A very peculiar name

but welcome. I'm also in the CLE area - I'm not sure if there are any regular meets in the area but good to see some more locals.

Not mine, my buddy's car. He just moved to Oregon so I told him I would help him sell the car. Super reliable! I would buy for myself as a daily/winter car if I wasn't building a house right now

Anyone in the central OH area with a spare oem charge pipe? Mine just broke right at the c clip and I need another C clip to install my VRSF pipe.

BMB063 · 08-05-2015, 07:26 PM

Anyone in the Columbus area know a good mechanic or is anyone a mechanic themselves? I am looking at a used Jeep Grand Cherokee and it will need some work.

Check out Alex at Alpine - they do remote coding out of California for a pretty fair price. They did my Alpina TCU and tons of other coding for mine.

I may be able to code you with my Carly for BMW app and bluetooth OBD. Since you're a 2007, bluetooth may not work but we can see. I have a several things coded on my 2008. Here's what I can code, select (E9X) http://support.mycarly.com/knowledge..._campaign=home

I'm not setup for Alpina TCU flashes in case that was your dream...

Actually - I still have his cables. I forgot to return them so I never got my core charge back LOL. I may just keep them and do some more coding with him.

Got my winter vehicle a little early! Anyone have suggestions on places to store my BMW when winter rolls around?

Needs work? It's junk. My 14 has 31k miles and needs all kinds of shit. I can't imagine a used one that needs work. They were junk when I worked on them 20 some years ago. What year? The v6 has bad cylinder heads up to 2013 models and the V8's have PCv and oil sluge issues.

Well I guess I know your position on this model haha. It's a 2005 limited V8. Known to have some problems but this one seems pretty sturdy.

thompsac25 · 08-11-2015, 01:10 PM

Still for sale!

Believe it or not my BMW's even both of my 335's were mostly problem free. My X5 started needing the standard BMW stuff around 90k miles.
