Recently, I have had people honk at me while passing on the freeway. What gives? Just jealous because they drive a POS car?
Anybody else get this in the Sac area? |

usually around 70mph to pass some slowly traffic. 4th is enough... since i see north of 5k rpm in 4th, that's my common sense telling me to back off a bit. hahahahahaha.

3rd gear we reach damn near 100. On Freeway when you do drop in 3rd you get to 85 so quick it just doesn't make sense. 4th gear is just fine.

People here in the Sac City area are snob drivers. Its not the fact we have a BMW, its just the fact that many drivers are ignorant and they think they drive perfect. When in fact many slow drivers and or non-aggressive drivers cause more slit on the roads. My favorite is "Slower Traffic Keep Right" how many drivers follow that? Its the law, and when we faster drivers, more aggressive drivers come up and tailgate, we are the assholes, and all they need to do is get in the fucking right lane and follow the law. Let us get pulled over, its not their concern. I mean if we are driving 90+ OK we are A-Holes.

damn this POS again... got "'close gas cap" message on dash followed by a SES yellow while i know my gas cap is tightened. had this message 2 times since Sat, and read code it was 2A15 DTML leakage. some people say it is because of a worn out gas cap (which i wish this is the case), some say maybe a damn DTML pump.

i just went out and tested. there's one click. but looks like when im trying to turn it counter-clockwise, i don't have to put much effort to turn it and it can be turned and loosen. i don't remember and pay attention to the gas cap. how does your feel when you try to open it? do you have to put some force to turn it open or it is pretty easy to turn open?

Usually they stop clicking when their bad, but it could also be a gasket leak on the cap. These things are cheap so if its just a bad cap thats nothing to worry about. If you x5 still has a warranty, switch the caps then if you get a check engine light on your x5 take it in for a "free diagnostic" since you know they will end up replacing the gas cap

We'll hopefully it works out, its a simple fix to lol. To bad your mirror cant be fixed as easily. You know, that parking lot where your shop is at is could be a nice place for a bmw meet. I know everyone meets over in Arden bi monthly, but maybe we should start a new meet (once a month, or once every two months) to meet in front of your shop. We can supply you some cash during the meet's if you supply us some spicy chicken too lol.

FUNNY how we used to have a meet at my place monthly and it was pretty good turn out, we constantly had about 20 cars... somehow folks stopped showing up and ended up the meet went dead then all a sudden a new meet popped up at Arden as the current bi-monthly. we used to have E55s, E46M3s, E60M5s... showing up at my place when we had meet. parking lot always had a nice scene during the meet.

What day was it? What time? Maybe the day and time was to inconvenient for most to make it, or maybe some lost there jobs and had to downsize ect... I'm kinda surprised it wasn't popular since its smack dab in the middle of most areas. Natomas is right in the middle of most cities (downtown is better but way to crowed). You could get people from all over, Rocklin, el dorado hills, elk grove, Roseville, Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, Dixon, and Vacaville. I can see how Arden would feel closer to those in Roseville, rancho ect... but then those in Vacaville, davis, woodland would feel like their drive is to far keeping them from coming out. I'm sure the biggest reason is the day and time of the meet. We should try and get another one going, maybe once a month and create a new thread inviting people from all over the region. Natomas is just about a 30mins for most cities in the region. It really is the middle wen you include the surrounding areas like woodland, davis, dixon ect... Maybe we can revive the meet. I see lots of bmw's around this area too.

i think we usually hold up meet on either a friday night or Sat. which is very reasonable hour. we used to have a lot of folks (non e90post memeber, they are mainly on m3f and bimmerpost) from elk grove and some from roseville too.

I get the close gas cap every now and then. Dont recall ever seeing a code from it. I was told it was from the procede tune. I get it 2-3 times per tank. Never fails. Every now and then ill the yellow ses light too. It goes away on its own once its warmed up or within 5mins. |

i just put in a new cap and test drove for a bit, mixed with normal and aggressive WOT. no code whatsoever YET. i hope it is only the bad gas cap. this POS is aging and a lot of parts are falling apart! yes, it already has 61k miles, and i bet its hitting 70+ like human age, shit started not functioning one by one. LOL

My gf gave me sh!t for buying my friends car. Its a bmw blah blah blah. Within a month my battery went out. I asked her jump and never heard the end of it. "I told you... Bmw sucks Blah blah" so i bought a battery booster so i never ask her again. She bought a used accord and hers went out at 30k. Mine was at 55k. I gave her so much crap i almost became single I was fortunate that the water pump went out a week before my friend gave me the car lol |
