Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 11, 2009 5:55 pm) Yeah, you've got a point there. I forgot about that sound, although it never bothered me. I've never driven in one, but aren't those thickly padded and lined tops like on a Mercedes or Audi supposed to be very quiet? Replies to this message: bodble2 (Jun 11, 2009 10:23 pm)

Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 11, 2009 5:55 pm) Well, we get even more rain here in Vancouver!   Well, it depends.   When I lived in Richmond (where the airport is, for those who aren't familiar with Vancouver geography), the average annual rainfall was a fraction (a third or less) of the averages for the North Shore, where I also lived for a couple of years.   They grow hay in Sequim, in the rain shadow of the Cascades, while it pours not far away.   All of it is better than the desert.

(Although with that Fiat my friend would have been ecstatic if he only heard the water on the roof every time it rained, if you know what I mean! )

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Jun 11, 2009 7:19 pm) "All of it is better than the desert."   So then I wonder why do so many Canadians retire to Arizona. Must be for the year-round golfing, since it can't be for the hockey! Replies to this message: cdnpinhead (Jun 12, 2009 5:02 am)

Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 11, 2009 10:26 pm) Well, I'm not retired, but my wife is from here & the aerospace company where I've worked for 29+ years is here, so I'm here too, sadly.    Think of me the next time you go through Active Pass and watch bald eagles fishing for salmon. I used to do that, in my sailboat.
#1782 of 1809 nobody talks about roof rack for bike? by sonic2000 Jun 15, 2009 (5:37 pm)
Can somebody recommend where to buy this kind of parts? Like Thule TH460R. RB43. 3028, which bike carrier is better, etc. Thanks.
#1783 of 1809 Bike Racks by nyccarguy Jun 16, 2009 (7:36 pm)
I've got the Thule racks on my '01 Prelude and love 'em. They are super sturdy and once you figure out how to put them on, it is a quick and easy 5 minute hob to take on and off.
#1784 of 1809 A Question of the 128i by runningdoc Jun 23, 2009 (2:28 pm)
So a question for you owners of the 128i series. I am looking at purchasing one, and trying to get feedback from previous owners. In particular, I'd like your thoughts of the pros and cons of the car in your opinion... I'd appreciate any input or experience of current owners!   Thanks!

#1785 of 1809 where are these cars hiding? by pod Jul 12, 2009 (5:24 pm)
I would identify the 128i as my choice were I able to buy a new car at this time. I live in the Northeast and travel on interstates frequently as well as the usual local driving. Despite effort I have only seen one 1 series BMW in the two years since they arrived. I'm beginning to think that the car is a hoax like the moon landing. Where are they selling and showing?
#1786 of 1809 135i M-Sport versus std (ie sport) suspension by nkeen Aug 08, 2009 (5:46 pm)
Has anyone had a chance to compare the M-Sport to the standard suspension (with performance tires, not the available all-seasons which presumably bring a lower speed limiter with them) on the 135i? I assume both suspensions are the same and that the M-Sport is differentiated only by the use of the staggered tire set up.   The 1 series is reported to understeer more than the 3. If my assumption about setup is correct, does the standard car give more neutral (less understeer) handling than the M-Sport?
