Thanks for the suggestions Tim. Ended up at Lucia. Pretty good, maybe 6.5-7/10.

nice pictures

Derek Zoolander · 02-26-2010, 11:34 AM

Anyone going skiing this weekend? VT got 40-50" this past week.

Patsfan123 · 03-06-2010, 03:14 PM

Power steering on my car feels like its failing today. The lower the speed, the harder it is to turn and it almost feels like it was sticking. I took my dad's 07 e90 out for a spin and his was fine, so its not just in my head. Also I noticed that his car doesn't jerk like mine when it shifts and power delivery is much smoother overall..

WTF, I am not happy with my car at this point.. I am rethinking how long I am going to keep this car now. It's only been a year since I bought CPO.

Hang in there yo. How many miles? Take it to the dealer and see what they have to say.

Patsfan123 · 03-07-2010, 04:30 PM

38k, I am going to take it into the dealer soon. Just frustrating at all this. Today, I also noticed my washer fluid tank is leaking.. It leaks out by the passenger side door.

At townfair tires swapping my winter setup for my 19's...let's hope there's no more snow!

Derek Zoolander · 03-09-2010, 02:18 PM

Jumping the gun too soon, Tim!! haha
I'm waiting til mid-April to put my 194Ms back on probably, or until I pick up a summer setup; whichever comes first lol

ibeclueless · 03-09-2010, 03:20 PM

You are changing your wheels early, I am tempted to do the same due this nice weather we are having.

bold move Tim. I'm wanting to but still waiting. Maybe next week? After all we do change the clocks this weekend so it will be nice and light out later.

JeffL · 03-09-2010, 04:23 PM

did to Eibach springs for a little drop though. excuse the sh!tty sport line 18's and snow tires.

TL · 03-09-2010, 10:46 PM

Haha....i just couldn't wait

Derek Zoolander · 03-10-2010, 01:13 AM

So clean dude!

ibeclueless · 03-10-2010, 07:45 AM

looks really good

JeffL · 03-10-2010, 08:40 AM

yeah looks killer Tim. I've still yet to wash mine this winter.

Derek Zoolander · 03-10-2010, 09:22 AM

I am not looking forward to Spring cleaning. oye, why did I buy black..

Anyone know a good paint guy? I might want my hood resprayed.

cyphr · 03-10-2010, 02:51 PM

Might be a bit of a trek for you but I've been using Sansossio for a while now.

Derek Zoolander · 03-12-2010, 12:43 PM

Just purchased wheels. Should be interesting if I can make them work

MassBimmer · 03-12-2010, 12:45 PM

Tim, I love your car, it looks sooo clean..

Derek, did you buy the wheels that you had shown us about a month ago??

Derek Zoolander · 03-12-2010, 12:51 PM

Nope. I got sick of shopping around and people playing games.
I'm not even sure if I can make these work, but if I do, I think they'll look awesome. Got a great deal on them.
I'm going to have custom adapters made, so worst case scenario, I can sell the wheels at cost, and I'm out ~$300 for the adapters. Tires will come last after a successful wheel/adapter test fitting.

MassBimmer · 03-12-2010, 01:06 PM

Nice, can't wait to see what you picked out..
