Well, in my case the diagnosis is a bad trans. Dealer pulled codes from the TCU and transmitted them to BMW tech support. Tried a few more tests with and without the TCU hooked up from what I...

Not trying to stir up controversy, just reporting the dealer's input. I asked if at 75K doing a trans service was going to be a problem and he said absolutely not. Of course there's two sides to...

Congrats. Those are great cars. The only other engine that would be more fun in that chassis would be the S6 V10- the one out of the Gallardo. And as much as I like my BMW's, nobody makes an AWD...

Got my Bridgestone $100 AMEX gift card yesterday

This was from the $100 promo for May- buy 4 Dueler HP's and get $100.

So not only did I get a set of tires that are 1/3 the price of the original Diamaris tires, and are a far better tire in...

Windshield washers only work intermittently, any others?

Interesting Bilstein discussion. I'd put Bilstein HD's on my wife's Explorer and had to take them out after 1,000 miles they were so bad. Way too much rebound for the stock suspension. But I'd put...

Sorry can't help there. Ran through 2 sets of the staggered 19" Diamaris's before swapping to the Bridgestones. World of difference in my book.

19" Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport after 600 mile trip

Finally got a chance to do more that just drive around town on my new HP Sports. Staggered 19" sizes. These replaced my old Damairis tires. So what do I think? Big thumbs up!
