But when it runs, it's quite enjoyable.
I tightened it up, there's no more leak.. hopefully.

I mean. You could just buy it it's a hell of a car and you obviously have a really good one. The F30s and the N55 engines don't seem to have typical BMW issues...

Heh well it's a straight pipe anyway so probably doesn't make too much difference.

The essence of Italian car ownership, boiled down to 6 words.

I don't think i ever want that much money tied up in a car, until that money is a non issue.

mine burned about 1/2 qt oil in 3k miles. Just noticed today when I was looking over vac/boost lines chasing a CEL p2261 boost issue. I felt a narly hiccup in boost at low rpm while gently taking off. Kept doing it with the light on every 3rd or 4th take off, plus temp was 100+ degrees. Cleared codes, no obvious vac line issue. unplugged piggy back and havent had the issue today. some online shit say DV/valve issue during high heat.

Mine is burning twice as much oil as yours.
Hmm, is your DV stock? Might be the piggyback
Mine hiccups at around 5500 rpm sometimes, I should check the spark plug gaps.

DV Is stock. Didn't mess with that. Just a madness piggy back and their long intake that ties to the front scope.
Ran solid all Saturday and Sunday in stock mode with tune unplugged. I really think it just didn't like 100 degrees.
