I'm at 59k miles so I asked to do the trans fluid/filter/pan, brake fluid, coolant, and both diffs.

If anyone is looking for a mechanic, I would definitely recommend Larin. Really nice guys, clean shop, and they were really committed to helping me get my ride quality back.

Nice, I will be visiting RIMPro in Tweksbury this month as well. it isn't too far from my work in Andover. Is it still $120 a wheel including remount?

How long until you offer us a new intakes for our stock frames? The market is screaming for them...

18" is $125. Does not include dismount/remount.

Should have something ready to test in the next 3 weeks. My M4 is stuck on the lift until we get the latest downpipes fitted and we then have to work on the catback. I can try to get the catback/inlets done at the same time once the coolant tank arrives.

Awesome.

I need more displacement in my life, oh and money.

talk him down 2k or don't, most people will take 2k less if you offer them cash in hand today. fly down a buy a salt free m3 and drive it back that weekend. Add a used SC which go for 4k or so. 600whp m3 on 93 for under 30k. Ultimate track/DD beast if you don't mind a DCT.

Honestly makes me consider selling the beater and E92 and picking it up. The N54 is awesome but on 93 the displacement and revs kind of limit the N54 imo...

Hey guys,
I just got myself a 2012 BMW 335i. Checking in from Boston!

Looking forward to being part of the BMW family.

Thank you! I really enjoyed snow blowing the path from the street to the propane tank so they can come fill it up...

At least you could use a snowblower

My tank is in the back yard, with an elevation drop so I had to manually clear one.....a good 30 feet

Such a beautiful scene! Snowblower shear pin snapped yesterday, so getting into the driveway required a bit more, uh... finesse? than usual.

Its not every sport wagon that can climb over a foot of snow

I want an E91 for my collection. How is it in the snow? Any complaints overall?

None. This is the best car I've ever owned, and i've been through a lot... audis, toyotas, nissans, fords, chevys, a subaru, a saab...

Okay, one: The front bumper cracked too easily when i was parallel parking in the too-small spot across from my house on friday... apparently once the snow turns to a solid block of ice, it doesn't bend to my wishes quite the same way.

The only thing I wish it could do is pull my motorcycle trailer...

the traction control with the x-drive is extremely effective. i find it a little too aggressive when the roads are like this, so i just push a button, and it does *exactly* what i want.

Yeah, my e91 isn't quite a beautiful as the coupe or the z4, but it's perfect for me.

Had a discussion with 3 guys at work this morning, all have the same problem. Mine has never broken, so I'm ordering some to have at the ready. I always keep an extra set of belts which came in handy yesterday when the auger started to lose it's power.

The x-drive system is pretty impressive. It really won't let you get into trouble as long as your sensible. And one push of the DTC button gives you just enough freedom to have some fun in certain situations.

vilord · 02-10-2015, 12:26 PM

the home depot parking lot near me was resurfaced last summer, so is wonderfully smooth.

step 1: hold down the dtc button until traction control is disabled completely
step 2: drive around the parking lot sideways

wheeeeeee
