    New to BMW

    from what i've heard, u have 30 seconds to change the battery once the old one is out. otherwise, the key will have to be re-programmed if u have customized settings (seat settings etc.)

    Grill assembly around head lights .

    kidney grills just pop out as they are fastened w/ plastic clips that are designed to permanently break when removed- ie once u install it, that's it. if u remove it, u've bought yourself new ones. they are around $50+ bucks each. so, a pair will run $100+.

    Pontiac G8 looks too much like a new M3

    ^ i agree with what william said. it's like they just slanted the grills slightly and that's it. if u've ever seen a circa 2001+ series lincoln sedan, it also looks like they just copied the 3 series as well.

    BMW Concept Revealed: M1 Homage

    hmm. for a concept car, it looks very dated for some reason. can't quite put my finger on it, but it's probably too flat & square & needs to be more rounded & angular.

    Just rolled over the big 100K this weekend. She rattles & creaks a bit nowadays. But, otherwise she's holding up well and still very enjoyable to drive. Here's to another 100K... :)

    Real world MPG values 330xi

    for the bmw, i get 21 mpg pretty much regardless whether i shift at 3000 or 6000 rpm. i drive about 80% city and 20% freeway. so, that averages out to about 325+ miles per 16 gallon tank. (i usually fill up before going bone dry, so that's why i rounded up to 21mpg.) oh, i also keep my...

    Guys,... I am sick! Help!

    hmm... i think that compared to other 4 door sedans, the 335i would still have some pull given it's power to weight ratio. but, that all changes if u venture into the above $40K price tag range.
