Well, after too many weeks without my car I finally have it back and it feels great to have it back to its former glory!
So what's your impression of Milwaukee Motorwerks? They are right down the road from my house and I always have people asking me for a recommendation when I can't get their car in at my house.

So far I am impressed with the work that they did. Not overly impressed with the amount of time it took but I don't know how much control they had on that. I think that really fell on the insurance company and having to transport it to the alignment shop plus waiting for an axle that had to be shipped from Germany. Brian was great through it all even with me constantly emailing him for progress updates. They are moving soon to a bigger shop because they have been slammed. I would feel confident recommending people there.

Awesome! I feel like the communication of the progress is almost more important than the amount of time it took. Glad to hear it worked out for you!

Yea, he even threw in a couple free things like boost leak test so my impression with him has been great.

I've been debating this. How thick was your concrete and how much did you end up paying? Were you able to work out any discount for the review?

I liked the custom hydraulic lines to get those out of the way, great idea.
Thanks! I can't imagine having to roll the cart out, connect the lines and trip over that crap every time you want to use it.

My concrete is 4" thick, the minimum requirement. No discount for the review. Jegs has it on sale for $1699 and after using a $100 discount code I found (SAVEMORE), it was $1599 + tax with free shipping.

MaxJax usually charges $100 for liftgate service and $40 for residential delivery. Jegs must eat that charge because I didn't have to pay anything extra to get it dropped off at my house. Shipping guy called me a few minutes before he arrived so I ran home and had him put it right in my garage.

That's pretty awesome. I drilled a hole in my back garage and it's exactly 4". Based on your pictures I can't imagine there's much you couldn't do on this lift. Good buy!

Nice! So far, it's been great. I've been working under it almost every day since installing it... lol.
Are you looking into getting one?

Anybody using MHD and have experience with the infamous 2BDE shadow code?
Was curious, went searching, found this:

Yea, I have read a ton of posts on e90 and bimmerfest including this one and they all seem to point in different directions from hpfp to lpfp sensor to high pressure sensor. None of them really give a clear answer on a fix

There aren't always clear answers on a fix
Start with the easier stuff to fix / diagnose, and move to the more complicated stuff later. The internet tricks us all into thinking that we will find exactly what is wrong with out car, with one simple search.
The internet is a great tool for narrowing down issues, and confirming common ones, but diagnosis on your own vehicle will always trump what you read online. -

After hours of searching the good ol internet the possible "fixes" list just keeps growing. Started with resetting adaptions and then will start with senors before the infamous hpfp
