No, it was this past Saturday. Always the first Saturday of the month.

Anyone arriving after 7:30 was turned away--full house.

Found the X a new stablemate 2010 Range Rover Sport Supercharged (It was a culmination of a good deal, the right options, another tax write-off....oh yea, and 510 ponies under the hood!!!).

Do you have brake squeal? I have the same pads on Brembo drilled rotors and I get some squeals at low speed.

Congrats! You can't tell how jelly I'm right now. They are high up on my list right next to the E70 X5M. I'd like mine in black however.

Thanks T! Most of the rovers you see here are either black or grey actually!

The part that caught my eye was actually the interior...its called "Arabica"...looks like an almond/nutmeg two-tone theme. Easy on the eyes as it's not as bright as the tan in the X.

As with just about anything with 500+hp you would expect it to be quick....but I still can believe how it moves. Gotta love the bottom end of that supercharged V8! The ol' inline 6 on the X is so meager by comparison!! haha.

Nice man! How much do those weigh?

Fronts have been on for about 8 months- no squeal on fronts or rears. I always use anti squeal on the back of the pads and the ears.

I noticed on the back of the original BMW pad there was a shim/spacer of some sort maybe? On the EBC there wasnt. Either way I'll get some anti squeal and see if it helps

yesterday I put in the oem cargo cover I've been looking for that was missing when I bought mine.

today I put on a new clip for the rear right door lower weatherstrip that had broke and the strip was hanging down. I think this is what was helping rain get in the floor in that area.

also ordered a clip for the same place on my front driver door for 81 cent...

tomorrow I'm gonna figure out what type of mirror glass I have on my passenger mirror so I can order the correct replacement as I've got some sort of delamination going on with it that is bugging the hell out of me.
