Project 'Modern E36' - My 2009 BMW 128i

[Jake]

Crossed the 50k mark a few weeks ago:



Nothing huge to report, really. I got a deal on an aftermarket (AFE) cold air intake from a guy on E90post so I picked that up and installed it for maximum vroom-woosh-drone noises:



There were some "flat spots" in the rev range after install where you'd feel the power drop off for a second. It finally threw a CEL on Saturday which I assumed was related. A quick disassembly and re-assembly of everything seems to have fixed it. I think I had something a bit loose and it was messing with the air:fuel ratio. The code was for running too rich.

Anyway, all is well. Needs a detail like whoa, the paint suuuucks up close. And I really ought to get the wheels refinished. But, in the meantime, it's good enough and really pretty from five feet away.
