Purchased a used LCM (61319133026) for additional troubleshooting of my fast blink/bulb out errors. Been reading about PASoft and module coding all day today.

Neither do I. Run windows in a VM (virtualbox is free and works fine). And if you don't have a copy of Windows lying around somewhere, get the trial for Windows Enterprise (good for 90 days, though can be extended to 360 with some command line commands).

This was going to be my suggestion as well. VMs run very well these days

Should be all there is. You may have to give the suspesnion a good tug though. You will lose your alignment

Hit a tired tread last week. I cleaned up all the black marks that were on the bumper, fender, and BBS's! Now I need to order a fog light cover since it apparently dissapeared from the tire tread!

Tried to measure camber with my friend's tool and failed. It only handles up to 18" wheels. lol

I tried to undo the rear camber bolt but failed on that too. Way too tight and seized. Under car leverage sucks. Haha. I'll figure it out another day when I'm not tired.

My wife's E39 530i also had the same situation. All she said was there was this black thing flying real fast and did a big bang. She was really scared and almost swerved all over the lanes. I think she did say she yelled out. It hit the front grill and pushed in the frontal hood. Both kidneys got smashed. I tried to push our the sheet metal in vain. I think this will require a whole new hood. Still have not filed with insurance yet.

My 1999 323i came with some strange dents on the hood, close to the roundel. I had no clue why ... until now. Maybe it was road debris. :dunno
