The numbers are indeed all over the place, but I would not call them high or for that matter pass any judgement on their absolute values. G-tech can only be used for A-to-B comparison. For everything else (like absolute 0-60 or RWHP values) its values are a wild guesstimate. alex f P.S.: FWIW, my euroHFM/CAI '95 M3 dynoed at 228 rear wheel HP.

Before and after runs were done starting on the same spot on the same road, with the same passengers. Before runs were very consistent: run#1 210 hp run#2 210 hp After runs were inconsistent: run#1 211 hp run#2 210 hp run#3 231 hp run#4 221 hp After runs were inconsistent. The car felt inconsistent in terms of horsepower. I was wondering if this was due to the ECU taking out timing, then putting it back in. Alex - what kind of plugs are you running? I have the bosch plat+4's, which I've heard mixed opinions about. Just trying to get everything worked out before my driving school next weekend..

BTW, that applies to Bosch Platinum plugs usage in M50/52, M20 and M30 engines. As in, Bosch Platinum plugs don't belong in any bimmer, period. alex

Oh, I guess this is what I get for having > the dove leather :-/ Chris, I've had good luck with both Lexol PH cleaner and the LeatherMaster cleaner. In fact I can't tell the difference between the two cleaners (LM leather conditioner/feeder seams to be better). Have you tried working the stains with a brush? Start with a tooth brush and slowly move up to harder (kitchen) plastic brushes as necessary. This is a very labor intensive and time consuming approach, but so far it has worked on every stain I've encountered. Just be careful not to scratch the paint off the leather surface. alex f

In addition, never heard of shortening oil change intervals to 'get all the dino out.' Indeed, most literature I've come across indicates that the two are fully compatible.
