Last oil change in Okemos dealership made me very upset, don't want to have such a service again. Thank you for any advice!

Or Grand Blanc BMW. They are a bit closer and have never served me wrong.

Thanks! I found that my dash informs me about service overdue. I guess will just reset it and wait for winter.

I won this certificate at a golf tournament. I live in Oregon and am not going to be able to get out and use it. It usually sells for $1450. I would like to sell for $1100 and make a $100 donation to Youth Villages Non-profit.

Thanks for looking

What's new? We are accused of that all the time. Supposedly it's the norm.

Actually, I was wrong about my milage - it's close to 40k now.
Yeah, maybe it's a good idea to take the car for a longer ride to charge the battery. Cars hasn't been used for the Summer and since that time I do only short trips.

I am attaching a copy of the E90 DIS manual that will tell you what all of your lights/codes mean and i believe it shows you how to clear them when you are done.

Crazy yes. Instructing for BMWCCA. I'm from Ann Arbor and have family there. So it coincided with my visit.

[e90Mark]

How's the drive? I know some people that drive out to Kzoo from the Denver area.

Long. Tedious. According to google maps, driving across Nebraska and Iowa is 23% of the distance from NY, NY to LA, CA. I hate the airlines more than I hate driving across NE, unless it's August: Then I would prefer taking my chances sitting in a hot, sweaty, cramped, aluminum tube teeming with nasty viruses at the top of the troposphere where it's -40 outside while even surviving the rudest of flight attendants serving up $5 sodas. Iowa is OK, I find it scenic in a lot of places, especially eastern Iowa. Driving through Gary, IN doesn't take but a few minutes, so that is tolerable. Did I insult anyone yet?

[J-Spec Dan]

I've decided I'm not getting up for the MotorCity Gumball launch at 8am. Meeting up at the top level of the Peabody Parking Structure in Bham 09/14 at 10am. Then rolling out at around 10:30 to Cars & Coffee. Blaster400 will be meeting me there. Maybe zivyn. Anyone else interested, see you then.

Bring your helmets, just in case!!
