#30140 of 30156 BMW Performance Short Throw Shifter by akv25 May 12, 2009 (8:10 am)
Folks:   I am thinking of getting the short shift kit sold by BMW Performance Parts. The shifter travel is supposed to be decreased by 25% or so using the kit. Anyone have any experience using a short throw shifter, please share them. How does this compare with the UUC shifter?   Thanks! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (May 12, 2009 8:30 am)

Replying to: akv25 (May 12, 2009 8:10 am) I've used short shifters and they are great but they do increase shifter effort (it's a trade-off) so if you do a lot of traffic driving you may not care for this mod.
#30142 of 30156 carrying a kayak by kominsky May 20, 2009 (11:59 am)
Does anyone have a roof-rack and kayak carrier on their car? It seems like Thule and Yakima are the two big players. Any feedback on either of those two brands? Any other manufacturers I should check out?   thanks! Replies to this message: takafoomi1 (May 20, 2009 12:58 pm)

Replying to: kominsky (May 20, 2009 11:59 am) I have Thule bars and racks on my minivan, and previously had them on other cars for years. They are always superb in terms of quality and fit. I have a 2004 330cic which I'm likely going to get a trunk mount Thule because of my previous experience. If you go Thule or Yakima, you have to stay in that 'family' forever as they dont mix and match .. Yakima has round bars, Thule has squares..
#30144 of 30156 Gremlins on 323i by alibajalajaula Jun 06, 2009 (9:31 am)
I have a 323i, MY2000, with 85K on the clock. The DSC light come on while driving, no noticeable effect on the drive, then stays on, ignores the turn-off button , and then goes off, a day later. So does the check engine soon light: it comes on and then a day or two later it goes off. I took it once to a parts store and they read a code "cam sensor" but then it went off. Bottomline, these light come on and off at random, but there is no sympthom on the car drive at all. I have not taken the car to an indie shop among other things because of a hectic work schedule (in-out of town) but I wonder if this is sign of a more serious issue. Any thoughts? Could these be related? Replies to this message: bemer (Oct 23, 2009 9:15 pm)

#30146 of 30156 Passenger Side Mirror by densmith1 Jul 01, 2009 (3:03 pm)
I am having issues with my passenger side mirror not keeping its setting. When I unlock the car by pressing the remote button the mirror changes its angle. Is this a problem with the mirror or with the remote? Is there something I am doing wrong? I am driving a 2007 328i sedan and have the mirror switch pushed all the way to the left.

Replying to: densmith1 (Jul 01, 2009 3:03 pm) Just a guess, but it might have something to do with the driver settings. For example when you get in and adjust it, but don't set it as your driver setting the next time you open it, it thinks you want it to go to the memorized setting and changes on it's own.

Replying to: pylt1 (Mar 20, 2009 12:37 pm) Instead of re-pinning the connector could't you just cut the wires at the harness and splice a 10 gauge to them...ground the 10 ga on the chassis/frame? Replies to this message: pylt1 (Nov 17, 2009 5:41 am)

Replying to: alibajalajaula (Jun 06, 2009 9:31 am) My 323i was doing this for years. Switch to "top grade gasoline" and use only 91 octane. I had no check lights come on for last 3,4 years. It could be faulty sensor as well. Good Luck!
