Yeah, ethanol sucks. I used to see an increase of over 5% in MPG when I could run eth and non-eth back to back. I run 10oz of Lucas upper cyl lube/eth conditioner with each eth fill up.

Steering wheel from Germany Installed:
 

Perfection, just the way I ordered it, easy swap which took me 20 mins (I disconnected fuse 44 for the airbag and left the battery hooked up), disregard the flash on my iPhone 5 as it was dark in my garage, and please forgive the dirty floor mats as my X is due for a cleaning this weekend!

Will upload these pics in the "steering wheel upgrades thread" as I detailed the seller from Ebay Germany as well as pricing, specs etc...

Btw, the flash makes the black leathers look different, the wheel is all the same color leather...

Looks like that wheel has some serious Girth! Huge improvement!

Was experiencing shuddering feeling at anything other than full throttle.

Was also using to much methanol. Found the fluid was flowing at a rate well in excess of the injection pulse settings.
Installed a check valve to correct the excess flow.

Nitrous has been firing at only 1/4 throttle. Reset the controller as it had somehow lost the settings.

Cleaned the MAF.

All is well.

DREMEL MAGIC
 

I had to dremel the rust out of the light socket on the rear tail socket assembly, but it fixed the light even though the socket channel rusted through a small hole. NOW, I have to figure out why the Parking light "P" is always on when the car is off and in Park. What's up with that? And can I fix the driver side mirror switch, or does it get replaced?

Test drove an X6 and OH MY GOD.
