I have 20%, looks great. Looking for pictures, disappointed with BMW warranty.

First it was dealer cannot replicate, then oh yes, its there but its because of your "aftermarket" spark plugs (NGK plugs, same PN as stamped on the BMW plugs), wanted 450 to change the plugs, picked car up, swapped in stockers, tqed to spec in 20 minutes, took back to bmw, been there ever since.

They have had the car for 2 weeks now and have done:

Plugs
Coils
Harmonic Balancer
Air Filter (because my K&N is clearly the problem here)
Various "Diagnostics"
and now more retesting and datalogging.

Come on BMW, if the datalogs didn't tell you something the first time, they wont tell you this time. I can tell you that the dual masses on the flywheel seperated, or I lost a clutch hub spring, or a finger broke off the pressure plate, just get to fixing it, enough with this diagnostic bullshit.

On the plus side, I get a 2011 328i coupe with sport, premium, nav and paddle shifters to drive around in. Beggars can't be choosers. Would have preferred a Cooper S stripped down with a 6 speed and LSD

1. You have entered what is essentially a non-exclusive e-fraternity (in the worst possible sense) held together by the commonality of owning a bimmer.
2. All are welcome (except lying braggarts).
3. There will be car discussion amongst all the sophomoric attempts at humor, we promise.
4. There are some very knowledgeable people here if you have a question, please ask...at any given time there are 4-10 regular posters and someone will try to answer you seriously.
5. Your manhood, ethnicity, intelligence, sexuality, junk size WILL be made fun of. Do not be offended. Once that starts happening and you can respond in kind, you are one of us.
6. Always, always, always contact WSTO first for every potential purchase. If they don’t have it, they know where to get it.
7. Vasillov is a lying braggart.
8. If you look down your nose at us and the way we act the way Vasil did on 2/4/11 you are free to leave. No one is forcing you to participate. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Mike is my SA, he's doing a great job, I just wish district rep would approve the work that the techs get paid for.

35 is perfect on a black car too, looks darker from the outside but still good on the inside to see at night for an old man like you

Ricer X · 03-07-2011, 08:49 PM

LOL, my car is there right now too....
