It's certainly a worry given how often the bolts seem to sheer. I've ordered a new 10.9 grade bolt, nut and washer that I'll use in the meantime but I've been actively trying to source 12.9 grade. I have no drivetrain upgrades at the moment.

are the bolts causing diffs to fail. my friend at BMW service said he's never seen a broken bolt but a bunch of broken rear diffs though.

A lot of people notice noises coming from the differential but it's even stated in the owners manual that they can cause noise when the drivetrain is loading or unloading force. Some dealers will replace it under warranty but most will not. It's hard to say if these cases are really failures or just people hearing the noise and thinking their diff has failed.

RW Carbon Front Lip
Newest addition to the M, RW Carbon front lip. It's pretty subtle but I like how it fits seamlessly with the front bumper. Each piece utilizes a couple of the factory mounting holes for the undertray which is really cool. You will still need to drill into the bumper in other areas to secure it. Good quality and the fitment was spot on. Very pleased!

Super excited to share my new set of track/winter wheels for the X3M!
Introducing, the LFI TRS01 Trackspec! It took roughly 7.5 weeks from the date of the order to delivery in Chicago, IL. LFI is a rather small company which offers many forged monoblock and 2 piece wheel designs. I came across them on a G8X thread where various members had been running them. After browsing I found the perfect wheel for my needs. TRS01 Forged Trackspec - Matte Black 20x9.5 et18 squared Coming in at a whopping 22lbs each! My plan is to run these with 275/40 Nitto RII's for the track and switch over to Michelin PA4 for the winter. I still have the Advan's but I'm going to put street tires on them to daily drive on. The Nittos are amazing for daily driving but they wear down quick. I take frequent trips around the country so I wanted another tire that will last longer. Enjoy!

While I ran this a few weeks ago, I forgot I had footage of it and figured it's worth documenting. This run is only .04s off of my fastest pass (done on Dragy) but it stands as my fastest pass in any car I've driven down a track.
I have a few tricks up my sleeve to surpass my PB and hopefully dig deeper into the 9.9s or even 9.8. More to come!

I haven't tried to run the OE tune or anything and I have it coded thru BM3 so I'm not too sure about the CEL.
