Tru line. They are a high end suspension shop. Be warned though, they'll really try to push for a corner balance since you have coilovers. They are pricey but their alignments are on point.

Heya-

On my way home today I spotted a gorgeous blue 4.6is with aftermarket halos rolling down I-90 near Issaquah. Hard to sa for sure but it felt like there was a bit of lane-jockeying to check out each other's rides. Anyone on the board? I was in my red 4.8is with black rims.

Thanks for the recommendation. They did a great job and at a very reasonable price.

Silver 01 3.0 checking in.
I'm down in the south end (Kent, FW, Auburn...)

I've seen a few nice X's around, but don't seem to get much love when I wave.:dunno:

Car is pretty modest compared to my previous BMW's. So far it has chrome 4.6is wheels, roof rack delete and a curved LED bar low on the front bumper.

Nice! I'll be sure to wave if I see you. I also have a silver pre-facelift with a roof rack delete (until it starts snowing).

I have three BMWs and each one has a totally different response when encountering someone with the same model.
  • M3 - If the driver is over 40, a smile and a wave. If the driver is under 40, brief staring competition to see who has the more expensive version and then rev the engine a bunch before hurrying away.
  • 750il (E38) - A subtle nod, indicating not only the exquisite taste and breeding of those who own the greatest 7-series variant, but also the unrivaled majesty of my V12. We then both polish our monocles, tip our top hats and elegantly drift away.
  • X5 - Usually, I'm totally ignored because the driver is too busy talking into three cell phones while swerving back and forth across two lanes, shouting at a child and batting away errant sporting goods. Alternately, we spend way too much time slowly lane-jockeying to check out each other's mods, then rush home to post here and see if we know each other.
One of my favorite X5 moments in Issaquah was what I thought to be that last example - I ran across an unusually nice pre-facelift 3.0i on my way home, and fell into traffic behind him to check out his ride. After a block he brake-checked me, swerved into a driveway and went into angry-dad mode. I guess he thought I was tailgating (I wasn't). :(

Spotted a silver prefacelift with some non stock chrome wheels, iS rear diffuser, running boards, and iS exhaust in the side of 167. I was headed in the opposite direction. Hopefully the rest of your day goes better.

Hey Seattle wallahs, any one with the AGA N62 valve stem seal tool? Currently I'm using oil additives to stop the smoking and it's working really well, but I know this is not a long term solution. I have the rear subframe bushings tool so if any one wants to borrow it, feel free to ping me.
