I am so SICK of all this rain!

I'm ready for a little snow. I'd like to see how my WinterSport 3Ds do.

David1 · 12-25-2011, 09:29 PM

Tempted to get mine out of storage and go for a spin since the weather has been nice.

Yea, that same temptation crossed my mind too until the idea that I would need to clean it again................

Merry Christmas all!

I happened upon a set of black lines under the christmas tree this year! Any one interested in a stock set?

I should have installed them when it was warmer out! Oh well, should be a pretty quick swap. I also just ordered some new LED AE's and H7 bulbs today. So, a lighting upgrade all around! Can't wait for spring when I can upgrade my wheels and tires!

Hey all!

Can anyone recommend a local (Solon / Geauga Lake) shop that could swap my spark plugs cheaper than the stealership?

I've got the replacements coming in the mail along with the special tool.

Sweet, thanks...it seems Koala is only about 20 min from my house. I didn't realize there were BMW experts nearby!

Glad to help,

And that tends to be a nice drive out in that area too.

Hey, guys.

I'm in north east Ohio.

I want do some job to my 335i in next month.

I don't have garage and jacks, so I need a good shop to do it.

I want put on my FMIC, DPs, coilovers and Big brake kit. (I assuming 12 hours work?)

I've heard good feed back of Koala Motorsport in Novelty.

Any info for Smokey's dyno? If they are also good, I can do a pre run then install everything.

Any one know some other shops? Average work quality, and cheap price will be nice.

Thanks guys.

Koala is a good shop for BMW, and they do custom differential work. However, don't bother going to them with anything that will affect emissions on a street vehicle (such as aftermarket DP). They told me they won't do it for liability reasons.

Chewy734 · 01-25-2012, 09:22 AM

Koala is good, but the above comment applies with them. They are a little touchy about installing or re-installing certain parts.

Another good one is Larchmere Imports.

Chewy734 · 01-26-2012, 07:25 AM

Any of you guys going to this?
