Not LED. The ones I have are LED AND R/C/R. Best price I've found when I was shopping last year:Quote:

Just make the selection for E46 Sedan 02-05 and Red/Clear/Red.
Those aren't R/C/R's; those are pre-facelift style.Quote:

Doesn't always have to be from outside right? :D
That's exactly how I drive. But my short legs are no where near that close to the steering wheel. Great picture!
Wow even an Imola Red water hose!Quote:

Meric you gotta watch that hand placement of yours! If someone decided to mash and kiss your car at speed, you'd kiss your fist on the backhand! That would hurt more than the airbag my Prairie Gangsta.
hahahahaha... I told him the same thing yesterday when he posted it on facebook.Quote:

JP,
That CSL is a beaut!
:like
JP - That photo is just awesome.
I posted it on my shop's Facebook page. I gave you credit - hope you don't mind!
No worries, that shop always has cool cars around.
I had been with out the ZHP for a little over a week until yesterday. The car had the classic 2-3k rattle so i left it at the dealer and took my Volvo back to school. The car came with a 60 day warranty so they replaced the VANOS unit for free :) Also got them to replace the thermostat and coolant sensor the first week I had the car. Really glad I got the car from a BMW dealer now!
Anyways my parents were nice enough to pick up the car and meet me halfway between home and school so I could get the ZHP back. We met at the pinnacles national park, went on a hike, and switched cars. Once you get off highway 101, its an awesome road and beautiful drive up to the park. Here are a few pics i took on the drive home. Just unedited iphone shots:

My dad was sad to give up my car. apparently he had a lot fun driving it around for a week after he picked it up for me.

beautiful, beautiful car. and i love those wheels. seriously considering them for my next set. i have a question though, i see they weigh quite a bit less. can you feel any difference in terms of responsiveness between the 71s and the 135s? i'm looking for a lightweight set and obviously would love to stay with an OE BMW rim if i like it enough...Quote:

ya no worries i know that the noise will probably come back soon and I'll have to do the rattle repair kit. I read through most of the VANOS threads on here. but since the dealer was doing it for free, why not give it a shot? it seemed like there's a chance the oem unit would do the trick for a while. plus, anytime the dealer will cover some sort of repair, i'm thrilled. just time and money I can put off spending.Quote:

I had ESM LM reps before, and when I switched them out from 135's the steering wheel felt more sensitive to the road, but I'm not sure if it was due to the higher offsets on the wheels, weight difference, or switching out the old worn tires (Michelin PS) with the new ones (Hankook Ventus v12). It's still a mistery for me.
Before switching to the Style 71's, I put in BC BR coilovers, UUC sways, and 12mm spacers so the steering feels very sensitive to the road, and I find myself holding the steering wheel a lot more than I used originally. I cant comment on the reason for the change since I have never had any prior experiences with any of the mods and don't know if that is the how the car responded to the mods or if I somehow screwed up at some point. But it could be due to terrible roads that I drive on, since the car feels great on flat/newer surface streets.
Sorry that I couldn't really answer the question. But your car looks great in the sig! Makes me glad that I haven't sold the 135's. I just need some new rubber to put on them and keep switching them out with the 71's for variety.
Summers just mounted! Got an alignment, oil change, power flex FCABs installed, and oil level sender replaced today!

I had something similar happen to me as well. Is the sensitivity to the road feel like tramlining?Quote:

I found out my car drove perfect on great roads; the ones recently refinished, and like shit on crappy roads. I have changed my habits and have learned to scan the road; as if I'm driving a bike, in order to avoid tramlining. In roads where the transport trucks generally travel, I've seen indentations on the road and there has been more than one occasion where it literally seems Casper grabs my wheel and aggressively turns it almost crashing into the median divider.
I also noticed that when turning a bit aggressively, my DSC would kick in. I played around with the tire pressures an adjusted it to 34/36 and that issue was fixed.
I might get a different experience when I replace the front tires.
On the back of my mind: I have received many compliments on my car and I was always asked if I have a drop on it. My answer is no, unless PO did one and my alignment is for stock height; negating old custom alignment. I assume the alignment shop should have seen the modifications if they exist.
Really nice pictures Rovert. They are 19's right?
Oui oui monsieur! C'est le dix neuf
Decided to take both bimmers out for a pic :)
