I saw a white e92 m3 with aftermarket deep dish wheels at Goodlife Markville Mall last week when I went to the gym during the day (had the week off last week).

Yesterday night saw blue e90 M3 lowered with front lip at Goodlife Markville as I was leaving around 9:30pm

This is my first day on the forum here. I am looking at a 2008 M3 at Budd's Chev. Its got 43k on it, original buy was at Budd's BMW. Any advice on maintenance, issues etc. Would be greatly appreciated

not sure if this is the right place to be posting this but i just moved to the toronto area… i am actually up in Richmond Hill.. anyone here can recommend me a good place for a self service car wash ?? i am currently staying in a condo and there is no car wash bay in this place so i want to find a place where i can wash my car.

here's a little pic of what i am currently driving…. i recently sold my 997.1 GT3RS to get the M5….

Montreal red, if you're looking for a place to wash your car try this place. I am in the same boat, live in a condo downtown here in TO and go here on Friday's to wash the M

http://www.washngo.ca/

4000 Dundas Street West
Toronto, ON M6S 2T7
(416) 766-7024

Btw, grats on your cars. You got class and taste.

Crap, just noticed where you live so the car wash on Dundas might be too far from you. Try this place...The car wash is located in Markham across from the Mount Joy Go Station, which is located at 1801 Bur Oak Ave. The closest major intersection would be Markham Road and 16th Ave. (or Markham Rd. and Major Mackenzie Dr. E)




The guys from Audizine have organized car washes there before...that's how I know it.

Stouffville Car Wash is $3 for 4min. The one at Bayview and Major Mack is good but busy. The Stouffville one is at 9th Line and Main and there is almost always a bay available when I go there. Also, Aurora Car Wash on Industry St just south of Wellington. Also not too busy.

Bro I was going to look at that one too. If you haven't bought yet there are allot hitting the dealerships it seems right now (I sort of wish I waited a bit). There are some great ones and trust me the price they wrote has lots of negotiation room.

My buddy is a tech and he tells me the only thing to worry about is throttle actuators and ac evaporator. Otherwise very reliable but expensive routine maintenance.
