Sorry - watched full metal jacket.

Got one source for wheel from WSTO. Not them directly because I have a non-sport wheel now. Look for comparison/alternative.

UdubBadger · 07-19-2011, 04:00 PM

Al what wheel do you want? I can talk to Evan

Copied from my Facebook. I'm Not retyping

Dentist said I need to floss more. Then had the audacity to say "well have to see you twice a year for regular check-ups"........ So you want me to do your job????? *Be lucky I brush my teeth, let alone floss if I'm visiting twice a year

parked car ventilation doesn't do shit, just moves all the hot air around the car and drains the battery

Ricer X · 07-19-2011, 04:35 PM

Just looking for an upgraded steering wheel that doesn't require the sport airbag. Trim options - undecided but likely silver to go with the perf pieces I have already.

oh didn't know they made those.

why not just get the sport airbag and on of the BMW sport wheels? I can't imagine you'd be saving much if any going the other way.

gary88 · 07-19-2011, 04:45 PM

Sport airbag is like $700

you're too old and uncool for a lot of stuff... doesn't mean we don't still include your geriatric ass (or mouth).

BTM · 07-19-2011, 06:36 PM

If I'm going to spend at least $300 on the bag and $750 on the wheel, then I'm going to get something unique and bad ass...not the same thing all the fan boys think I should have.

PerryTM · 07-19-2011, 07:07 PM

So today I thought I was going to lose my car for a while to Elmhurst BMW because of an engine malfunction error message coming up when I would turn my car on leaving from work. Turns out it's do to this extreme heat were having and me parking in a black top lot in direct sun light all day. If any one has the same problems I was instructed to turn the car off and back on again. But if the message appears again then there's a serious problem. Good luck everyone!

BTM · 07-19-2011, 07:08 PM

sounds like bs tbh

These cars live in much hotter climates than what we're experiencing right now...

PerryTM · 07-19-2011, 07:14 PM

I hear you Brain but I figured I should share if someone is having similar problems.

Also, turning the car off and back on will clear the half engine light anyway...when you have a serious problem it will continue to occur. Happened to me a few times right after starting leaving work last fall, yea turning the car off and back on would clear the light, but does cool fall weather on a blacktop parking lot cause the light? Doubtful...

That said, it was 45k+ on it's original HPFP, and would come on anyway from time to time. Most able to replicate doing repeated WOT runs, but sometimes just randomly.

gary88 · 07-19-2011, 08:06 PM

When my old battery was almost dead I got the half engine light, my transmission locked itself in park, my active steering was disabled, and some other stuff I can't remember. Turning the car off then back on cleared everything, then a few days later my car had to be jumped
