Sorry to hear that, people just need to grow up. I totally understand how you feel, my ex-tsx got keyed in Brooklyn Park a week after i got it. Got keyed again in 2weeks after i got it fixed. Finally, i decided to move out of BP right away.

Get a garage.

Hi guys, I am planning to sell my car to free up some money, and here are the specs:

2004 TL 5AT
124,500 miles ( Its a DD )
Timing belt and water pump were done at 98k at Bloomington Acura,
3rd and 4th pressure switched were replaced 20k miles ago,
Spark plugs were done at 105k,
Tein Street Basic Coilovers were installed 4000 miles ago (Still have the stock one),
Rear mufflers deleted ( Still have the stock mufflers).

With Coliovers, looking for 9.5k OBO;
Without Coilovers, 9k OBO.

Well I had a slight scare today. I think I told some of you at the meet on Saturday my car had a SES (Service Engine Soon) light on for increased emissions and I was taking it to the dealer Tuesday for a diagnoses. Well they kept it overnight for observation and called me this afternoon it is a Pre-Cat O2 sensor that is bad and it will be $850. I was like my warranty doesn't cover this? And the SA was like no it is expired. To which I almost blurted out "The hell it is." but I actually said I'm pretty sure it is good for another 2 years or 20,000+ miles. The advisor said he'd put a call into the warranty company to see if it is covered and an hour or so later I got the call back it is a covered item just have to pay the $100 deductible but they don't have the part and it probably wont be in till Friday. So it kind of shoots my plans to go to the Ice Cream Cruise in Omaha this weekend in the butt.

I found this guy in Shakopee who is parting out a 2004 TL. I recall from our conversation from our last meet, that some of you guys were looking for some parts. Here is the link:

I'd pay $15,000 in showroom condition, no scratch, service all up to date and new tires.

$13,000 - $14,500 for fair condition

Expect higher in Navigation system

Big thanks to Nate for modding my headlights and doing a amazing job!
He cleared them out, zkw lens swap, switchback mod and he also put some new bulbs in all for a awesome price. I highly suggest him if any of you need headlights\tailights modded.


Here is a nice pic of the cutoff nate took.

A 530XI WEAK you should have gone balls out and got the M5 like I did anything less than an M5 is lame... Sorry my BMW doucheness took control over me for a second... Why don't you just slap some M5 badges on it you'll be the envy of all the guys on the M5 board http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60...r-fake-m5.html ... STOP that I'm having a struggle within.

But seriously I hope you like your new car what color is it where did you get it?

Thanks for the laughter, I would but I needed something awd for an all year round car. And Since I never owned a BMW before, I thought I give it a shot. I have that blue/black color can't think of it's code name at the moment. So far I love the ride, fully loaded and nice with only 60k on it.
