Some metal shavings in oil after transmission fluid change F80 6MT

Hey guys - trying to figure out if anyone has an idea of how much shavings / glitter is normal after the cars first trans fluid change? The guy working on my car showed me a little cup he grabbed right after opening the plug and there was was some in the bottom of the cup, and he got some after wiping the drain plug after, he said it was a bit more than he normally sees. They were between .5-1mm and there wasn’t a big pile just a dusting on the inside of the cup and maybe a little in the bottom Also said not to lose sleep over it, just if the shifting gets noticeably more difficult or clunky that some work might be done. Another BMW mechanic I know said it’s normal, and fine cause the material wasn’t brass it was silver. Car shifts perfect now, but I’m curious if this might be something that would need to be done soonish or far in the future. Car has 40k miles.

Best custom ring designers to work off my cad?

Hey guys, I’m looking for a company to make a ring based off of a cad design I made, they’ll need to be talented as it’s a bit of a difficult design, and the local jeweler I’ve been working with has done a terrible job and a long time and boy am I over it. I already have the stone, money is of little concern to me I just want someone who can make it right.
Any help would be VERY appreciated as I’ve been working on this for nearly a year now. As well, I’d also be looking at someone who might be able to cut stones for the side as I don’t believe sapphires are easily available in a standard size that would fit.
Thanks!!

Wildest feeling Ducati twin?

Hey gang, I just finished my 996 build and took it for a ride and it’s got me thinking quite a bit. This thing has a visceral raw quality that can’t even close to compare with the new ducatis I’ve owned, which makes me think what do y’all think is the wildest one of all?
Thanks!!

Hey guys just had a new OEM clutch and flywheel put in, and noticed some chatter. I’ve been driving it across country home about 1000 miles of highway driving after install, not start stop city traffic barely using the clutch. I know the clutch might take some time to bed in / break in, is this all it is? The first start is adding some gas like you normally would which doesn’t get much chatter, and the second is slipping the clutch slowly letting that move the car without gas which makes the chatter sound much worse. As well, this video is with the trans nice and warmed up after a 10hr drive, it seemed like it didn’t do it this morning with a cold trans. Thanks!!

Hey guys just got my f80 going good, took it to wring it out a little and noticed it got decently squirrelly above 130, once I hit about 140 I had to back off as it pushed to the right hard and scared the shit out of me. It’s on pilot sport 4S and stock everything except wheels it’s on HREs, don’t know the exact model as they were in there when I bought it. What can I do to make this better, and be more confident at speed? Thanks!
