Ready to burn the car to the ground.
[ame="http://youtu.be/dC5Xa3RmmV4"]Latest Oil Change[/ame] Also still have a drivetrain vibration at higher speeds that makes the shifter shake so bad the transmission feels like it's about to fall out.

Can't stop, won't stop! You gotta see this through! What the hell is failing internally now? Have you considered rebuilding the engine yourself from the crank up? |

I'm not quite sure what it is now, but oil pressure is still decent and hasn't changed, so not any bearings I don't think. I have plans / a build list to redo the engine completely. Don't really have the funds to jump head first though. Trying to see if I can recoup most of the cost by selling off all the stuff I won't use. Which is pretty much everything Texas Speed haha. For grins I sent Texas Speed the pictures and they didn't like them either. I don't expect them to do anything as they barely did anything last time. Though not sure I want them to do anything besides possibly a refund at this point. Nothing but issues.

This is technically my daily, but I do have other cars I could daily. I just really enjoy driving this car.

The only thing that could possibly wear would be the oil pump, and I think it would be really bad if it was shedding that bad.

I would assume that since emtron has a plug and play kit available, the ability to utilize the push start button should be available by now.

I don't have push button start, so that doesn't effect me any. I am really looking at syvecs because I know for a fact they integrate with BMW DCT which I may go with down the road.

Minor updates.
I am starting to think my driveshaft is too short, which has been causing my speed related vibration. Not super happy with the length I decided to go with anyway. So I might as well have that fixed while I am chasing an issue. I will measure pinion angle while I am doing that. Texas Speed definitely thinks there is an issue. Which is good for confirmation, but not for wallet.

This is the company that built and then rebuilt it for you? They aren't going to fix it on their dime?

At this point, I really just want a new engine or partial refund. This one obviously has issues, but I am not holding my breath. With as much money and time I have spent working on this engine, I don't feel it's worth continuing with TSP products. Especially with @ILLSMOQ having similar issues and finding the heads cracked with only 2500? miles on the car.
