Dane, I get Chuck Norris approved for nighttime car grooming? Yes!
Matt and Jeff, great to meet you both. Thanks for finding me, as it happens, to make introductions. I really appreciate that. I thought it was a great show of BMW force, and a perfect Portland...
My son and I will see you guys there. Not sure when we'll get there, but I'll track you down to say hello and introduce myself. Should be a great time. I really wanted to get a coat of wax on, but...
Oh, I did a poor job describing the action of the pulleys -- it's as you described them. Sorry for being unclear. They are acting as good, recently replaced by me pulleys should! (I replaced the...

If only I knew what FSR and CPS stood for! Guys, I'm so lame for being so slow to get back with the resolution on this. I researched like heck and watched a few YouTube videos, per your...
Guys, thanks again for the additional replies and help! So appreciated. It's got 69,000 miles. Youtube, I'm there -- thanks!
This is weird because I've been working on cars since I could drive,...
All good stuff -- thanks much for taking the time to share your advice. I'll be trying all you recommend. Time to get the coveralls out and work gloves on.
The car was whisper quiet this...
Spencers, thanks much. Pulleys and belt from my local parts store -- not OEM. I held the old belt up against the new one to make sure it was the same length. Do you strongly recommend OEM belt? ...
Nice, thanks TRELO -- I gave each the pulleys a cursory quick spin after I pulled the belt out and all spun fine -- didn't detect binding or grinding. Will check better once I'm home, though. But...
Hey gang. My alternator drive belt broke this morning, thankfully just a few blocks from home while I was on my way to work. I was able to drive back home with no power steering, just on battery...
FWIW, I also have the Yokohama Avid ENVigors. And price and treadwear were up there for me too. I've had them on for about 18K now, and I'm very happy with the ride and handling and the are wearing...
Welcome, welcome. Waiting patiently for you to show it off via some pictures, sketches, CAD drawings, you know, something visual! This site is awesome, as you've already figured out, I'm sure.
Welcome, and happy hunting. It's true -- these cars require vigilant attention and maintenance, but they are well worth the extra time and trouble (and money) you'll spend on them. Or so I say after...
Welcome!
Welcome -- some of my best friends are EEs! Happy hunting!
Welcome! Love your car -- you'll love it too, and more every day you drive it. Be vigilant with maintaining it, and it'll treat you nice in return. I'm pretty new too, and it's great to have you...
Welcome globe999! Your AW ZHP is mezmerizing -- love everything about it. Very tastefully done. I've never seen an AW ZHP in person -- but your excellent photo is surely the next best thing. This...
We're still up in the air ourselves, trying to shuffle stuff around. It's not looking good ...
Marc and others -- thanks for the additional welcomes. Very appreciated! And it's a good reminder for me to do a better job welcoming others who are new to the site. Must ... be ... good ... site...
Hey, alright! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing you there Cadeez. Outstanding!
My wife are going to try to make that event, maybe just go for part of the day, but we've got big plans...
Very cool -- thanks for posting this, Cadeez.
Good morning -- I found that a little goes a long way. I sprayed one of my lint-free towels with the cleaner rather than the surface I wanted to clean and then lightly scrubbed, rubbed or swiped,...
Clean freak chiming in -- one Christmas my wife gifted me the BMW Natural Care Interior Cleaner, that Washburn gives the link to above, and some other car care goodies. It is an excellent product! ...
