Dam, I heard about a crashed M3 on the way up to Thickwood so that might have been you

Glad you are ok, most important

Glad you you your money back too

Sounds like the new one will be better than the last

Gutsy taking DSC off, I never do

Yeah it wasn't smart disabling the DSC but then again I was going faster than I should have been. It was a great learning experience for me.

What do you think of the AT Mesh Wheels?..... here are a few pictures:



At 21.6 LBS for the 20x10.5 and 19.8 LBS for the 20x9 they are amazingly light. and I they look awesome.

I'll keep you posted and maybe we can meet up when I take delivery in April.

Take Care

They look ok Jamie but I think there is better out there.

I love my Neez and you could get a custom QD7 colour and it would be awesome.

With a Silverish car darker rims will look better imo

You said you are custom painign the Brembos? If they are light then a dark rim will really make them "pop" out

just my 0.01

To each his own I guess. I am not a fan of dark wheels. The QD7's look good but I prefer these.

Yeah the Brembos will be painted Moonstone to match the car....... I am gonna take my chances with these but thanks for your input.

Welcome to the club, lots of great members here to get solid info from. Winter meet anyone?

[sparkyg]

I gotta get out of my block first

Holy sht what a dump of snow and wind

Anyone notice the city is doing a shitty job of moving snow, they were useless on Saturday

My taxes at work, they'd rather collect tickets from friggin green lights

I pushed out 3 cars from my neighbourhood alone

I'd love to have an X1 on days like this

Its how they manage their budgets.
No overtime for the city workers just contractors . However last night ( while I was out in the X I saw lots of trucks and loaders working loading and hauling snow. A steady stream of trucks going to the snow dump on 17 street.

Just to let you know I purchased a set of Forgelines and BFG R-1's from Turner and the RAC wheels will be coming in the next couple of weeks.

Not that I can use them but. you know.. ....

Nice, yeah I wanna get Xmas toys but nothing really interests me.

I guess I'll just sit on things.

Are you gonna replace the X5 Felix?

The X5 35d would sure save you a ton of gas money and suit its intended purpose.

[fe55]

Needless to say the'04 x met an untimely death on Yellowhead about 4 wks ago,
My daughter had an accident and it is written off.
I had to replace it in very short order but no x35d's were available so i went with a '08 4.8 x5. Since the corporation pays for the gas and our corporate experience is that diesels don't last any longer than gas engines , the decision was a moot one.
The diesels are selling very well however and I understand are back ordered several months. 1/2 of all x5's sold now are diesels. ( from sales mgr @ Bavaria.)

I tried out a diesel in the summer and i liked the torque but when you got going ( +130 km) it sort of ran out of steam.

Hey guys decided to update a few of you as to the status of my incomming E90 M3.

I am going to end up with a 2011 car that will be built in early March. It will be Individual Moonstone exterior and I am 99% sure that Edmonton BMW and BMW Canada have convinced BMW AG to do Individual Amarone Extended for the interior color.

I have changed my exhaust from the Akrapovic Evolution System to an Eisenmann Sport with connecting pipes with the mufflers powdercoated black and tips in Chrome.

I have a set of BBS LM's in 20" on order with PS2's in 245/30/20F and 265/30/20R

European Front Bumper is going to be ordered factory painted from Germany and will be drop shipped directly to the dealer.

Eibach Springs are at IND and are waiting to be shipped with some Grilles, Side Gills and Mesh Pieces done in Gloss Black.

IND has the Brembo 380MM BBK at their facility fresh from being colormatched in Moonstone by Brembo in California!

Here are some teaser photos of the Brembos





I'd like to say that if any of you want to source parts for your M's I highly recommend using IND. IND is absolutely the Best and will supply anything your heart desires all for killer prices with awesome service.

[frenchM3dreamer]

that all sounds really interesting!!!
i might have to go to FMM for the summer, hope to see your car around!
