Thanks for the info. I'm looking at getting these rims. 18.0 front and 18.9 rear. Offset is 35.

That setup is staggered. Ooops you beat me to it.

How does everyone have their HK sound system set up? (Treble,Bass,ect.)

Treble near max, Bass: 2 or 3 notches above flat.

I'm going to test drive a 2004 330i (non-ZHP) and worry if the dealer has reset the SES or other warning lights. In some place I read the SES comes back after 50 miles of driving. Is that correct ? Also, I wonder if asking Auto Zone to check for stored codes could be useful.

Any thoughts ?

Checking for stored codes is a great idea; not sure if the scanner includes when those codes were thrown, but having an idea of what has popped up before is helpful. As for an SES coming back, I don’t think that there is a set mileage, the light should just reappear if/when the same error condition reoccurs.

I don't know if it's a hard coded number, but there is a decent amount of miles for the computer to reset or something like that. I've heard anything between 50-100 miles.

If you have access a BMW DX computer can view old codes. Indy or dealer can do that.

Usually if the codes are reset, the OBDII readiness codes are no longer ready. That's also a good way to tell.

How would one get the readiness codes back in check? I don't have codes but my car shows not ready when hooked up to my scanner
