Nice pics Parker - looks like a fun trip!

Ruff Rider · 06-04-2008, 09:39 AM

Fantastic job on the brake calipers Justin. I really like how it looks.

Park2670 · 06-04-2008, 11:33 AM

It really was a lot of fun. I'm excited to go back again, the humidity killed me, but seeing Sara enjoy her horses again meant everything to me

I'm sad you guys don't talk anymore!

Keep this thread alive!

Rain and cold make me depressed and being depressed makes me quiet. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Actually, I do have a question for the all-knowing BOM man:

As we're getting closer to hot, sunny summer days, I'm in need of one of those sunshades for my windshield. Are the BMW ones specifically sized for each series and durable enough to last a few years? If so, does the BOM parts department happen to have the 3-series ones in stock?

IM not sure about the windshield sunshades. I just have some one hold an umbrella over my windshield.

Lol - sweet! Shouldn't that have come with the premium package, or is that a dealer-installed option?

It's an after market option. It's what the step kids are good for

Ahhh, that explains it!

I suspect the sunshade might be a little more cost-efficient though.

They get two cookies a day as pay. It was one but they were going to go on strike so I gave in and now they get two cookies a day.

I had a BMW sunshade for my Maxima, and then got one for my 3. Fits perfectly, and considerably drops the temps inside the car. Of course tint also greatly lowers temperatures as well.

SLCGoonski · 06-05-2008, 10:46 PM

i would suppose being tinted all the way around helps...

I didnt take anything out, just unplugged. You just need to plug it back in.

Wow. Good work Adam.

SLCGoonski · 06-06-2008, 01:08 PM

thought you were talking about the vanos or something with the plug pulled. I can plug it back in fine, but thought you spoke of a dummy plug...fixed vanos? and kept the flap open. Maybe i was high on diet coke
