666m road noise
Is the road noise with the 20 inch 666m wheels significantly worse than the 19 inch 437m wheels when driving on bad surfaces?
Or are they similar?
Thanks

DCT Paddle Issue - Left paddle upshifts?
I've had my F80 for a while now, but only in the last few months have I noticed an intermittent issue where the left paddle(typically the downshift paddle) begins to upshift. The right paddle remains as it should so both paddles shift up, though shifting via the gear selector still works as intended.
It's something that fixes itself, either during the drive or after restarting the car.
I'm sure it has something to do with the various tunes/flashes on it; BM3 Stage 1 and GTS trans flash, coding for anti-dazzle, CS suspension, and comfort access, and Bimmercode having turned most of the chimes off. That said, car has been tuned since I got it and the issue has only recently begun. It also does not appear to be affected by a reflash of a tune or setting the trans tune back to standard.
Anyone else encountered this issue or have any insight as to what may be the cause/solution?

Yellow DRL modules
I’m wondering which modules to buy for my 2016 f83, I was reading that most of the 2016-2018 have xenon headlights but the ones on my car look like LED’s. If anyone knows I would appreciate the help.

Knocking noise
Hello, I was driving the car moderately hard. Nothing over 6.5k RPMs. Got a drivetrain malfunction light. Pulled over, turned the car off, and when it started again no light. Now the engine is knocking. No check engine light though. What do you think it could be?
2015 F80 106k miles
Update: got towed home. Needed to turn it on to get it in neutral. When I got home the knocking was not there. However, now it gave me the drivetrain malfunction. It was sputtering like a misfire. Towing it to the shop tomorrow. Thank you for all your advice.
Update: pulled the codes
- PO52B- camshaft position timing over retarded bank 1.
- PO300- random misfire detected.
- PO306- cylinder six misfire detected.
- PO304- cylinder four misfire detected
I did have a low engine oil light about a month ago. I did add a quart and did not have a low engine light after that.
I did do my coils and plugs about two months ago. It was my first time. And on Saturday I did add E 85 for my stage 1 93 octane map from Bootmod.
There’s an indep shop in town that I’ll be towing it in to soon. I would appreciate any more education on this thank you.

Coding off loud cold start
Hi guys,
I'm looking to pick up an F80 Competition soon for some spirited driving. I had one very briefly a few years ago.
The cold start is earth shattering loud. It's not something I would ideally want before 8am or past 9pm.
I understand that it can be coded off, is there any negative impact to the engine/car? I understand that it's there for emissions regulations.
Have any of you guys done it?
Thanks.

Boost leak?
Was on the highway and was about to do a pull and lost my boost. I looked at all my pipes and cleaned my MAF sensors and still nothing. Turbos are healthy and spooling, but I hear a whistling noise with the spooling. Any clue what this can be? Maybe a boost leak or air leak somewhere?

Thoughts?
Hyper silver or “satin titanium”? Typically like silver but thought the 359s might age the car so I was thinking a more “modern” grey color. Not sure about grey on grey though. I like that the satin titanium makes the car’s body lines pop a little more

Nitron Roadsport Coilovers
Have been running these for a while now, and despite the odd reference there really isn’t much written about them online so thought I’d post my impressions.
TLDR: Transformative, composed, comfortable and confidence-inspiring. Wish I’d done it years ago etc.
————————
Car is an F80 Comp / DCT - car is a daily, kids in back, fun at the weekend, not (currently) used on track.
The original EDC dampers were very tired and I’d probably not helped them running eibach lowering springs for quite a few years. As I result I suspect any coilover/damper replacement was going to feel good - however…
The transformation is night and day. No more “crashiness” at low speed, or floaty instability in high speed corners. Composure on B roads is confidence inspiring, significantly faster as a result (not sure if that’s always a good thing..)
Running 12/12 (half way) as a baseline, ride height same as previous lowering springs - not slammed. Ride is slightly firmer than stock, but they’re significantly more comfortable than “comfort”. No clunks, no additional NVH.
Recommend, don’t miss EDC functionality at all.
