I saw a new Alpina B7 in black today as I was walking my dog. When I was walking home I saw it in a garage just up the street from mine. Man, that's a nice car!

found this website

http://pure-gas.org/

I'm going to fill up at one of the stations and see if my car runs any differently / better. The website points out that it's fairly easy to test for ethanol in the gas yourself so maybe I'll do that some day.

In Germany the pumps with 10% ethanol are clearly labeled E10... but in America they're allowed to give us up to 10% ethanol without really telling you I think. My car is now fairly aggressively tuned for 93 octane 100% gasoline so I want to be careful about what I put in the tank

Also, it pulls strong though 5th, and I've had reports of flames

Mine shot flames until the dme adapted after some miles, then I was.

Andy2108 · 01-16-2013, 09:24 PM

its probably been 300 or 400 miles since I got the tune

You gonna dyno soon?

Andy2108 · 01-16-2013, 09:44 PM

yeah

Rubenk · 01-16-2013, 09:46 PM

Shell premo is the stuff I always tried to run, it is typically ethanol free too.

Andy2108 · 01-17-2013, 08:53 AM

shell with vpower made my 330 run like **** so I don't use it anymore

ZkansasZ · 01-17-2013, 11:57 AM

Let me know when... I would like to go and possibily do mine again on another dyno with lighter wheels... I wonder how much of a difference that really makes.

Rubenk · 01-17-2013, 07:21 PM

Dyno? Can I go and embarrass everybody?? lol

sly1types · 01-17-2013, 07:54 PM

We should do a dyno day!

Andy2108 · 01-17-2013, 08:10 PM

I went to that Jake guy's shop the first time. I guess ill go there again to get the true numbers on my tune. I have switched fuel though. Instead of BP 93 octane winter gas, I have a full tank of price chopper 91 "no ethanol". I'd like to go on Monday, if they're not open, cause I don't have school. I would probably go in the morning. I have a meeting that afternoon

Andy2108 · 01-17-2013, 10:27 PM

it was cheap too. Like $3.31

Weapon ///M · 01-18-2013, 03:20 PM

Saw a local today with an E46 coupe (non-m) with an ///M badge on the back, with some gaudy wheels on it. Young kid...

Andy2108 · 01-18-2013, 04:47 PM

I wish I had an m3 badge

I'm going to buy a new one sometime

Andy2108 · 01-18-2013, 04:58 PM

Just bought a legit m3 badge. It was $20 plus ship.

PainBreak · 01-20-2013, 10:55 PM

Anybody in the KC area bored, and want to update my DME?

Andy2108 · 01-20-2013, 11:04 PM

I think you need the fancy computer to do that
