Can't tell if it'll damage the tires or just wear them much faster. 5000+ lb truck. 50+ weather. Depends on your speed, vehicle load, and how much turning you'll do.

I think the compromise should be determined by the conditions (temps as well as snow/wet/dry roads) on the transit legs back and forth.


if you'll only see 40+F weather and dry/wet roads, get...

I haven't converted, but from the parts diagram (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=FE83&mospid=50043&btnr=51_6375&hg=51&fg=20), it looks like they are interchangeable. But note that...

I agree, and the ECU is happy to cycle the injectors on/off for you: if you don't require power from the engine to maintain your speed, then the injectors are off, even with your foot on the gas.

I guess I still don't understand. I wouldn't coast in a manual car with the clutch in. I don't do this in either of mine. What's the advantage of taking your foot off the gas to coast if you're...

What does your econometer say? Pretty sure mine pegs toward the high mpg end when this happens, so it isn't wasting gas. I wouldn't think that BMW would program in this downshift to waste gas when...

According to my parts list, the 337 part above seems to be an e70-only US rack. I'm in the US, and I just ordered and received the rear bike carrier that attaches to the x5 at the tow hook points. ...

Just wanted to let the board know that I ended up buying a set of 210s from Wesco Tire and Wheel in Van Nuys, CA. I noticed that they had an ebay auction for a set of OEM take-offs wheels/tires, so I...

I was about to order an 09 until a local dealer found an 08 with everything we wanted. Got the 08 for...
