    Official New M3 pictures from Geneva Auto Show

    it looks like audi found a nice way to integrate the navi without the big ugly lump... :) actually, the flip-up design of the navi on my rx-8 isn't all that ugly either. when it's closed, the entire dashboard is smooth. when it's up, it's in a great viewing position.

    323i overheated - need help

    thanks for the helpful info kirby. i guess i'll just remind them to double-check the coolant reservoir & check the radiator as a precaution. and, if they dont' find anything blatantly obvious, then i'll wait a while longer. thanks again for the help. :)

    Official New M3 pictures from Geneva Auto Show

    wow... absolutely beautiful work of art on the outside... but, wtf was bmw thinking with the nav consoles on the new 3? it destroys the line flow of the center dashboard, makes the dash overall higher & takes up a lot of otherwise driver view, and is basically like having this big lump in the...

    323i overheated - need help

    hmm... my '99 323i is going in for standard 90k mile service in a few months at my local service shop (non-dealer)... should i ask them to replace both the coolant reservoir and the radiator? i haven't had any issues yet. but how much would both of these cost? thanks

    when i shift around 2.5k to 3k, i can get around 325 to 330 miles per tank. when i shift around 4k to 5k i get around 300 even. i have 87k miles and am going on my 8th year of ownership. i love driving tho, so even in my daily commute i'm typically shifting at around 5k. :)

    I'm interested in picking up some front & rear sway bars for my 99 323i, and am wondering if anyone here has installed them and can provide some feedback as to how difficult the installation is and how you like them.
