rampelsauce Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Oh hey. 2009 328xi in Platnum Bronze with saddle interior. 150k-ish miles. It's a normal car that I don't plan on making abnormal. However I will disconnect the exhaust after the headers for any meets because it's tradition. here's a bad picture. Okay, bye!

rampelsauce Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 I'll post some more stuff soon. I have the full intake upgrade kit (from the 330i) plus lots of boxes of goodies from Turner and FCP. I haven't taken a good picture of my car just yet but I'm working on that, front bumper isn't great cosmetically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I'm just looking for sound, but it was a little throatier during an on ramp pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampelsauce Posted October 17 Author Report Share Posted October 17 Took some pics, trying to figure out next things to do on the wagon. I could do the RoundelWerk header (identical to the active header but actually in-stock), do a tune for my 3 stage intake mani, get a cold air setup (either the turner CAI or the AFE Stg2 which is fully enclosed), or do cosmetic stuff that needs to be addressed. Honestly cosmetics are not really that important for my daily driver, and I feel like performance and maintenance should take priority over looking like a cool cucumber. There's some goofing around I'd like to do under the car, just visual inspection type stuff, but I need to find a friend with a lift so I can do it in relative comfort. Anyway, here's some pictures. pynacl and m42b32 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted October 25 Author Report Share Posted October 25 Huge transformation taking place over here. wow. I'll be hitting up a couple pals this coming weekend to possibly do some more sick mods. Also, Speed-Buster pedal commander thingy coming in the mail, and finally pulled the trigger on a valentine one gen 2. Also took a look at my winters and need to replace two that are fried from the wonky shitbox M3. Nothing too exciting, but stuff is happening. m42b32 and P_Roloff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't put the roof rack on mine occasionally I'd really think about it. Now that the roof rails are gone, I need a better front bumper. From the side profile it's painfully pedestrian appearing. And I almost kept my roof rails but decided that I don't really need to haul anything on the roof of this car.

rampelsauce Posted October 27 Author Report Share Posted October 27 Well, I don't know how yall do it in the big city, but down here in the south we do things a little bit differently. So I got some products in the mail from various reputable vendors today. Firstly, bimmerworld sent me some goodies, main part being the speed-buster pedal tuner. Installed it right away and looks great! wow what a change! Also, from the great state of Ohio comes a piece of tech I've wanted since I was a kid because I was that kind of kid reading dupont registry and dreaming of driving fast and evading the cops. Got a Valentine One gen 2. It has to do with a drive I'd like to do next year. Was a good day for mail. Still waiting for my Road America plates. Thank you for reading this, please send money.

ASTROCHIMP Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 How’s the pedal tuner? I’ve seen them around but never really felt throttle response was so bad I needed one. Is it night and day or just a mild improvement? rampelsauce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen them around but never really felt throttle response was so bad I needed one. Is it night and day or just a mild improvement? Out of the hole and out of corners the difference is pretty awesome. My biggest complaint about my wagon was that it would search for gears and hesitate while spirited driving and accelerating out of corners. Now the power seems to be right there as soon as you tap the throttle. From a stop even my fairly anemic N52 will make my head hit the headrest. I'd say it's worth the money, and I'm really impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilber33 Posted October 28 Report Share Posted October 28 What does the pedal tuner do? Is it something that actually becomes part of the pedal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a signal booster that plugs into the pedal. It eliminates the factory delay by some sort of circuit wizardry. It really wakes the throttle response up.
