Both were manual and due to money shifts. They are a Sonic dealer and and have many other BMW dealerships which had no other cases.

Would you be willing to adopt someone (me)?

I’m sitting here on a Sunday watching some XFL and wondering what you have a better chance of, a SCH or a cracked factory charge pipe. I have absolutely no idea! Both seem to be far and few.

If you are running a tune, I wouldn't hesitate to have the fix done. Just do it.

Thought I would be ok on e85 but I spun the hub about a month ago.

If you're going to fret over it, don't buy the car, period.

Tens of thousands of cars? that many cars are tuned that heavily among all F8x that has been sold? I am skeptical that still most owners (including most who doesn't even come to this forum) don't tune like that...

So what's the cost to repair a SCH? What did it damage and what was the final cost to get it back in the road?
