Car ended up making 480whp on Pump gas and 28-29psi. Never turned the wick up with E85. Put it on AutoTrader and it was sold within 24 hours. The new owner is a great guy and I am more than sure he will enjoy the car for what it is and take great care of it.

I just bough a 335xi to dick around with as a comfy/ricer waxing DD

And I still have this to play with

I call my insurance "free towing" and the flat bed tow truck driver arrives. We get the car half-way up his truck and notice the passenger side wheel is wobbling. Humm. We jack up the car and find all 5 lugs are finger tight! Then we jack up the rear passenger side and all 5 lugs are finger tight! The driver side wheels were fine. I rotated my tires 2 weeks ago and no issues at all until today.

I highly doubt I didn't tighten all 10 lug nuts on 1 side of the car especially since I use an impact gun etc... and remember ensureing all the lugs were tight. Bottom line,,, check your lugs! And then,, check them again! It could have been very bad for me today! I went to the Green, Dayton Mall etc.. the past few weeks and my friend says maybe someone tried to "jack" my wheels. I dunno. I do know, I am now going to buy a beater car ASAP!!!!
Wow Mike glad you are ok, that could have ended very badly.
