No, its a real ski resort on Humphry's peak near Flagstaff.

worse that could happen is you take the class

He used his cars pace to measure mine so I guess I can argue inaccurate speedometer. Regardless I'm not going to argue that just going to take the class and the ticket will be dismissed. Are you going to do anymore South Mountain meets?

This is from the AZcourts website

"Once the course begins you give up your option to go to Court and for a refund of your class fees."

I would take the course on this one and save the lawyer for the next one when you dont have the option of the class.

Got it thanks for the information . In New York the judge would tell you to take the course on your court date appearance after the ticket was dismissed or talked down to a lesser charge. I contacted a school here and was told after the class is taken the ticket is then dismissed and you don't have to go to court at all.

+1. I am also interested in getting some coding done here in the valley and looking for a reputable person or place. Looked at some coding DIY's on this forum and it seems too complicated for my basic computer skills

No one has any info for this??

With any exhaust mods that remove cats you will need a O2 simulator. If you have a procede it contains a built in O2 modifier to fool the car into thinking it has cats. If you run a JB4 or other tune you would need a separate O2 simulator.

I'm running downpipes and utilizing the procede's built in O2 modifier. I have autocode clearing off and never had a check engine light or code issue.

Hope that helps

Contact Chris Terry@Wheel Specialist at 480 862-3203. Tell him Austin gave you his contact info and see what he can do for u. I had my wheels painted matte black there and they came out great and I know they can do powercoating. They also back up all their work 100%. Hope this helps

Mind the pictures, I didn't do a ton of editing... just enough to look good.

I called place above. Quoted $150 per wheel for a powdercoat. On the high side IMO

[az335idesi]

Possibly. Thing is I'm as of yet undecided on a color.

Ally I think I saw that car on Power road and queen creek the other morning sitting at the light. Thought it was yours but wasnt sure

That is on the high side and I'm sure you can find them for cheaper but you also tend to get what you pay for IMHO. My wheels were painted matte black for ~$100/wheel, its def more work to powder coat them. They back up their work 100% tho and the quality, service, and facility is outstanding.

After about 6 months I brought my car back to have my tires rotated from left to right and somebody there saw that my wheels had started to have very small cracks in the paint. I had never seen the cracks before cuz they were so small and on the inside of the wheel where the spokes meet the outer rim (my wheels are dished as you can see in the link below). They brought it to my attention and had my wheels repainted for free by a new painter who used a better process and I haven't had any problems with the paint for 1 1/2 years since then. Never noticed it in the first place, didn't cost me a dime and they were even better then before IMHO.

Sorry for going on and on but just want you to have a good experience . As I remember your new to the area and you will quickly find their are few reputable shops here for any kind of BMW work unfortunately. We have a few but def not like LA or some other cities. Best of luck to you!
