Bought that transmission to exhaust bracket everyone’s been replacing lately from FCP. I’m traveling for work next week, so hopefully it’ll get here in time for my return.

Just got back from a run on one of my favorite roads--about 20 miles through a State forest with lots of sharp turns, dips, and rises and zero traffic. It's a tad rough but not too bad. Anyway, it was my first real test of my new Koni yellows (adjusted half a turn from full soft with OEM springs and 245/40R18 PSS) and 3.38 MFactory limited slip diff. Sooooo MUCH FUN! I had the DSC flash once going over a rise with no noticeable power loss, but I wasn't losing traction much, so I can't say the limited slip was doing much, but the extra torque was intoxicating! As for handling, the ride was EXQUISITE! It feels like it'll do anything asked, but I like to keep it well within safety margins. I'm loving those Koni's... I'd say the setting is just slightly on the stiff side of comfortable (gets annoying on a bumpy road, but absorbs the occasional big bump adequately)--noticeably stiffer than factory.
Nice.... which road?
I have my front koni yellows about 60% ‘stiff’ (1.75 turns from soft) and that is where I like them.

Yup, I love my Konis. I have them set to 0.75 turns from soft and like where that is.
Same, about 50-60% stiff. I’m willing to sacrifice comfort around town for the way they drive once I get into the outskirts of suburbia and beyond.Quote:

My Koni yellows are all the way soft... so nice after the Bilstein's I had on there a few years ago
I swapped out my BMW Performance glossy grills this morning for the AVIN glossy grills. The AVIN product looks exactly like the Performance grills and the fit is just like OEM. :thumbsup
The BMW Performance grill is on the left and the new AVIN grill on the right

The AVIN glossy grills are on sale right now for $39.99. I think I will get a few more sets of these before they are no longer sold....

Awesome. Seems like they are sold out of the plain gloss black. Only items listed are gloss with M stripes or matte black :/Quote:
