Re: Oil Change DIYers suggestion

Just ordered one in anticipation of my next change in the spring. Noticed the internal hex was getting fubar last time I changed the oil!

Re: Besides Obioban, has anyone here honestly turned down the e9x m3 for ours?

Test drove one, thought it was a little bit Meh...for the $$$! It lacks soul. When I got back in my E46, it made me appreciate it all the more. For $70-80k new, the E9x definately not worth it to me....

Re: Avalon Motorsports in Denver CO

I think they are AUDI specific.

Try Bimmerhaus in Broomfield. Also SCR in Loveland.

What are you looking to get done?

Who soured you and why?

Re: E92 M3 test drive...I'll keep my E46 M3

There's a whole lot of E9x love here...I am just not feeling it. The E92 was faster, but I did not feel as connected or as much in control. Steering feel is very light and very un-BMW. Much prefer...

E92 M3 test drive...I'll keep my E46 M3

Not overly impressed. I mean it is a very nice car, great exhaust note. However, I prefer the wrap around cockpit feel of the E46 and the power felt similar. I am sure the E92 would shine at extended...

? Re Apex 18"x9.5 et25...rears in square use

For rear use to avoid spacers. 18x9.5 et35 front, 18x9.5 et22 rear

That way you can go with square rubber, not have to use spacers. Disadvantage is you lose rotation options.
