How does the AA Tuning thing work exactly? Short of showing up, having them put your car on a dyno, and manually programming it... what do you mean "send you a few more to try"?

316i M50B25

Stuff to do this year:

KONI or Bilstein PSS9 coilover kit.
17'' black AZEV A rims
Complete engine overhaul(maybe new chip with schrick cams).
Lots of gauges

Anything more than that isn't just realistic for me atm. Living in Estonia has it's disadvantages... for one... we earn in a year less than most of you do in a few months :p


And about having sex in your car.. I don't recommend it :p Too much cleaning up afterwards :) Plus it's not the most ergonomically sound place to reproduce :p Especially a third series BMW... you see... it's SMALL ;)

Well my stuff is mostly maintenance, but I won't be able to get to it until the spring.

1) Replace fuel filter
2) Replace microfilter
3) Clean throttle body
4) Install ZKW lights with HID (I'm really looking forward to this one!)
5) Possibly getting an electric fan with underdrive pullies.

That's the plan...but plans always change.
