Because I'm nowhere near as good DIYer as I had convinced myself I was, I cracked my windshield at the last DIY event while trying to change the rubber gasket. :icon_ange
State Farm is willing to...
With all due respect, why not go to a club DIY event? You'll get a full lift instead of a pair of ramps, and THEY provide YOU with food and drink. The next one is on September 18th at BMW of...
How much variation in tire wear/tread depth can I get away with on a stock 2011 E91 xDrive (GM Automatic)?
My rear driver-side Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (225/45R17 94Y XL) has a small leak in the...
The "Learn More" and "Build Yours" pages for the G80 M3 Sedan and G82 M3 Coupe, including Competition versions, are now online.
As of right now the G83 M4 Convertible pages have yet to appear.

What is the best way to get spoken turn-by-turn driving guidance from a .GPX coordinate log file on iOS?
I went on my first club driving tour in July, and had a lot of fun, but had a lot of...
I recently learned that someone I work with is a long-time BMW enthusiast, so we've been chatting about him getting a good used BMW to replace his Focus DSG after Ford buys it back for transmission...
I was doing a twenty-first century chore (deleting spam) when I found the following essay at the bottom of an offer to search luxury cars for sale nearby:
Why do we use cars?
Why do we...
The group is actually quite warm and welcoming. The trouble is that the group doesn't use its own web site very much. I noticed that myself when I joined, and I've never thought it made any sense,...
Welcome to the club!
There's a DIY event at Craftsman Auto Care in Alexandria coming up on February 10th. It's not showing up on the home page's calendar but you can register here (until January...
Check the Calendar of Events at the bottom of the home page. The 2019 DIY schedule just went up.
I've noticed that DIY events tend to take a bit of a break at the beginning of the year, but I'll be very surprised if they don't start up again around April. Very few DIY events have a specific...
Do you already own the tires and just need them installed or do you need to buy them as well?
Are you a Costco member?
Schmiedmann has it for 40.83 (plus shipping from Denmark...)
Schmiedmann has everything. You just have to wait (in this case, for five days) for shipping from Denmark...
The subject line of the announcement, and the calendar on the home page, show an event date of October 20th. But when you follow the link, the registration page shows an event date of November 10th…
Since I just got e-mail from Bimmerfest reminding me that there will NOT be a Bimmerfest East this year, and saying there seems to be lot of confusion about this, and telling me to please NOT show up...
The gas struts that lift the tailgate of my 2011 E91 LCI gave out when I tried to open the gate to load nine computer displays, two laptop computers, and one desktop computer. On last week's hottest...
I don't know if there's an official policy, but I've seen someone do that more than once.
It worked for me a few minutes ago.
The page also has a speedometer error calculator. Unfortunately, BMW just adds 3 MPH to all speeds (lazy AND annoying!), so the Nokians will only get me to perfect accuracy at roughly 81 MPH. Then...
I don't need new snow tires this season (the Blizzaks still have plenty of tread left) but I'm the kind of guy who will check what's available anyway.
MaLColM (my 2011 E91 xDrive) has 225/45R17...
The subject pretty well sums up my situation.
I need to start building up my tool collection so people will stop looking at me that way when I ask to borrow tools at DIY events. One of the things...
BMW has announced two separate recalls to fix two separate potential fire risks.
One applies to 672,775 2006-2011 3-series cars (M3 included). In-dashboard wiring for climate control vents can...
I apologize if this is the wrong place for the following message but I couldn't think of what might be a better one. I also realize club management probably already knows this, but just in case...

I don't know whether they qualify as convertible top fixing geniuses or not, but I've had excellent experiences with Scandinavian Import Servicenter. They took care of my Volvo for a decade (and got...
