With the weather being all funky, I wasn't able to wash it until just recently. I couldn't believe how white it was. It was bright!! haha! I need to put some 4star on it again.

Haha, yeah I love the parts I have on my car. I don't think I'll ever get rid of them.
Haha, nice! Yeah, I actually made some time to wash my car Friday morning. I originally had planned to wake up at 5:00 AM but actually didn't get up until 5:45 AM. With me having a FBP car, I definitely had to get up that early to avoid the sun. Luckily enough, I was able to properly wash it and spray it down with some OCW for some temporary protection for now until I find time to properly detail it.

Fully loaded Alpine white on Black interior with Navi/heated seats/ipod adapt/ power seats(fronts) folding mirrors and everything.. A/T
40k for a freakin 328... i'm in shock right now, lol...
And to think about the depreciation of the BMW's... I don't think it's worth it =\
Anywho.. anyone know what exhaust ronnie has?? I seen some dude down here with the same exact exhaust on his black GT-R and OMFG it was amazing.... Dude was in his 20's, looked korean... Makes me wish i had a GT-R.

Asked about it and the dude told me they dont have coral red interior on the sedans.. Is that true? Thought I seen it before..
And this is for a Sedan, not the coupe.. The fam won't settle for a coupe, lol.
2010's? or 2011's?
I really want her to get a 335i, .
Either way, after break in, i'm going to sac-raceway with it, haha

the 335 is SO much better though. Such a great, balanced car. Torque is smooth, linear and available at like 1500rpm. Turn traction control off and its just a blast to drive, so easy to have fun with it. Although I like the coupe looks better, the shorter wheelbase on the sedan makes it easier to get sideways
BMW did a minor face/tail lift on the 2010 3 series sedans, dunno if you sister will care/notice that though.

Love the new facelift. I wonder if they will change the design in a year or two. What I don't like about the sedan is the rear. I don't know what they were thinking when they made it, but IMO, it just doesn't look that good. Felt really differently with the e46's sedan and coupe though. Love them both equally, but prefer the coupe.
I'd love her to get the coupe but once in awhile, my parents will want to drive it and they are getting to old to "hop in the back seats".
Pops should know all about that, that's why he settled for the evo, 4 doors. LOL

finally got to drive the X5M today. Its been sitting in the showroom forever and they finally put it as a special so that means pics need to be taken
the thing is fast, but a weird fast. I mean its fast as hell but it feels so odd that theres so much torque in something so heavy, huge and high. The torque is really something, in 1st you'll hit the rev limiter before you realize it and it chips 2nd It pulls great though 1st and 2nd. Steering feel is actually pretty good and handling is about as good as you can get for an SUV. Its fun for quick, straight lines. I cant imagine what this though would be like off road.
The #1 best thing about it though..is that I'm excited to see what the F10 M5 is going to be like since it's rumored to be using the same TT V8 that's in this car. Now that thing will be a BEAST since it can you know, actually handle
It has this awesome camera setup that uses multiple cameras to display what your car looks like and the immediate surroundings.

Hello Bay area guys, I recently got an Acura TL 2000, and its my first car!
I have had some vibrations on braking..and looks like its a brake rotor/pad issue. (https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/vibration-when-i-apply-brakes-775785/)
Can you guys pls suggest me some good auto shop where I should be taking my car. Its an oldie, 108k miles, so I can compromise on quality (not too much) if it saves me some $$..
Also, is it a DIY thing?
Thanks
