Bought 11 quarts of M1 0w40 at Wallyworld today, was not able to find any on sale at AZ in the ridiculous clearance they've had over the past couple of days.

EDIT: Also sent back the AFE Stage II today, probably going to wait until after the holidays and see if the Stage I goes on sale.

I just picked up this afe stage 2 intake. It fits pretty snug against my drivers headlight. Is It supposed to fit that close? Attachment 17122

Went to BMW of Vista to do a courtesy inspection. That's where Vince, who is the supervisor and Master Tech work. He was the one that did the inspection and anything I could not handle, he does them on the side. Some items for attention....

- Ground wire to my trunk lights is opne somewhere in the loop bundle or from the trunk switch.
- Rear tires are close to be replaced.
- There is a slight leak on the left Side Seal of the Diffferential. He will do all seals and gaskets together all at once when his schedule opens up. I will have to leave my ZHP with him the whole weekend. But I will get a loaner by trading one of his cars.
- He replaced my A-Pillar panels.
- A complementary car wash.

He also stated that my passenger side airbag will be replaced when the drivers side airbag recall becomes official anyday now......

My filter was crammed into the back of the headlight and the tab for the factory bolt was about an inch to the rear of where it needed to be.

And it works fine?

I sent it back- couldn't get the heat shield to bolt down, so the filter would've been rubbing the back of the filter more than I was comfortable with.

She's idling really rough after start up. Not sure why though. https://vimeo.com/115302067

When is the last time the filter was cleaned. MAF sensor plugged in?

"No flamesuit required"

The guy cleaned it and oiled it before he sent me it. Maf sensor was plugged in.

I took it out and reinstalled the original intake and it's back to normal.

Probably something wrong with the filter.

Also, in terms of fitment, they seem to be hit and miss...
