Nice wheels. Focal speakers only? Did you replaced all of them?

Just the front only for front stage. Added 3 amps, an active sub and processor.

looks good !

I'll do the same soon, I have 2 sets of style 132.

Can't decide right now if I'm gonna go with a squared setup (all 10'' wheels), or staggered. Rear wheel are way more concave than front...




but just right after i figure those code out ( all of them are intermittent; probable cause : old gas, bad battery, missfire (coil packs) or jb+)

I pulled off my JB4 and port injection today. Installed the XDI-35 pump with a custom braided AN line with inline filter, then did the OFHG gaskets. Busy day.

Out of curiosity decided to see how my spark plugs are doing. Measured Plug #1 (N55) on primary coil.
Coil charge - all looks solid, very stable, ~2.75ms duration, 14.7→ 1.1V drop. Feels that coil is good. (pic#1)

Spark discharge: here we go... the only stable parameter - spark burn voltage, which is ~33V. The shape and duration of the burn is all over the place, from 1.1ms to 1.9ms in all shapes and forms.... Looks like time for new spark plugs (~60k miles)

Carbon Fiber side mirror... they actually weighed more than stock 😆

This weekend changed the Plugs.
All went well, 4 hours in zero rush. Had to remove windshield wipers, all plastic on the back, intake pipes, strut brace.... Most uncomfortable was removing plastic wire bridge at the firewall - I had to climb on the the engine compartment to reach to those small screws... Another one - puling coils on last 2 cylinders is hard because pulling straight up while been banded over is not fun....

Spark Plugs were in overall good shape, except that the metal on the tips and negative terminal have build up, but that explains why I had discharge pattern all over the place:...

So I had those style 132 that a friend gave me, yeah 0$.

They were pretty beat up, but no cracks and straight.
Massive curb rash, but fixed with some gold bondo.



wet sanded and primed



gun metal paint



clear



comparison



I need to wash the tire from over spray, but it need at leat 48h for full cure. The job is very impressive, can't tell is its a powdercoat or not. Not orange peel at all.
The only issue I had, is the metallic paint nozzle is shit, and I cant swap it with a better one, the tip is too big. No matter how Ive washed it or angle im using it, I had some spec in the paint. Those finally get levelled, but can be visible for a pro. @3ft distance, you wont see it.



products Ive used . This clear makes all the difference, its a 2 part clear with an activator. Probably the best can clear in the market.

cost :
- 2 can primer : 8$x2
- 2 can dark steel paint : 13$x2
- 2 can max clear coat : 20$x2
- time : about 12 beers. For real it was about +/- 12 hours.



Huge note. This clear is toxic.

I was at my garage door, with a intake fan at one end, and exhaust fan at the other end. Doors open. Floor was wet ( dust ). And I had a true respirator from homedepot.
I had a small morning beard, so the seal was not complete.
Now, my lungs are killing me, and Ive never removed the mask until I was out of the garage! this shit is serious. Shave, use the repirator all the time, and on drying time get away !

Hi, Where did you get Diffuser from? And "Need to tuck corners" Are there any fitment issues with this?
Thanks.

I got it at ebay. No big issue. I just want to bring
It closer to the edge. Doing it will need to round
The corners and screw it in place. Make sure you secure it with screws.

I replaced the Pirelli run flat tires with Pirelli P7 245/50 R 18 AS+ tires. These are the non-run flat version. The ride is noticeably more comfortable.

Installed Comfort Access in my 2014 X3. Feeling accomplished !
