    325i vs IS300

    i meant that as a joke, but i guess a lot of people here don't have much of a sense of humor... <LOL> anyways, i'm sorry if i offended your dream car. 1990 was 15 years ago.

    325i vs IS300

    a friend of mine has one which he bought years ago and he paid around $95k for it. i haven't been keeping tabs on nsx pricing, since i don't really like that car all that much... it drives like a honda accord. <LOL>

    history of my car

    nice job and nice car... just to give u a hard time, u might's well change the 318i emblem on the back to an m3, since it's pretty clear that that's really the car that u wanted. <LOL>

    Failed Tail Lights Warning

    Thanks Andre, that was it! I can't believe I didn't think of that bulb. <LOL> Do you happen to remember the bulb type? If not, no biggie. (The manual says a 5w bulb, but it doesn't give the size/ type.) No biggie tho- I can take it off and then bring the burned out ones to the part store...

    stereo pros please step in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    all i'm saying is i like the HK for what it is. i haven't spend add'l money w/ aftermarket audio enhancements, because to me the HK has been great and i haven't felt a need to upgrade it. i'm sure if u spend more time and more money there is always something better out there.

    325i vs IS300

    true. well, i guess i have the bad habbit of looking at both the type of car and the price together- only because, to me, that seems more fair. (the is, 325, s2, and wrx all fall in the 33k to 40k range, whereas the nsx is well over 100k.) but, yah, they are not the same class cars in the...

    stereo pros please step in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this isn't the first time i've heard people blast the hk system in the 3-series. but, honestly i don't quite understand it. i've listened to a lot of different sound systems. and, being a musician for many years, i'd say i have pretty good ears- working in recording studios and mixing music...

    Failed Tail Lights Warning

    Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem with their 323i (1999) tail light warnings mis-reporting a malfunction. About a month ago the dashboard warning for failed tail lights came on when I started my car. I had a friend go behind and look...
