Another good one is Larchmere Imports.

Thanks, will they do DPs?

There are some local shop can do other things, I wish I could do it myself, I don't have garage and school day is not fun to me, don't have that much time to do it.

No, we didn't have much interest in going, besides the wife is down with the flu, although she really likes going to the casino, especially the ones that take real money.

Ahh, that sucks. Hope she feels better soon. Yes, I've been a member for 3 years now. Sadly, I've only participated in two events so far. That place they are doing casino night looks pretty sweet though, so I may go.

My e90 occassionally won't start...after inserting the key and pressing the push start, the ignition just turn on with every thing working but the car won't just start and the brake becomes very firm than before.....when the car stays idle for about 45mins, it will then start.....PLS HELP!

SpeedBuggy · 02-03-2012, 08:06 PM

with this "warm weather", almost makes me wish I could take the winter tires off and put on the summers on. Which makes me wonder, any word on Cleveland Cars and Coffee? Didn't get a chance to make any last year. Hope to this year.

Anyone know how to code in Cincy or surrounding areas?

JaSSon · 02-09-2012, 06:08 PM

I hit a Racoon. Any body shop recommendations? I'm on the east side on Columbus.

SpeedBuggy · 02-09-2012, 06:36 PM

Sorry to hear, although with this warmer weather it could have been worse, might have been a skunk. I live in a rural area and the road kill made up of racoons and skunks is getting pretty bad already.

Any recommendation from your local BMW Dealership?

spkcadet · 02-10-2012, 08:24 AM

Hey all, long time no talk. They blocked these forums at work so I had to run out to my car to reply to this. I suggest Vic's bodyshop to do the work on your car. Some idiot hit my cavalier and I took it there. They did a fantastic job fixing her up. Highly suggest going there.

I'll give them a call and see. Only talked with Allstate so far. Comp claim FTW! It was definitely not a skunk. It could possibly have been an o'possum, but pretty sure it was a racoon.

Anyone got a a roof rack for sale? Or any recommendation on a cheaper alternative to OEM roof racks? Will probably use it only once anyways. Getting ready to move...

Honestly I don't know at this moment. I'm looking for jobs all over the place. I would have to move within 2-3 weeks of securing a job. It could be as close as Pennsylvania or as far as Cali or Texas. My main focus is the west coast though. I'm thinking of getting rid of the furniture and taking only the essentials in the car. A cargo box may come in handy..

Marcumac · 02-12-2012, 11:42 PM

Max I have a Thule Aero rack, has all of the proper attachments as well as the fairing, never used but had it mounted for a few months, it's clean and sitting in my garage. Wasn't planning on selling it...but for the right price I might.

Hey guys,

Anyone know a Cleveland-area (preferably SE Cleveland/Twinsburg) clutch shop where they can refurface the DM flywheel in-house? My clutch is slipping real bad and I'm putting in an ACT Street organic and a UUC evo3 short shift kit, but I wanted to get the flywheel resurfaced when they put the new clutch in.

So far I'm looking at Suburban Car & Truck Repair on South Miles Road, which seems to have great reviews

Thanks,

J

You should not have to resurface it unless you make it blue with heat cracks. Just behave with it until you do the clutch. Also, be aware that the ACT will have lower pedal engagement. I know a couple people that have had warranty clutch replacements at around 30k plus miles on the 335 without touching the flywheel. Make sure you order a new pilot and throw out bearing. The throw out bearing I think comes with the shift fork kit.
I would go with the HPF feramic clutch myself. Not sure if the HPF needs a new FW or resurface.
