The forum is getting back to being more fun and I like that. Ultimately, what we are here for is to discuss cars and in this place in particular at a higher level than anywhere else. That doesn't mean bickering at a higher level but more intelligent posts, discussion, and thought. Now, we have all stated stupid things at some point and I'm definitely holding myself responsible. It is my desire to foster intelligent debate, talk, and an environment that is conducive to the aforementioned. To make it clear, I'm not blaming anyone and accept responsibility for deviating from this at times myself. The past is gone all we can all do is move forward so I would like to do so in the most positive way possible. This forum is on cusp of major expansion and becoming a major player in not only the BMW forum scene but the worldwide automotive forum scene. You will all be pleasantly surprised soon enough as I'm working hard behind the scenes but I am not forgetting what has propelled this site to where it is and that honestly is the N54 section and content primarily. I want to thank the userbase here, thank the vendors, and I want to show my appreciation. I want to show that despite times where we bicker, argue, and say some mean things they are not meant to be taken seriously and nobody is holding a grudge. It's the internet but yes we can be more cordial too. This forum sometimes due to the leniency allows people to say some things that would not be said anywhere else and that is a major positive but can also be a negative as well. So, guys, tell what you would like to see. I'll talk to vendors and set it up. Let's do something special. I want to show in particular I care, am appreciative, and have no negative intentions. I enjoy doing this, I've been at it for three years, and it has hardly been a cakewalk but I think we can all do a hell of a lot better going forward myself included. Turbos? Intercoolers? What would be cool and fun? You tell me gentlemen.

My car has 24,000 miles. For those that run this oil, can you give me some feedback? I currently use BMW"s Castrol 5w30 and want to switch to a different oil. I'm in South Florida, and we are about to go through another hot summer so 90*+ ambient temps are to be expected for this interval. I also hardly drive the car, 3-4k miles a year roughly. Temps? Smoothness? Smoke/smell problems? Thanks guys.

Got my G5 ISO installed tonight and being as you lot are so helpful thought I would ask a couple of questions I have it installed and updated to the 23b hex I have not cut the diodes and if so why? What other settings do I need to adjust? I know I could have asked this on Terrys site but, I dont post much there and you lot rock :music-rockout:

I see a bunch of SoCal, tons of North East, and some Portland stuff...not a whole lot of activity up here in Seattle though. Anyone on here in the area? It'd be nice to get some local info together...I've been looking for reputable shops, dynos, and drag/auto x tracks in the area. I'm pretty new to the west coast in general so some local stuff would be pretty awesome. Anyone know of a test and tune track day? I think I read about a track in Bremerton? Which is across the sound and would be a pain to get to...ferry ride and all. Anyone? Where my Seattle-ites at? Or are there nothing but hipsters driving Saabs around here? :think:

Here at Active Autowerke we would like to share a build currently in the works. We know our fellow enthusiasts on the forums would appreciated the transformation of one of the most inspiring vehicle's to come out of the ///M Division Factories. We have teamed up with H&R, IND, Strasse Forged, Platinum Motorsports to create a truly individual M5. Now let the fun Begin :music-rockout: Base Dyno Run of a Stock F10 M5 And the Tear Down Mayhem Begins

Short vid but damn I love dig runs! :D Hopefully we see another vid with more action between these 2

BMW F30 335i | HRE FF01 in Gloss Silver | Simpson Photography | Florida | HRE FlowForm sets start at $2900

2007 335i Mods: jb4 g5 iso19, DCI, downpipes Fuel: 93 octane Outside Temp: 70F Map:2 Did 2 3rd gear pulls and logs today. I really don't know how to read logs and was wondering if everything looks good?

Just look at this lol:

The 4-Series overall is a nice design if more evolutionary than revolutionary. With the recent official reveal of the F32 4-Series coupe it follows that naturally the F33 Convertible model will follow. This rendering is well done and the car definitely looks good with the top dropped. The artist got the rear correct along with the wheels, exhaust, diffuser, basically everything. It would be nice to see the car from a front angle as well but overall well done. Expect the F33 to start production 4 months after the F32 according to the leaked production chart. Additionally, do not expect it to have any 'xi' all wheel drive variants at least not this year.

Hey guys. I'm working with Martin Motorsports and Fortune Auto to really nail down their new product line for the e8x/e9x chassis. They give you total options for spring rates, valving (street, strip, track, autoX), and ride height (stock-like, lowered, stanced). Just curious to see what all the community is interested in, so I can make sure that we have some representation in the development process. Additionally, Gary @ Martin Motorsports is willing to offer some discounts for those that get in early. Right now my big suggestions were: -Front travel needs to remain, even though most will drop their car substantially -Valving from 350-500f/700-850r spring rates -Rebound Adjustable with linear adjustment from 30% to 65% critically damped in low-speed rebound -Little crosstalk between rebound and compression adjustments -Use Ohlins DFV as example "shock dyno template" -Main uses will likely be street/track, stance, and drag applications Anything else?

How To Uninstall McAfee Antivirus - Featuring John McAfee himself

Welcome to a real enthusiast forum AngelikaL.

By removing fuse 22 in your Aston Martin V8 Vantage, you disable the butterfly valve in your exhaust. This makes the car's exhaust louder and to be honest, better sounding. On doing the smallest amount of googling, a thread from 2008 with a lot of information from users: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/aston-martin/141386-how-many-you-running-fuse-22-pulled.html Moogle: "Pulling the fuse can lead to seizing of the solenoids in the muffler - it also causes the car to run rich on the lower rpm spectrum which isnt that bad but isnt good either." ATL: "I had a talk with the dealership Aston Martin of Atlanta and they said instead of pulling the fuse, they put a little beebee (sp?) pellet into one of the tubes." Really? A BB bullet? Wheel B: "the dealer pulled the fuse while the car was on the lot they said they sell more since it sounds alot nicer ...i left it off since day one" Thoughts?

Noah BlockIT CarCoverCustom 3 Series Coupe w/mirrors pocket Http://images.craigslist.org/3Jc3q83Ha5La5r95J2d6d5f94d654fcba15ac.jpgt All-Weather custom cover used on 2010 328i coupe for 20 months. I recently sold the car and no longer in need of the cover. This cover fits perfectly snug and effective in keeping a clean car with Noah's specially design fabric actually stops water, yet it "breathes" to allow any trapped moisture, seam seepage or condensation to easily evaporate. Protective Outer Layers - A bi-component spunbond, using sheath-core technology. The inner core is polypropylene for strength, with a polyethylene wrap for softness. A silver-gray color was selected because of its heat-resistant properties. The fabric is also treated with UV inhibitors for extended outdoor use. Will fit all 3 series coupe & convertible from 2007 to 2012. The cover has no tears and will be shipped with original accessories

I think 2000hp in a Gallardo is quite insane. This video proves it :)
