^It's a slippery slope with AutoX. I was in the same situation last year, I was disappointed in my A/S's (which I expected) and finally ponied up for good summer rubber, and now I'm on the hunt for...
Those look nasty. Theres no way they installed them by hand like you instructed. I'm seriously considering buy a set of harbor freight's coated impact sockets and giving it to my mechanic with the...
The annoying part is that I actually told them before I left them the car, be sure to only torque the lugs to 67 ft/lbs. I always remind them because I was worried they would do this. You can see how...
I just went through this with my local mechanic. Only worse, my wheel locks were just as tight and needed to be drilled out. Even worse still, this was on my almost new VMR VB3's. I'd bring it back...
If I were not in an E46, I would consider...
1.) E60 M5
2.) 996/7 Carrera
Realistically, I don't see myself parting with the E46. It's got too many miles to be worth anything and too much...
Just reading this now, glad your car kept you safe.
And I understand your frustration finding the right M3. It took me about 4-5 months to find mine. One of my good friends is currently on the...
I've got quite a few, but I'll limit them to these few so I don't seem anywhere near as crazy as I actually am...
1.) I never touch the paint or the window when closing the door, I only touch the...
I had an oil analysis done in october that didn't look too good. Otherwise there were no outward signs, no ticks or odd noises. The car ran as it should....
Drove my car in the freezing cold again today. I opted to let it sit all day yesterday when the wind chill brought the temp down to a toasty -26* F. Just replaced the rod bearings a few days ago so...
Rod Bearings? Kinda, they're certainly not fun. You have to drop the front subframe and then remove the oil pan and oil pump to gain access to the bottom of the engine. Then pray to god that you...
Getting close to 200k...

I got bored and decided to paint my winter wheels to hide the rash and oxidation from the PO's neglect. I went with plastidip's vintage gold and a few layers of glossifier overtop. Came out great......
Ordered some alcantara goodies from Cobywheel. My current leather wheel is well beyond shot. Can't wait!
That custom ZHP knob is pretty cool. Idk about the blue, but a perforated knob sounds sweet.
Oh boy, a leather re-wrap would be awesome.
I'll be headed home from school in a few hours and I'll finally get to drive my car again. It's been a little over a month since I've seen it let alone drive it. I plan to treat her real nice this...
Very nice zhpnsnv. Gotta love the 135i. I've been dying to drive one with the powerkit or JB4.
^In a word, Yes
Drove the ///M to work today...

Also spent the better part of my morning detailing my mom's SUV for her. This is what my clay...
^Thanks guys! I'm gonna leave them black for a bit and see how I like it, I applied the dip in heavy coats so it should peel off pretty easily if I chose to do so.
Blacked out my side grilles with some Plasti-dip today. I can't decide if I like the look 100%. But I'll rock it for the time being, that's the beauty of dip...

Sold, thanks guys...
Sale Pending
