Frenchie, I purchased the PBX for my 2007 X3, but the connector colors and wires in their installation guide are different from the X3. How did you figure out how to wire it?

I can move through the gears with the engine off, and I have no concerns about the condition of my clutch.

I will have to research the dual mass flywheels as Weasel has mentioned. I did not...

I went from our well used E46 to the E53 for the same reason, to tow a race car. You will not feel the same about the X5 as you do the E46. My wife and I both miss it a lot. But you can't tow a...

I installed mine less than a year ago, and one started flickering recently. I am in Texas, and it hasn't gotten cold yet. They were fine last winter. I was going to buy a new set. So I may just...

As an update to the topic of using oil on this thread, I am 3000 miles since my CCV change and oil change and I had to put in two quarts today. That is pretty disappointing.

Those were my exact symptoms, vibration only when slowing from above 60 mph. I didn't touch the tension arm, and my vibrations are gone. I will replace tension arm bushings when I feel I need to...

I also think one can contribute to the other. I don't think my rotors would have pulsated at 10K miles if my bushings were not worn. But (I believe) patterns develop in the rotor due to the...

My $70 Harbor Freight 12 Ton press was probably one of the biggest cost saving tools I have ever bought. I pressed in front wheel bearings and ball joints on my RSX this last weekend.

Interesting, I don't have the car anymore, but I thought it did it even after I put bushings on it. I also have noticed that on the new Audi commercial where the kid says "I have been told to dream...

Sorry to nit-pick, but why would you ask him if he would put them on his performance bike? Seems totally irrelevant.

I used them on a Saturn Coupe 5 years ago. I even tracked the car. I had no...

Good point. I'm surprised the dealer didn't recommend that, they just said the lowers needed replacement. If there's one thing I count on them for it's to find opportunities to take the customer's...

Jeff,

Great information. You are absolutely right about correcting the trailer. I wanted to build it very low to haul low race cars, and used to drive only lowered trucks. I have never owned...

Wow, aftermarket hitches sure are getting a bad rap. I had not seen that aftermarket brace, which is terrible looking, but that would be far stronger than the OEM hitch, as long as that brace goes...

He's probably right, though looks can be deceiving. The E46 3-series has massive fore-aft wheel movement in the wheel well under braking. A friend pointed it out one day and I had him drive slowly...

With 10k on my dealer installed front rotors, they are already pulsating my pedal. However they are in spec, so the dealer wouldn't fix them on my maintenance plan. They said come in when they wear...
