Re: So it's been a while...

So I changed my mind on wheels...wife is going halfsies on a set of Beyern Multi Silver 25 spokes. They resemble the Alpina wheels which I love.
She is also ordering the trunk lip and roof lip spoilers and springs for me for Christmas.

Here is a recent pic...

Re: So it's been a while...

Yeah...was thinking of that. Will probably stick with em for that.

It's the ECU/Programmer I am worried about because the CPO warranty states that any electronic devices used to modify the engine management could void the warranty. And I wanted to do all the performance mods at once.
I may check ...

Re: So it's been a while...

Well...good news/bad news...looks like the only mods are going to be cosmetic...at least until July 19th, 2015.
Seems that the CPO warranty was transferred to me and is good until July 19th, 2015 or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
The PO also had the BMW Presence Plus plan which was ...

Inappropriate relations with a football...military saying, "You look like a monkey effin' a football!" meaning you can't seem to do anything in a correct manner.

Re: So it's been a while...

Really wish I could get away with 5% all the way around but the $278 tickets add up fast and the "DOT Medical Exemption" only allows to 35% on the front 2.

Noticed last night that the pads were down to the wear indicators so I have already ordered up a set of pads on the suggestion of some local ...

Re: So it's been a while...

Plans for the Bimmer:

So far, I have tinted the windows. 35% driver and passenger with the rear "3" 5%.
I have ordered the DTec V7 H8 64w LED setup for the Angel Eyes...and an amber H8 HID setup from Theretrofitsource.com for the fogs.

I still need to take pics of it with the windows tinted ...

Re: So it's been a while...

The G8 will always be on my short list but I *really* wanted AWD.

I also found a 2007 Cadillac STS-V with under 40k miles for just over $30k that I REALLLLLLLLLLY wanted but the wife put a stop to that when she found out that it was for sale in her ex-husband's current town of residence. LOL.

So it's been a while...

And I still have my Acura. Mods have been fairly light so far but I installed a CAI, a set of Tein Green 1.5" lowering springs at all 4 corners and have added a rear roof spoiler and trunk lip spoiler. I have grand plans to supercharge it and do a full exhaust from "headers" (The TL's headers aren't ...

Re: 2001 SSEi driver personalization & new keyless/remote st

I have an Auto Page system in my TL and it keeps the personalization...the second remote even activates the second memory settings. That being said, I know the shop who did it for the previous owner and when I asked them about it, they said that the integration was not seemless.

As for range, my ...

What Andrew meant when he posted his last is that he already started parting it out. Hehe. I bought the drivers rear rocker moulding when I went up there saturday to pick up some other stuff.

Re: my used car...

Agree with Willren 100% but I extend that to the vast majority of modern transmissions.
Every single car I have purchased in the last 15 or so years has had the trans flushed within the first month of ownership and I have yet to have a single transmission issue related to fluid.

Transmission woes...

(Not mine)

My brother, who is an accomplished mechanic said that today when he was backing out of his driveway, he put his 2000 SSEi into reverse and heard a clunk but he backed out just fine. Once he was in the road, he put the car in drive and it had virtually no first gear at all. He is pretty ...

The wheels are 18inch Menzari Infernos. I wish I had gotten 20s instead...with the correct size tire, they would fill the wheel well a lot better.
