You guys are sharp. We also have a BMW dealership across the street and they use an extra bay in my shop to do prep work. It really helps us compare the Beemers to our cars. Believe me- we can hang with the best of them in value and performance for the dollar! BTW- if you are thinking of changeing your rear lights- make sure you get the wire harness and turn signal bulbs too. I makes the job much, much easier!

Is that the incredible Jens himself? He spends so much time answering questions and doing homework for us...thanks guys. Almost wish I lived on the other coast, almost. Your dealership makes the two in my neck of the woods look lame.

Actually, you are right- BMW has bikes, too. they have one in the showroom across the street. Goes for around 3 grand I think. Beemers, Bimmers, that's why I'm an Acura guy! BMW makes fine autos (and bikes), but Acura has to be my first choice. Just my .02

Two things to notice;

1. The clean floors of the Park Avenue work area.

2. The very tall (and also clean) frame of Jens. It illustrates how roomy a Miata can be, for two riders.

Wayne, the amplifier resting in the TL trunck, was it installed at Park Avenue or by somewhere that Park Avenue recommends?

Thank you
Rob

Wayne as soon as you guys get audio upgrades at Park Avenue I'll call Peter in a nanosec. Hope it comes to pass. Btw how long would a brake line upgrade take if you know?

empeters, special thanks for all the useful info you impart.

Thanks
Rob

Yeah, they make pretty good bikes too I've heard... California Highway Patrol began switching over from the Yamaha's to BMW's last year, same goes for city cops....

In truth, those look like the sport package wheels for the '99 and '00 E46 series. Which would of been on the 328i only. Cleaned them too many times to know:

Rob- the stainless brake lines are $274.95 plus tax installed. really increase pedal feel.

Thanks for the response. Do the lines help any with stopping distance?
