At how many miles do you get an alignment done?

I have no clue really. I'm getting mine aligned because i'm installing coilovers next weekend and need a place that will pay attention to my needs, as i will most likely need my fenders rolled as well as more negative camber. Im going with 19x8.5 et20 up front and 19x9.5 et23 in the rear lowered on eibach pro street s on my lci e90. I hope they can make it work for me

You should typically get an alignment done when replacing all 4 tires, tires and rims, or altering anything to do with the suspension ie coil overs or bushings.

I got my suspension dialed in there and an alignment. They are really skilled over there. Randy (the owner) races GT3 cups cars. They can prob make it work. As for price, they are a bit on the high side but you get what you pay for, and you know that they will do it right.

Chin will be at NOLA MSP this weekend (15-16th)...visitors pay $5...and solo drivers can take passengers...bring a helmet and look for BMWs. Drivers will be there at 7:30am for the meeting, so most will be passing through the Wank pretty early.

Damn, I missed it. My flight doesnt leave California until Tuesday (18th) Shucks. Maybe next time.

BTW, I hear its been pretty dead meet wise. Well since the return of the Almighty and Wonderful Sara504 is coming I think we all need to do a meet in Metairie. Its been a long time since I've seen any of you and there are new members to meet. If the BR crew thinks that's too far, well maybe we can all meet halfway somewhere. Lets plan something soon. My car will delivered to Belle Chasse on the 24th so maybe that following weekend?

First off, who's down for meet? Show of hands.

Secondly, when do yall want it?


Missed you guys.

Mardi Gras region PCA is having a "Cars and Coffee" get-together this Sunday February 23 at 9:30am at Chateau Coffee Café (139 Robert E. Lee Blvd.) on the corner of Robert E. Lee and West End Blvd.

Is it usually appropriate for non-club members to join in as well?

Also, where is a good place to get a car detailed in NOLA?

Sorry but I wouldn’t know since I’m not a member

Also, where is a good place to get a car detailed in NOLA?

What exactly do you need done? Are you just looking for a wash or are you looking for corrective work (such as removing swirls, holograms, etc., etc.). I’ve hear good things about Express Auto Salon in Kenner but if you are just looking for a hand wash you could try King Kleen on Veterans.

I have FBO and a Cobb tune with a custom 335is protune map on it aswell but you can toss any map in or msg Jake at PFT with my cobb and you have free e tunes or you can go to any cobb dealers and pay for your own pro tune. I also have the Bmw Performance non electric steering wheel the euro version with the blue stripe. everything is going. just planning a date to take it apart. Todd and Grant knows why i'm partin out and im tired of it. PM me for a part you want. First come first serve. thanks


Also I can reduce the price for returning on stock parts. Needing stock DP, stock exhaust, stock suspension, and stock lci performated oem steering wheel(just the wheel) Rims are for sale with nearly new tires + updated TPMS for 2011+. stock 313s for trade I can reduce price.
