i saw X3 this weekend and had a BLAST!! my suggestion is for people to ignore the critical reviews, forget the lofty expectations, and just go see it with an open mind, and you'll have a great time. just remember to stay til the VERY end- ie wait until after all the credits are done, because...

do u have fold down seats? if u do, u can fold down the rear seats, crawl in there and open the trunk w/ the emergency release. but, yah- sounds like could be either an alternator or battery issue. i'd start by checking the battery first. sorry this happened to u and hope u get it fixed soon.

hmm... i guess go thru the troubleshooting procedures. i'd start w/ replacing the bulbs. if that doesn't work, take the bulb housing apart and check the sockets and see if the contact points are melted, warped, or rusted out. if they are, then u probably have to replace the bulb socket(s)...

u sure that's not arnold in drag? LOL

did u buy ur car from a private party or a dealer? i think for check engine light warnings, which are a bit elusive sometimes, it's probably a good idea to take it to a service place or the dealer and have it looked at. they probably hook it up to a computer to get the diagnosis. depending...

what's the difference between a porsche and a porcupine? [idea]

Thanks again guys! $2.50 for a set of new bulbs and my console is free of that annoying alert once again. :)

mmm... i think they mean active traction control- ie DSC in bmw lingo? many auto magazines like to test the cars in different driving conditions- like auto-x, wet surface etc. and, more experienced drivers like to turn off traction control to control the car themselves. the lexus, from what...

brakes> the bmw also has a brake sensor cable that's designed to break when the pads get too low and the brake alert light comes on. u'll need to buy a replacement cable ($50 i think) if u do what i do and wait for the sensor to come on to let u know when it's "time." the brake alert light...

i did some research on this awhile back, because it happened to me too. what i found out is that the lens mechanism of most car cd-changers are not designed to last more than 5 or 6 years, depending on wear/ tear and how much u use it. the manufacturers design the part to break down so that u...

objectively, i don't think the is350's target demo is an exact match to the m3. the 350's probably more in the luxury realm of a high-end 330i or audi a4 i'd imagine, whereas the m3 is more for pure sports car enthusiasts wanting the best performance. and, that's probably why most of the...

for those w/ a sense of humor, or the lack thereof... [:D] [chair]

beautiful car... would love to get one if they weren't so expensive... :(

very true... hehehe. :)

an easy way to check is to press the DSC button on your console, because the LED that shows up would be the same icon. when traction control is OFF the icon stays on. when traction control is ON the icon only comes on automatically when it engages as u drive. if u confirm it's the brake...

yah, the thread got off topic... but, getting back on topic, i remember that a month or two ago Autoweek did a head-to-head evaluation of the new IS350 vs. the new 3. and, i think they said something to the extent of 'Lexus bringing a knife to a gunfight and still managing to shoot themselves...

will do my best to answer what i know: >>Service Engine Soon sign comes up when you turn ignition to level 1 then goes away after you start the car. What could it be? i think mine does this too and it's normal. but, i will double-check for you and report back. >>Washer fluid system not...

when my free 3 years was up, i went to the dealer and sat down w/ a service advisor to see what the extended warranty covered- to see if it was worth the money. and, surprisingly, she said that most of the stuff that i would be getting service on from that point on would probably not be covered...

look dude, i was just making a joke and having some fun with this discussion. but, obviously u take everything too personally and u want to pick an argument. but, in all fairness, "used" is just a lame excuse... if u want to be fair, u have to talk about a new car during it's PRIME era- ie...

aww... i really liked "MMM," only because it makes u stop and think about it for a sec. and, then u see the light bulb appear above ur head when u get it. it's witty.
