    I have a feeling that there's going to be a major reclassing of our events for next year. The current classing system just isn't fair ...

    IMHO, it was reasonably fair until unlimited boost became a factor. There'll never be a perfect way to class all the BMWs.

    *shrug* It's a statement of fact. New venues aren't popping up, either. If WDCR ever loses Fedex, I'll probably stop autoxing altogether.

    Thanks to all who responded, and everyone who has shared their experiences, advice and shown their 335s. I have definitely benefitted from all of that!

    I am going to do the following:

    1. I'm getting the HPFP replaced since it is failing (warranty issue). I am going to use Tischer, I have heard good things about them.
    2. I'm putting in the Dinan oil cooler, at my cost, since BMW NA won't "goodwill" it, and I can't fully enjoy driving this great car since I get nervous everytime I see that gauge hit 290. I can't believe that not having an oil cooler will not do long term damage to the engine.
    3. I am not making any other upgrades at this time. The one thing I saw at the September social that I liked alot was the hardwire install of the Valentine, and I found instructions for that install on e90forum, and I may (for the first time!) be brave and try to do that myself. I'm not much of a DIY'er, but there's a time to start everything.
    4. I will likely change the tires from the OEM runflats to other tires (probably in November/early December), I may go to 19" PS2s, or I may stay with the 17"s.
    5. The next upgrade, possibly in the spring, will likely be to the suspension. If I was doing it today, I would probably put the Dinan "3" suspension upgrade in.
    6. The final upgrade (resisting temptation here to make this upgrade today!) will be the ECU flash (Dinan stage 2, or whatever version is available at that time).

    I think this makes sense, it gives me time to enjoy the car as it is, make improvements one at a time, and see the incremental benefits.

    Thanks again to all who have helped, I am sure I will keep on asking for your input and looking around!
