well, it doesn't seem to matter whether i buy the oem bmw bulbs + sockets from the bmw dealer or if i buy the Sylvania's from AutoZone. periodically, the bulbs (& sockets) burn out, regardless. so, i just carry Sylvania in my trunk cuz they're cheaper.

doesn't BMW ship the M3 with Michelins as OEM? holy snikeys batman. $300+ per tire. the M3 is an expensive car to own i guess... wow...

haywood> the bulb sockets "burn out" quite often too- meaning, you might get it to work for a while by cleaning the contact points. but, at some point that contact point will completely melt. and, you'll need to replace the entire socket. i recommend keeping some handy for when that...

well, front turn signal lamps on the e46, it can be a bitch. so, i think haywood deserves a bit of a break on this one. having done this MANY times on my car- which eats these bulbs for lunch- it's never a quick 5 minute task. the rubber clip ends of the housing fall off very easily and like...

looks like it's sold.

the only button i have between the window buttons & stick shift in the center console is the "window lock" button, which disables rear passengers from opening the window from their button. i don't find it that useful, but i think for parents with small children it's probably a life saver. :)

yah. now all i need is $65k... lol :P

ok. here are my 2 dream machines... the site is kinda buggy. :)

yah, but driving around u pick up road dust, tree sap, insects etc. this is just for AFTER you've washed, buffed, & waxed and just want to remove the wax dust. :)

Looks like they added it there now... The web site's a bit slow. Everyone must be on there customizing like mad! LOL :)

page no workie

hmm... i thought that the 330ci came with LSD. in fact, my recollection is that the 335i is the only new beamer to come without LSD- namely because it's a way to squeeze a few more whp's into it. (the new nissan z's no longer come with LSD either for that very reason. ie, in the push for...

wow, that's awesome! thanks for sharing that :)

cool thanks. i thought using the leaf blower would be an inexpensive way to do it. :)

i have Michelin MXV4+ also and like them as well.

bigdaddy, what do u use to blow wax dust off after waxing? my friend uses a motorized air compressor. those things work greeat, but they are expensive. a bit too much for a hobbyist like me... well, i kept thinking about it, and decided to buy one of those electrical leaf blower thingies...

wow, u guys get pretty worked up over this eh? lol well, u're just passionate about your car care, which is a good thing. :) i'm new to detailing also, and i have a friend that's been teaching me. he details exotics mostly- ferraris, vettes, lambo's etc. and, there's a lot more to...

when your coils burn out, you lose power drastically. (it won't even be a question.) shivering engine could be engine mounts or something else.

black/ red interior looks very corny & ghetto on a normal sedan- in my opinion. only on an M3, Z4, or sport coupe does it pull off the sportiness that gives the sharp contrast 2-tone its full panache. but, it's subjective i guess... the new dakota leather is definitely firmer and slightly...

well, she's doing something right to be making all that endorsement money for being a lousy competitor at her craft. :)
