Well, I'm fairly certain the springs are just rusty now, looking at pictures of factory ones. No sections missing. The struts seem ok, but if I'm there, I might as well do them too. The vibrations...

Well, It looks like some front end work is due. Dealer agrees that the "thrust arm" bushings are completely shredded- I had looked under the car yesterday and found a few bushings in the front end...

Cali has got some good beer! I love me some Sour Wrench, and there isn't a much better place to have one than their brewery in Long Beach.
Just doing bushings is honestly a pain in the butt...

Car has 220k and likely that the tension struts need doing regardless....

I will check, but I'm fairly certain that braking doesn't change it at all, other than it going away with the lowering speed. At 55 is is VERY light, almost unnoticeable. 70-75 seems to be the sweet...

I'll definitely jack it up and check the axles, but I'd be very surprised if it was them. The only thing that DOESN'T vibrate is the steering wheel!

Does the person sell them, or was this a one off? I'd 100% purchase one if I could get it without the alacantra parts, just completely perforated leather.

I am in that group, but I've never seen...

Elusive vibration starting 55 and continuing to highway speeds

Where did you get the wheel? I have a base model, and man, I'm wanting to swap the steering wheel and I'm even considering the seats. I need a sport wheel that's heated though.

I've used CBI in my Acura TL a few years ago, and did like the output, but thought they were a touch too blue to put maximum light on the road. I might go CBI just for the price, but I'm tempted to...

I've been considering better headlight bulbs, and haven't looked into hem yet. I had OSRAM in my old TL, and forget what I had in my 335i. What made you choose the OSRAM CCB?

Huh- I didn't have any issues at all. It was annoying and I had to force it a bit, but in general I got it in pretty easily. I did it with my hip on the door sill, laying down looking up. My back...

I haven't hit 6000# yet, and I really don't think I will. Car's about 3000 even,...
