a friend who is a semi-pro detailer recommended the Porter 7424 to me. he said that this model rotary is safer than others and is good for beginners- namely because it never reaches rotational speeds high enough to burn through clearcoat or paint. obviously though, good common sense is...

hi jay (or anyone else who knows), my system just clogged up again this weekend. can you briefly explain how to access that filter? (ie do u have to stick your hand inside and pry it out, or how does it come off?) thanks in advance for your help. d

ouch... [nutkick] [chair] [boxface] [B)]

my shop asked if i wanted regular synthetic or the "european" synthetic, whatever that means... i just said to use the european stuff, since they say that's what the dealers use. <shrugs>

toyota prius + scion xA = bmw f3?!! [xx(] well, from some angles it looks ok... i guess i'll withhold final judgement until i see it in person. but, i'm sorry- any car that resembles the prius can't be "sexy"...

<sigh> no one ever listens to me... :)

it's so that ppl who don't have $ to get a GT can own one too. it's giving customers options i guess...

hi srl, first off, did ur car come with the premium harmon kardon system (ie speaker system)? i know i'm going to get flamed for saying this- because there are a lot of audio enthusiasts (cough: snobs)- on this site that hate the bmw premium harmon kardon system like it was their...

holy crap... that guy must really have money to burn... i would've at least made a nice garage to house it in and so the car would be driveable once in a while. so sad...

if it's in the middle, u can still add more. the dipstick should read full- ie all the way to the right where the grooves are. 1. be careful not to add too much oil tho. if u'r not sure, then add it til it's just before the right. 2. make sure to wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert it...

ah cool. so it's still prime buying time then :) cool, let us know how it goes.

u say it lights up for 30 seconds and then goes away? hmm... have you checked your oil levels and made sure you're not running low?

when is the z4 due for a re-design, anyone know?

i want to get a front stress for my 99 323i too- just want something basic- ie w/ decent performance and not too expensive. (my car is after all almost 9 years old.) does anyone have personal experience with or know if the "Bavarian Autosport Front Stressbar" Bavarian Autosport Front Stressbar...

congrats and welcome to the club! :)

yes- unplugging the power seat electrical cable when you remove a front seat automatically triggers the check airbag light. this is completely normal and expected. in fact, if it didn't trigger, then i'd suspect there is something wrong with your car. i had a small color touch-up on my front...

yah the R8 is pure butter, but with a price tag to match though... not a daily driver for sure. i read somewhere that audi lifted some design elements off the mazda rx-8, just as bmw did for the cabin interior of the 335i.

3-4 years seems kind of short. yah- like big daddy suggested- go get the battery tested. the battery in my 99 323i lasted almost 7 years (from summer 1998 - summer of 2005). it actually still had juice left, but i decided to be proactive. i bought a replacement battery from beverly hills bmw...

it looks nice, and the performance specs are more in-line with the aesthetics... i'll withhold final judgement until i see/ touch one in person. similar to the z4 though, the tt has never really made my heart pump... it's a nice-looking car though.

if ur looking for a 97, might's well get a 99 323i... same car, newer body styling, more power. probably under $10k from a private party... u can search and find many threads about issues. should have average and/or better-than-average reliability. so, if u find one in good condition and...
