Dat OB on NB :drool
Pull that spark plug out and see what it looks like. Could be a coil going bad.
You found fronts, Shawn??

The coupe seats I bought. While back. Not installed yet. Need to do the dash (which scars the heck out of me) and the carpet.Quote:

Nice werk. How do you like the BSW's?

Colin says it's a definite improvement, but not very drastic--Just a bit better than old stock speakers. He still has a bit of a rattle at high volume that we need to isolate.Quote:

Colin had a bad tire (drove on it with very low psi) and had to order new ones. He went with two rears --DWS 06 in 245/35/18.

Nice. What is on the front ?
I did that before, they call it the ring of death lol. How much did the 2 rears cost out of curiosity. I went 255/35/18, why did he go 245?
He's still running the normal size up front (225?).Quote:

Ok.
If this isn't a good idea. Plz let me know ASAP.

No idea, I was just curious.Quote:

Basically the tire sizes are pretty identical. But there is a slight difference between the 255 vs 245 width.
Personally I would have stuck with the factory sizing even if the zhp does not need a 255 section width in the rear. It is just the sidewall is going to be smaller on the 245/35/18 and a slight speed difference.
Thanks team. Bruce and Dane both confirmed this also.Quote:

So did you keep them or change the order?Quote:

Looks good.Quote:

Plus we go through tires so fast you can always switch back if it's worth more to stay stock stay worry free...but I'm curious what he thinks after some driving time.

Agreed. And I'll ask him.Quote:

No I don't think anythings wrong except all the front end parts.

Curious to know how much damage is calculated. Keep us updated
Stopped by today and talked to the two USAA guys. One likes BMWs a lot and was sorry to say he's pretty sure this one is a goner. They had not seen it but I had it pulled around so I could return the spare tire I borrowed over the weekend... he looked at the engine bay and asked about the headlights...figured $1200/each. cross member is bent above radiator. Wan is shoved back--he said you never know when an impeller or other internal parts are damaged (until they come apart after the car has been repaired)... I broke the news to Colin that it was not looking too promising. He's really not sure what he wants to replace it with. He's thinking about a beater that will just get him back and forth to work until he can get what he really wants (New-ish 4-runner?).
Sad to hear. Colin doesn't want to try and get back into an E46?
Not sure William, we are looking...he did love the car and has no idea what else he might like.
USAA called, total loss and payout is $8570 with taxes included. I'll speak to the Total Loss department tomorrow and provide some "comps" on what the car is really worth...
Sorry to hear. It was a nice car.
Just PMed you with my payout experience from GEICO when I had an unexpected meeting with an antelope at speed in my 2003 330Ci in July of 2014.Quote:

Shawn, buy it back and sell it to Bruce's friend.
May do that. Depends on the offer Usaa gives me and if John is still interested.Quote:
