I have DIS GTI v44 and v57 SSS in English and you can have it if you want. Nowadays I'm using ISTA. As for NCS expert, you can use NCS Dummy which will make life with NCS Expert so much, much easier.

Thank you for your generous offer and sound advice. I have the software you offer enroute from Germany and should arrive by Fridaqy., If it is not in English, I will certainly tqake you up on your offer. I had not heard of ISTA before you mentioned that software earlier. Thanks so much. You have been a great help.

20' BMW OEM Wheels 5x120 Staggered 20x10.5 & 20x9.5

Saw this on craiglist x5 20" wheels style 87 staggered for $400 all four wheels. Looks like factory wheels but you can never know for sure.

Those are real! AND A STEAL. Put some new center caps in, and a good pressure-washing!

I bought mine for $900 in Everett and thought that was a steal. This sounds too good to be true but ...... I guess I'm in denial

First time posting here, just picked up a '03 3.0 a month ago.

Bought the wheels from this ad today, feel like I got a pretty good deal! There is a bit of curb rash on a couple of them though, any recommendations on a Seattle area shop to repair them?

I'm pretty sure you helped out with my 4.6 swap into the wagon so the offer of a free beer stands. Enjoy the traffic!

Sweet! But wait.. Just one? Kidding.

I would love a ride though. I've always liked a wagon with balls. While I've driven here, the X is spending most of the time in a garage sucking down un-freakin-believable daily parking rates. I've got ab a 1/2 mile walk to and from my hotel to the customer. Great weather for it even if walking isn't one of my 'go to' activities.

My sister lives in Gig Harbor. I've yet to visit her there. It will be our jumping off point to all vacation destinations next Monday. I dunno if that's any closer to the beast with balls you're driving, but if so, that's a win.

And believe me- if there is one thing I like more than a beer... it's a Bimmer that's been tuned to the heart of an enthusiast. Bring the car. Maybe I buy *you* the beer!

Silver 01 3.0 checking in.
I'm down in the south end (Kent, FW, Auburn...)

I've seen a few nice X's around, but don't seem to get much love when I wave.

Car is pretty modest compared to my previous BMW's. So far it has chrome 4.6is wheels, roof rack delete and a curved LED bar low on the front bumper.
