Anyone in Wisconsin? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

grymattr · 04-10-2007, 02:39 PM

Hello all -

I'm in WI (SE) wondering if anyone else is an enthusiast - wants to talk shop, meet up, etc.

Peace,

Dean

that made me chuckle. I couldn't believe that but I guess anything is possible.

That is if I ever get her. Made it to port on Sat and it is now lost in the hole we know as VPC. This wait is killing me.

Dean,

I'm in WI as well ... and as a matter of fact I often see E90/E92's running around Madison. It may not be California, but there are some enlightened people here ...

I know it was a joke ... seriously though the fact that seeimingly every 5th car in California is a 3-series must get very annoying. At least here in the Midwest they're still a little distinctive ...

grymattr · 04-12-2007, 08:04 AM

I work in Milwaukee and I exist in Racine (notice I did not say 'live' as that would hold an entirely different meaning)

Yes, some of us in WI. do have money. Have to admit - my 335i let me down yesterday in the snow/slush. I'm ordering a LSD today as my wheel just spun and spun and spun and left me stuck on the side of the road yesterday.

ARGH!

I wish you all well.

Dean

Dean, are you running the summer tires on your 335i right now? If so, that's more the problem than anything else ... summers are useless in the snow as I found out in November ...

I bought my fiance' new rims/tires for her 540iA (Blizzaks) and she has NO problems - these sport tires from the sport package are worthless. I had the good fortune to have a Sheriff (and if he reads this THANK YOU) push me out of the slush after being stuck.

As I have 1046 miles on her and I want to feel the love I felt the other day.

Thanks to everyone for their input and I hope to meet some if not all of you soon!

Peace,

Dean

That's good to hear ... for a second there I thought you were buying a LSD to address the lack of snow traction.

grymattr · 04-12-2007, 01:08 PM

No, buying a LSD to address the problems with DRY traction!! heh heh

Why spin one when you can spin em both?

Wooo smokey!

Peace,

Dean

kiddo · 04-14-2007, 02:24 PM

Nocanpickem · 04-15-2007, 12:30 PM

Another BMW owner in Madison.

A meeting would be a good idea.

grymattr · 04-18-2007, 09:44 AM

I'd be up for it - been working 7 days a week as of late but hopefully will be able to get out for a weekend of driving!

Peace,

Dean
