Count me in too, this will be a first for me.

Folks,
It's been a while since I posted any new info on this, but it's finally wound through to it's conclusion. Appealed the ticket, got a court date of the 12th of June, and went through the...

Folks,
Would like to get the sense of the community's thoughts on the probability of beating the speeding ticket for a particular locale that I'm sure some of you know. Here's the scenario:

I have a 2000 M5, and I'll bet you the costs are nearly identical, considering the limited number of changes made between 00 and 04.

...and you can't go too wrong. Frankly, the winters are so mild here, that unless you live far to the west, you can probably continue run with the same oil. The number of days that really truly...

I have a 2000 E39 M5. I loaned it to my wife Friday as I was dropping her minivan off at the shop, and she call me in tears at lunchtime. Seems she was at the bank a mile from the house, and let...

I love Fix It Again, Tony!, and it's so true! I fell in love with a '74 124 Spyder, owned by a sailor returning from overseas in 1978, burnt orange in color. In the course of the next two years I...

Does anyone know if Radial Tire gives a discount for BMW CCA NCC members? If so, is there a specific person I should call?

TIA,

The valentine has directional indicators that provide a better head's up of where the radar signal is coming from, and IMHO provides better sensitivity and signal selectivity. You also have some...

I found a Batteries Plus store in Rockville (the closest I could find to Baltimore) and went and got the replacement. You were right, its' made by Douglas. It's identical to the original (even...

....They'll be able to give you the service scoop if they're cooperative. If they buy you're story, they can print it out and fax it to you. This is what I did with my 2000 M5. I saw it being...

...and the agent wants to keep your business. Even if you've been insured less than 10 years, if you've got a good record, they ought to cut you some slack, or work with you, since none of these...

Folks,
The original battery (4+ years old) in my 00 M5 is going to quit any day now, and I would like to pre-emptively replace it. I understand Douglas Battery makes BMW's batteries, and since the...

I like the look from the rear, certainly more so than the new 5-series, but the front is forgetable. I also like the control console, that is a lot cleaner that the new 5-er, but I don't see how you...

I agree with the note above that points to BMW NA's oil change interval being driven by economics vs. good engineering sense.

I certainly don't have a scientific sample size, but a dozen cars...

...is going to be tough, unless the previous owner was really well-heeled. The trip to the dealer to track down records may pay off, that's what I did with my first BMW, but it was only three years...

...to want to keep it going after over 300K miles. If it doesn't have any rust, you may want to do it, but if it's rusting anyplace, then you're looking at a serious chunk of change to keep it...

I've driven Lexus, MB, and BMW, and there's no queston in my mind. The BMW wins in handling and is just about even in straight-line performance. You want an luxo-coupe? Certainly, go with Lexus or...

I also had a very good experience with Wheel Worx, although they're a bit of a hike from NOVA. Good service, fast turnaround. Cash only operation, and call before 2PM. They stop answering the phone...

I'm an Electronics Engineer in Baltimore. I work on various military systems. Love Bimmers for their excellent balance of technology and drivability.

Where is the vehicle distributuon center located? If it's in NJ, I would be interested, but to lure my wife along, we probably need to go visit a friend of hers that lives in nearby. Any problem...
