Also, after the winter we've had, thank god for Monster Mats. I don't even want to think of what the carpet would look like without them.

I gave up on keeping my cars clean shortly after my twin daughters were born. Luckily they spend most of their time in mom's car. I count on doing a full detail after every family road trip....

If anyone would like the Auto shifter, please PM me as I have zero use for it with my stick shift X.

Light Poplar trims are spoken for by a member on here in Colorado, when I get mine swapped I will be sending the uncracked trims to him for his vehicle. Win win for everyone, and a final end to a long search for an affordable set of Titan Trims (new from BMW is about $740).

Congrats bud

X5

It's funny my wifes rear end always looks like it needs attention, what would you know!

Oh we're talking about X5 here, whoops Tam which tires are you getting her for replacement, are you sure the rears aren't wearing faster due to the wishbone and ball joint on the swingarm?

I suspect the technician put it "in spec" after the last alignment check up about 5 mos ago. It he did

The wheels on the old 3.0i for awhile with even wear. It's been on the iS since July with about 5k miles and the inner is gone.

hmmmm, thats fairly quick for the inner. With your mileage I'd look into rear wishbones and the lower ball joint thats pressed in the wheel carrier. Tell them to take the toe down on the rear as well, that shreds the tires with our camber.

I replaced a PDC sensor in front (god bless the bumper removal less front access) with a 14.xx delivered eBay unit. Arrived quickly, solved the issue.
