Pumping more than 20 psi in an engine with stock internals, fairly high compression, and a relatively lean AFR seems like a recipe for disaster in my understanding but I am by no means an expert |

If youre on a tune you should make sure to change that 0w20, i would go for a 0w30/5w30/0w40. If youre in hot climate a 5w40 would be my pick.

However, this is a very deep rabbit hole and I don't think I will switch from the manufacturers recommended because there are so many variables in oil weights and their ingredients that it boggles the mind. |

See below
Getting exciting, a few weeks until delivery! One of my main goals is the lighter the better which is why I went with the 330i over the 330e even though the 330e is 20%+ cheaper in our region because of significantly lower import duties on electric and PHEVs. It’s also one of the reasons I didn’t order a moonroof - extra weight in the worse place possible and also it’s literally a hole in your roof that lets water in by design LOL. My main ‘splurge’ option was the M-LSD. I finally saw the rims I ordered in the flesh for the first time while visiting a dealership in the USA last week and they are my favourite! I was worried that I may have made the wrong choice but in person they look awesome on the mineral grey 330i! See bottom two pics. This is USA spec car so has the yellow side indicator in the front (doesn’t come in our region), and this car didn’t have the M-Sport Brakes. Rims look sweet though!

That looks like a good enough spec. It says cruise control with auto braking. Is that adaptive cruise control? I have the regular cruise control. I don’t think my car will auto brake unless it’d talking about the pre collision thingy.

Another interesting thing about my spec, I really disliked the new digital instrument cluster so luckily you could select the old school if you wanted, fwwwweeeewww! |

I drove an Audi with DCT about 8 years ago and it shifted instantly, if the 330i is anywhere near as fast I will be happy. Do you use the paddles or gear knob when in manual shifting mode? |
