Well the pulse was up thats for sure.

They do sound and look nice but not sure there are too many other upsides.

Last night the 335i had to be towed home, my wife was in the tow car and assured me she had done it before. Well it was 25 mins of harrowing terror! The lacks of steering and brakes were hard enough but when she went through a roundabout and obviously forgot I was there I saw my life flash before my eyes. Now time to replace that coolant pump.

It took me about a week to get used to linear throttle but obviously there is no loss of power you just have to use the pedal fully. It is so much better for everyday driving and makes working around the small bit of turbo lag so much easier.

I will let you know

Yes they do very good off road not as nice as an X5 on road.

I have offered him 18k he asked for my number but so far no reply.

I just bought a 2008 VW Touareg for 5k. 114k 4.2 V8 with good service history, needed a tow vehicle.

The more I look at them the more I like them.

Having played with a staggered and square setup on my 330ci I preferred the staggered setup. as to the tires the PS4s are a much better bet if you dont mid the extra cash.

I have to agree, slim pickings at present.

Its back for sale, bid is 16k, seems like a familiar number.

Looking to do a simple 300mm front disk upgrade on the 328i and need some E46 Caliper carriers (Rotor Cages). Could also do a complete 330i front upgrade if anyone has a set of calipers for sale.

As above E92 Motorsport front bumper, wanted.

This just emphasis's the need for a Radar Detector, not so I can do 130kph but so I dont get an unnecessary ticket for doing 106kph when traffic is flowing smoothly or I am on a clear road in perfect driving conditions. Mine has save me form this fate on so many occasions now it has paid for itself many times over.

Vogtland kits are pretty cost effective. German company. Shocks are made by Bilstein or Alko.

Yes coded.

I have ordered a pump thermostat kit so will do that as required maintenance. I will check the charging system and battery (Only 18 months old). I will pull the PDC and replace as its not working anyway and finally check the DME for any water damage. Hopefully the DME is ok as I only had the MOSFETS for the injectors replaced a year ago, but opening it may have made it more prone to leakage, I guess I will find out. I will say the car still starts and will rev but after being on for 10 to 15 seconds the warning lights come on and it locks into park (but not if its moving).

Well since my PDC doesn't work I will add this to the list of things to check. Thanks.

Tell me more, is this a known issue?

Well its not as dramatic as that but the dash did light up like a Xmas tree and I was locked in park. I downloaded the fault codes (below) and I dod supect my water pump has died as its the right km (104k) for it to happen. I also got a high temp light on the dash as well. Whats the thoughts fellas? - DME active codes - 2DEB - DME: Power management, vehicle electrical system. 2E82 - DME: Electric coolant pump, cutoff.

I am an Auto Electrician but have not been in the trade for a good while now.

I would go KW, Boytie had a set on his E60 and the ride handling compromise was very good. He did find raising the ride height from Flat Peak slammed to lowish made a huge difference to how it rode with no effect on handling. I will say setting my E46 330ci super low was a disaster.

I had Ohlins Road & Track on my E46 and they were excellent.
