lol yeah life seemed easier back then, I agree. Funny thing is, we really don't spend that much time together. Work has kinda taken us over. PT job is going really well, and it is very hard not to work cuz the money is good. Have been doing a lot of work to the house and since I am not a "handy man," I have had to hire everyone to do it. Landscaping, blinds, amazing how much that shit cost

That would be fun. I put in for some more dates through sept so I should know in the next couple of days what is going on. Then we can figure some things out.

hows the car BTW? still lovin the tune?

J BONE · 07-01-2009, 09:52 PM

Yeah, the tune is amazing! I can't imagine driving stock again. The back end whips out when I accelerate fast. Must be crazy with RWD cuz even with the AWD, the thing busts loose

my ass he does... and if he really does, he hasn't seen my hood up close.

Yeah the fuel pump is on the 335's only Seth. I had one replaced already. Seems like a good percentage of 335 owners have had these fail. It seems like the newer generation of fuel pumps (spring '08 or newer) have been doing a little better.

Well, the '09s are dropping like flies now too.... Some people even have a "refurb" part number on their work summaries, so I think BMW is just rebuilding the pump with what they thought were better materials, but in reality, it has a serious design flaw. The next gen pumps are electrically driven (as opposed to mechanically), so I'd imagine this is what BMW did to combat the failure rate. But for now, we just get our pumps replaced every time they break for free up until 10yrs/120k.

Seth, those are LCI headlamps, correct? I had been pondering something similar and was wondering how involved the modifications to the electrical system would have to be. I can do it all, but was just wondering what I would be up against. I know that the DRL are the angel eyes now, which shouldn't be difficult, but the signal bulbs look like LED's now (or maybe I'm high?)....

These LCI's are really growing on me. For the first time yesterday, I walked out to my car after work and didn't throw up in my mouth after looking at it. Too bad I have to pick mine back up today.
