#21873 of 30156 let's talk about cars by sopecreek Feb 12, 2003 (9:28 am)
All I see/hear/read these days, pretty much everywhere, are about war and other grim stuff. This is one of few places I divert to from all those. I am sure they are important topics that affect our lives and I do follow them closely, but let's keep this board off those topics. Maybe somebody should open a new discussion title outside.
#21874 of 30156 politics and so on! by djocks Feb 12, 2003 (10:55 am)
Have I mentioned that I love my 330i ???   The one and only time I have ever made a purchase on the considerations of international affairs is when my wife and I bought 2 oriental rugs for our living room. I decided to buy the less expensive machine made variety to save money but also because of a special I saw on child labor in third world countries and the making of rugs! I am so happy with my BMW and I apologized if I seem ignorant to the supposed affiliation to the sad affairs internationally and the beautiful road runner I have outside my work right now. I just do not make the connection.   To make a somber note, I do not want to make everyone jealous but I just found out that a friend of mine was able to schedule a tee-time at TPC sawgrass next Wednesday when we are on vacation in Florida!!   I know none of you needed to hear that but, new BMW, 1st kid on the way in late August, playing sawgrass...I am kind'of excited right now and I am trying not to get bummed out by everything else!

This is a car discussion board and indeed we need to leave the politics for a more appropriate venue - outside of the Town Hall.   Thanks.

As I was scanning you last post, I briefly got excited. You see, in addition to being a fan of BMWs, I am also a Mopar fan, especially the cars from the 1960s and early 1970s, so, when I saw your reference to "... the beautiful road runner I have outside my work right now...", I initially thought you meant big "R" as in "Road Runner", a Hemi if you please, not little "r".   Have a good time in Florida, and rest up, you are going to need it come this August.   Best Regards, Shipo

#21878 of 30156 E46 Super Charger by abcnyc Feb 12, 2003 (6:12 pm)
Interesting. The supercharger parts have a 1 year warranty, but I wonder if the rest of the car will hold up. I'm pretty sure the M3 has some enhancements to handle the 3.2 liter 333 HP engine.
#21879 of 30156 BMW 330 Nightmare... by linard Feb 12, 2003 (6:15 pm)
My good friend just got a 2003 330i Sport and loaded with every single possible option for a total price for 44,000, anyway, it's been in the shop for more than 20 days now, actually, it went back in today as it spontaneously shed it's rear bumper which has never been hit or otherwise repaired. Anyhow, the navigation system module has been replaced, the car has been in 6 times as it won't start, the engine dies in traffic, and the electronics are always on the fritz. My question is, BMW is not accomodating him at all, he's not quite at the lemon law mark but he's close. What recourse does he have? The car has about 10,000 miles on it.

Why limit the boycott to french fries, french kissing, and sauerkraut? Stay away from those mean Belgian waffles too :o)
#21881 of 30156 re: Will high performance A/S tires work all year? by mschukar Feb 12, 2003 (8:43 pm)
heaterjohn-   It appears that nobody answered your question directly, so I'll chime in.   Yes, all season's should work for you all year round, but you will sacrifice both summer and winter performance. It's your call.   My 325i with sp handles wet conditions very well. I back off a little, but I've NEVER felt out of control in this car!   FWIW, I passed by a junk yard while traveling south of Indianapolis this week and saw a 325i with the front end smashed in. Indianapolis has had record snow fall this year so I was curious if it had winter tires. The next day I noticed the car had stock rims. Hmmm, I wonder if winter tires would have saved the front end?   -murray

Ouch. Sounds like your friend got a bad seed. It depends on what state you live in. Your profile says you're in California. California's lemon law says that a problem must be fixed within a "reasonable" number of repair attempts, and generally with serious driveability issues, such as the engine dying in traffic, it shouldn't take more than a few attempts to fix it to qualify, though it does vary on a case-by-case basis. If the dealership and BMWNA are not satisfying your friend, you may want to consult with an attorney that specializes in lemon laws.
