mswaz is on a distinguished road
So got the car back on Saturday. Would have been sooner but they had some problems reprogramming.
So far so good the burning smell seems to be gone. Car is running good.
Couple of things I think I have noticed but may be me after being in a 328 for a week. probably due tot he reprogramming more than the new hoses.
  • Seems like throttle response is much better in 2nd and 3rd in M mode.
  • Sometimes before when starting off in M mode and manual from a stop or light the throttle was very sensitive, you'd have to feather the throttle at start or the car would jerk off the line, that seems to be gone now.
  • Exhaust sound does seem more quiet.
  • The downshifts in M Mode automatic for instance coming off a freeway offramp are much less pronounced. We all know that sometimes the downshifts could be abrubt especiallyn that 2nd to 1st. Now seems that 2nd to 1st downshift doesn't occur until the car is almost to a stop.
Anyways thats what I have noticed so far. Car is great just hope it stays that way..
