New owner - Questions inside
Hello,
I just picked up a 2015 F82 I had a couple of questions. The previous owner or perhaps a would be detailer got some type of overspray on the instrument cluster lens as well in the two center air vents. It looks kind of like armor all, and it isn't coming off. Has anyone run into this, and are there any tips on getting it cleaned up. I have some clear coat coming off of one of my wheels. The car is older, and out of bumper to bumper coverage, but would this fall under the corrosion coverage? granted there is a little rash on the wheel, but not everywhere the clear is peeling. Aside from getting them refinished or replaced, just looking for some advise. What ODBII scanner/coding tool is recommended, which connector would anyone recommend for using coding applications? Carley or Bimmercode, or something else? Is a catch can a worthy upgrade? I am sure if these cars are bad about carbon deposits, mine already has some. Any noninvasive techniques to clean the valves up, of this is really a big deal? Any other modest upgrades that anyone would suggest up front? I don't really think it needs a tune, plenty of meat on the bone for power. It has a burger motorsports elite intake already installed. |

1) Try using Megiuars UC for the instrument cluster. If that doesn't take it out, then you're gonna need a pro or replacement. 2) No, it wouldn't fall under corrosion. You should refinish all 4 so they look the same. Matching OEM finish is hard. 3) I use bimmercode and some cheap OBDII reader off Amazon. 4) Catchcan not required or needed on S55. 5) Invest in some MPS4s or ContiExtremeContact and pay for some track/AX time.

I second on BimmerCode it's a great app to use to customize your car. My personal favorite thing is video in motion and folding mirrors when the car is locked.

I have some local connections that powder coat wheels, but I am not sure that is the direction I want to go, I really like factory finish. |

There are some shops that are skilled enough to refinish the wheel to look like factory. I’m not a fan of the solid color wheel so I prefer to keep the silver/black tone.

Also, go for a single midpipe VRSF or AA for the exhaust. As for corrosion warranty on the wheel I doubt it. Make sure it's a good shop because very few shops can nail the 437m finish. Most of them do it too light |

LOL, my fronts go out faster than my rears. But that's probably because of tracking. I floor it all the time, but it's more progressive to maximize traction with DSC completely off.
