The only things I have are 18" 328 sport package 197s with TPMS (which i will gladly sell to you), and a BMW Performance SSK and knob, which I am purposely keeping for my new ride. Let me know if you want the 197s and TPMS for a very reasonable price.

Jeez i don't feel like driving all the way to Lamborghini of Houston in the morning. I'll go in April when the location is more central.

This.

Vigorous · 03-03-2011, 03:35 PM

I did it and it's seriously EASY. You should not have any trouble. $20 for 10mins of work. I might have a new career.

nebbie · 03-03-2011, 04:25 PM

Yeah I just got the jb4 in today so I guess I'll give it a try later.

Litos · 03-03-2011, 06:47 PM

JB4 feels good - just use Map 1.

that's the safest and least aggressive tune for your car. Map 5 is still going through some tweeks, but when it's done, be sure to plug in and get the updates.

#%(*&!@#*

got a massive rock chip that spidered out overnight! time for a new windshield...

going straight to Safelite and they said it might actually cost less than my $500 deductible

mcanderson0 · 03-07-2011, 08:36 AM

Be careful with Safelite! I got a new side window for my ex's civic (for an awesome price), and the glass was rippled and wavey. If you look through the spot tha was rippled, you couldnt see out of it well at all. I am guessing that sometimes they use cheap glass. This was my experience, so just be sure to ask some questions before they come out to fix your car.

Damn that's a nice price.

I paid $330 for mine about 1 year go, Safelite sent the installer to my house at NOLA, done ~2 hours. I have no problem with them.

scott@bmwhn · 03-08-2011, 05:05 PM

Safelite did a great job on mine. Always check the windshield before they install it though.

joehoang · 03-10-2011, 09:29 AM

Do any of you guys know a good place that would do my vinyl for the shadowline trim? I don't wanna pay an arm and leg lol. I tried doing it myself and it came out bad
