It's fine. it rattles with the AC on which is to be expected. I should be switching to MHD tonight and I will raise my idle which everyone says fixes it 100%. Other than that I DD the car if the weather is good and it's fine. No issue in traffic etc. If you stock clutch fails the spec 3+ + smfw is the best solution imo. I have heard to many horror stories about the twin plate.

Finally pulled the trigger on the DEPO LCI Tail lights from a very reputable eBay seller for 450. Spending money isn't the problem, as I love to help our local, national and international economies, it's not making enough money that is the issue!

Had a WRX before this. And with all the problems I had with my 335i it was a smarter move to get out now before I owed more than what the cars worth in a few years.

I went to Tim Hortons drive-through for a coffee today. While ordering a coffee into the speakerphone stand, I saw an elderly man falling down 5 feet from my car. Since he was alone, I went out of my car and helped him to get up and provided assistance to him to get inside Tim Hortons. He was ok, in good mental health (as far as I can tell) not hurt, just clumsy. Took 2-3min max I think. Came back to my car, already lineup of cars behind me, but everyone saw what I was doing so they were patiently waiting and not honking. I press the pedal, push button to start the car - nothing happens. I push pedal press button for many many times - still nothing. At this point I became slightly worried. I'm trying to get keyfob out of slot - it won't budge. I tried to push it in - there's no click sound, it's stuck, but I can't start the car. I hear first honks behind me. I'm getting really worried. I get out of car and run to open the hood to get battery terminals off to reset possible glitch and hoping that this will help reset keyfob relay holding it in slot. I quickly realize battery is in the trunk, duh brain freeze. I run to the trunk and frantically am trying to loosen 10mm bolt on negative battery terminal. I don't have any tools with me. I run back to the line of cars behind me and start asking drivers if they have 10mm socket. Finally on my 3rd car I got lucky and one driver lends me 10mm ratchet and goes with me as he is curious what is the issue holding already 10-12 cars behind me. I quickly pull negative terminal off the battery and after 10sec or so waiting I put it back in hope that this fixed the glitch. Constantly chatting voice from ordering stand of Tim Hortons starts to ask me to move on and what is the problem. I'm trying to explain briefly situation to the girl who takes orders and she says she will call her boss to see if they can help me somehow. Simultaneously I'm trying to start the car again - still nothing. Keyfob is still stuck in the slot. In my mind i already think about tow-truck and $$$ that I'm going to pay for towing, diagnostics, complete ignition/keyfob slot removal, installing new unit, keyfob reprogramming - my mind starts to panic. I'm desperately trying to find a solution. I am thinking of pushing the car through drive-through, but the buidling wall is close to drivers door and I can't steer and push a tteh same time and in addition keep the door wide open to jump in and break when need be - I need someone to steer the wheel while I push or someone to push while I steer, but a slight slope and absence of any young drivers to help push my bmw, mostly retired folks that are getting very impatient and annoyed by all this situation - makes this idea useless. Some of drivers in the middle of lineup can't get out now - they are stuck with me and have to wait until this situation resolves somehow. At this point I'm all soaked wet from stress and silliness of situation. I'm waiting for a manager of Tim Hortons to come. I sit in my seat and experience an episode of complete apathy and surrender. Suddenly with the corner of my eye I notice something is wrong, something is off in the cabin - automatic transmission is way to low - it's in D mode! Damn! I'm an idiot! I put it into P and start the car with no problem. Needles to say I skipped my order and rushed out of there after saying sorry to people around me. It's going to be awhile now until I come back to that Tim Hortons. I've never thought such things can happen to me...
