Most of the stories I read linked the smoking to high-flowing DPs and when the oem units were reinstalled, the problems stopped. This makes sense as the cats would likely burn off a lot of engine vapor but it is extremely unlikely for it to be the root of the problem.



After further inspection I noticed a considerable amount of oil leaking from the charge side of my rear turbo which can be seen in the pics below, also with the photo of the *********, notice how the rear DP is much darker inside.



It looked like a bad turbo seal to my amateur eyes so last week I dropped my car off at BMW Fremont to milk the last few days of my CPO warranty (it ends today 7/30). So far the service adviser notified me that they have replaced the valve cover gasket, that was 2 days ago, so fingers crossed they smoking persists and I will get 2 new snails out of the visit; timing would be impeccable if it works out like this. I will update this when I get my car back.



Hope this helps someone!

Coming Soon: Shifteck GoPro Tow Hook Mounts

Our tow hook mounts are done with machining for the GoPro. They are currently off at the anodizer getting anodized black. They're a must-have for anyone that does track, auto-x, or just spirited drives through the mountains!!



We finished 2 SKU's so far.



1. E46, E8x, and E9x

2. F1x, F3x, and F8x



Again, these will be black when done with anodizing, but the machine work is all done. Very exciting!

Active Driving Assistant?

It'd be great if it included collision mitigation and blind spot detection.

Scrape problem ! HELP !

Hi everybody,

sorry for my English but I will try my best to do.

I have a BMW E90 (2008).



My wheel setup is:



Front: 9J ET 48 with 25mm spacer makes ET 23 -> 215/35R19

Back: 10J ET 45 with 25mm spacer makes ET 20 -> 235/35R19



Tires are stretch, and fender ar original (and wanne keep them original).



Now the problem is in the back, that the tire not scrape, but the wheels (little scratches)

Provisionally solution: So now i put a 30mm spacer so the weel comes a litte out of the car, and now scrape the tire.

They scrape not much, but if it scrape is it bether the tire than the weel.



What can i do? And i'm the only one with this problem? :confused2

Pictures can help me !!!

Here you see the wheels with 25mm spacer, so the wheel whil scrape (not much).







Thx for help...

New Wheels On The Z4M Roadster!

After a long time of glancing at these on the web I finally decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't take the all black look anymore so I needed to spruce it up a bit. Now that I've changed the wheels I feel like I brought the car back from the dead. I ended up going with 19" Hyper Silver CSL reps. I must say that I'm extremely pleased with the way these wheels make the car look exquisite again. The wheel specs are 19X8.5 +35 in the front and 19X9.5 +40 in the rear. Just thought I would share some pics, hear some of your opinions. Enjoy..



Heres a couple pics of the car before I changed the wheels:















Heres a few with the new wheels (night & day difference):



























Now all I need is some H&R Springs and I'll be good to go

I am asking $750. I am not willing to separate or ship at this time so please don't ask. I am located near the Temecula area.

I'm probably the last person to have figured this out but just in case ... the UK configurator is great for Individual orders (check-the-box) since you can individually select each and every option rather than having to only pick packages.



For 'vert buyers this is great because it means we can look at the car without the dumbass windscreen! Who uses those things anyway? They're like 3.2 beer.

What have you saved as your 8 shortcut favourites?

I was just debating with the wife as to how the 8 shortcut buttins should best be used.. suffice to say we disagreed and are happy that our own keys for each car allow us to have our own choices. So was just curious as to what others have chosen. Mine are:

1 HOME on the sat nav

2 WORK on the sat nav

3 SPLIT SCREEN ON/OFF (I like widescreen, but then like to see track info/directions/etc)

4 RADIO 4

5 RADIO 5 LIVE

6 CLASSIC FM

7 TRIP COMPUTER

8 JOURNEY COMPUTER



The Z4 is similar but I have 3 set to swap phones on the bluetooth connection, to swap work and personal phones easily. No need for that on the 335d as EBT connect both at same time.

Considering swapping one to add direct access to reading text messages but can't decide what to drop!

HELP--2006 330i 6 speed manual shift "CLUNK"-

Ive done a fair amount of reading here. This clunk is really ruining my otherwise great car for me. Getting to the point that I am dreading driving it. For "Clunk-less" driving,.....I have to engage the clutch very slowly and carefully



Ive done the following



Removed the Clutch delay valve

Installed the Burger Motor Sports Clutch pedal Stop

Jacked the car up and did a visual inspection. Everything looked OK.



The Flex disc / guibo did have a few hairline cracks in a few spots,....but it appears to still be very solid.



Also visually inspected the suspension mounting points to see if I could see any torn or collapsed rubber bushings that would allow the rear axle or tranny to shift, or load up then unwind,.......I didnt see anything that was obvious,..............BUT.....most of the bushings are hidden by metal parts,....so really couldnt tell much.

Front number plate

How is the front number plate on your F30/31 fixed on?



My dealer stuck mine on with 3M double-sided pads, which lasted from November until a hot day in June, when it fell off. Back to the dealer to get it reaffixed, this time with fewer pads. I got back from a trip abroad yesterday evening to find it had fallen off again in the airport car park.



Is there any reason why the front plate can't be screwed on?



Thanks.
