Re: Garmin GPS Haha, was at Perfect Watch this afternoon, and yes, the Garmin is great. The pricing is slightly less if you don't want the enhanced maps of Malaysia when it comes out. and CBS -- what were you doing at 3am? :)

Re: E46 Sedan Steel Gray FL Parts for Sale ; ) Hi 55, as SMS'ed, pls reserve the M cube interior trim for me! Will see you on Monday. Thanks.

Re: want to change m3 steering wheel Free bump for the excellent price!

Re: Cruise Control, Do Not On When Driving In The Rain /edited: okay, so apparently this "tale" has been making it's rounds since 2002. http://www.snopes.com/autos/techno/wetroad.asp The best response I've seen so far is...

Re: Euro plates..... The font must also be some old British Standard... the new Euro fonts not approved. Got letter from LTA... $70 poorer.

Re: Euro plates..... $70 fine. Not worth it.

Re: Technical problem that cannot be detected by PML Plastic sound, like plastic grinding against plastic, inside the car, feel like it's from the steering wheel --> airbag slip ring. Plastic rattling sound, sometimes sound metallic --> indicator control ring. Basically, there is some...

Re: Taste of IS250 The rear is VERY CRAMPED. Front okay, but make sure you sit in the rear. Rear light cluster a little too fussy. Nice leather seats though.

Re: ABS Indicator Okay -- edit: if traction control (ASC/DSC) kicks in, then the triangle symbol should light up. Not sure about ABS though.

Re: Leather Squeaking 1. Adjust the seat height, so that it doesn't rub against the leather side. 2. Put liberal amounts of BMW leather lotion on the seat, it will reduce the squeaking. 3. Put 3M felt tape on the side of the buckle, so that it reduces squeaking. 4. While you're at it, put...

Re: Thanks for the warm welcome, Ryan! Between 523i and GS300, I'd go for the GS300, more complete package. Between GS300 and 525i, then the 525i wins, but only if you can live with the looks. But all of them are wonderful cars, glad you're in the position to choose! :)

Re: Arrival of E90 323..... Considering the previous M54B22 can do 210Nm@3500rpm. The N52 (R6) B25 in the 325i can do 250Nm@2750rpm. What kinda tuning is that?? I agree with Ryan... the retail pricing needs to be adjusted... BTW -- so, do we call the 323i's engine N52 B23 or N52...

Re: Arrival of E90 323..... I'm really hoping that the torque figures from the detuned 2.5L block is going to be impressive, coz the bhp is pretty disappointing. Even the previous M54 B22 could get 170bhp from 2.2L!

Re: Arrival of E90 323..... At 148k for the 323i (with the base specs), I'll seriously take a close look at the IS250.

Re: Mtech kits, better aerodynamics than OEM? :) Always thought the big black plastic cover is to prevent oil from dripping onto the carpark floor! Thought BMW was so considerate...

Re: new number plate vs old number plate E series worth more, since they are older. But also consider the last letter (checkdigit), some people don't like 'X' among other letters... S-series (SB, SC... SW, SY) worth even more, due to rarity.

Re: Who got their decals already? (Feb 2006) Thanks Ryan, got mine, already did a carpet bombing of those cars around my office and home.... making sure they were not already members...

Re: my E46 Post what you have for sale, and see the responses coming in! :)

Re: Service Interval vs Oil Change I'd change the oil and filter in between the OIL SERVICE/INSPECTION intervals, usually once every 10k to 12k km. Suck or drain? Don't matter as long as the filter is being changed as well...

Re: my E46 Depends on what you want to get next. Scrap - yes, can sell of your accessories, they just need a stock car. Car body price affected by maybe 1-2k because of the respray, but no biggie. Try searching on the forum to get a feel of the prices for the accessories. Do your sums...
