On the press release by BMW UK back in May, it said "EU6 classification standard for all series" and "the number of diesel models, which are also equipped as standard with BMW BluePerformance and as a result also achieve the EU6 classification, is also to increase."

In the latest pricing, you still have to pay nearly £1,000 for the BluePerformance option on all diesels. I don't want to pay for something that BMW UK has said would be standard from 07/13 production. ]]> UK -AndyH- http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855405 Ringing sound ? http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855404&goto=newpost Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:13:13 GMT Hi Chaps, Has anyone experienced an intermittent ringing type sound ?.

Has anyone experienced an intermittent ringing type sound ?. It sounds a bit like brake squeal, but isnt. I cant quite put my finger, or ears, on just where the ringing is coming from, but its somewhere underneath the car. Seems to last a few minutes, and if i shut off, when i start up again, the ringing is gone. Dont think its very serious, but would like to track it down. Its happened twice this last week, any ideas ?. Thankyou, regards, SIMON. ]]> BMW M5 (F10) General Forum Simon H http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855404 Will an X-Pipe reduce drone? (E90) http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855403&goto=newpost Thu, 20 Jun 2013 09:53:19 GMT Hi All,

I've just had a gthaus meisterschaft (race?) axel back installed on my e90 (N54) and while idle, WOT and downshifting sounds great, it's a little too loud / drones at cruising speeds (1800 - 2600rpm). Being an AT makes it worse as it sounds like a shagged set of bagpipes..

Given that it's an E90, it has a stock resonator in place. I also have AR catless DP's; however the rest of the exhaust remains stock.

Any suggestions to reduce the drone at cruising speeds?

1. Will replacing the resonator with a X or H pipe help or make it worse?
2. Replace secondary cats with resonators
3 Add a x or h pipe - in addition to the stock resonator
4. Sell it - If it's too loud I'm clearly too old! :rolleyes:

Wondering if anyone could help as I dont want to pay the cash to take the car to BMW.

I had 2 warnings flash up one for "Front left parking light failure" and "Left reverse light failure" checked both the bulbs and replaced the rear one so they are both fine and working however the message still remains.

Checked for a damp PDC on advice on BabyBMW.net but this is fine.

So basically any ideas? Particularly can you reset the warning bongs?

Thanks in advance

There isn't much exhaust choices either yet.

I recently (two months ago) sold my SC'ed M3 (ess 575, hfc) and purchased JSB 08 Z06. I've only driven the car for 2 hours in traffic and then dropped it off at the port. I'm patiently waiting on it to arrive (taking 9 weeks instead of promissed 5-6 weeks... don't ship with shipoverseas.com). It was a pretty even trade (minus shipping cost). Z06 has bilstein suspension, APX two piece rotors, aftermarket nav, back up camera, running 295/345 tires, 2LZ options. M3 was fully loaded, carbon fiber inside, 6 speed, E90, blacklines tails, Jrz blk, black nostrils, 575kit, Fabspeed hfc&xpipe, comp wheels...

My first impressions are: :happyanim: power :confused0068: eventhough my m3 was 600hp, it did not feel as fast as the z06... but true comparison will come once i take the vette on the autobahn. There could be positives and negatives. I took my friend that had c5z for a high speed ride and he was like :confused0068: it's so quiet, so planted. My buddy with a GTR said the same thing (his was lots faster though), I could hold the steering wheel with one hand at 180mph and not raise my voice when talking. The shifter in the Z felt a lot better, although the shifts are violent, it feels like the car wants to rip everything underneath it... m3 felt like a little pony compared to stalion (first impression, more to come later). Steering felt better on the M3, vettes felt a bit numb in the middle. I was only able to take one on ramp at moderate speed, and i wasn't really sure how much grip i had :confused2: , where with m3 u knew it.


Interior: Seating, well, this was given and known, m3 seats are better.... However!, i much preffer the way u are seated in the corvette! I really like how you sit low, everything just wraps around you, those huge fenders up front, the small windows, u know u driving a beast/sports car... m3, most of the time, felt like a plain car, until you look for those badges (or start pressing go pedal). Maybe cause i'm 27 i preffer the feeling of a sport car over the gt car. I don't think it's THAT bad. I really dig the buttons to open the doors, the central panel is nice black with nice metal bezels for cup holders. I already ordered DSV steering wheel (i loved my m3 steering wheel), it's D premium, so flat on the buttom with alcantra on the sides and perforated letter(blue stiching). For the door buttons i'll be ordering carbon bits. The central arm rest, i'll be ordering that in alcantra as well(with blue stiching). So just those few pieces will make the interior much nicer, and that's $800 total. Seats can be upgraded to something REALLY nice, something that koning owners prob have, but they are at $4.5k for both (maybe after deployment i'll get them). Side panels can be done nicely too. (below is an example of $6-7k spent well on interior).

Reliability: well... m3 was trouble free, mostly... brakes were the weak point. I was always worried about them. On track days they got pushed to the limit, pads were wearing out quickly. There is a lot of braking on the autobahn too (especially when u driving 150+mph and somone jumps in front of you at 80mph). They worked well, but I always wanted a lot more brakes. Second, oil changes... i did mine at 7.5k miles. At $15 a can x 9, that's a lot... plus SC oil. Corvette, the biggest fear is valve train... engines seem to be popping like hot chick poping bubble wrap. It makes me really scared, and I am starting a fund for head work (I'd prob need extra to get some mods in as well as to not waste money). That's pretty much it.

Modding: It seems that Z is a lot more mod friendly in a perfect world, but with shelling out 3-4K for preventive head work makes it close to on par with m3 mod $... $3.5k for head work, $1k cam, $3k headers, $.5k intake, $1k tune is about a supercharger price (though z will carry much more power at this price point).

Reasons for switch: The main reason i switched is because i wanted a more track oriented car (i'll be tracking nurburgring mostly... did 7:45 in the m3), but not a track car. I need a daily, and a car for road trips. I believe z06 will be better for the autobahn due to gearing. I often wanted to cruise at 150+mph, but m3 iwas at 6-7k rpm there (although i did it a few times when going to the airport). My m3 had 65k miles (15k supercharged), and I wanted something with less miles. Z06 also seems much better on gas too.

Any impressions from people that switched these two cars?
