Non Mini dealerships won’t do a good job servicing your vehicle. I took my car in to a local repair shop to deal with a couple small issues, as well as get an oil change. They couldn’t fix the issues I had with my car, and missed a very critical issue that my dealership found months later. So don’t rely on a non Mini dealership/repair shop to take good car of your vehicle.

So hurricane sandy totaled my hummer h3 when I was pregnant with my daughter, I had her Nov 3rd! Since sandy I’ve been carless for more then 4 months! I finally found a nice used bmw X3!

Does anyone have experience with carseats room in a bmw x3 (older x3) not the new body style!!This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only.

They don have ABS or TC and they much faster, plus they harder to set up. If you only have a little experience in the Ferrari GT3, I would recommend buying the Merc or the Audi and racing those in IMSA GT3, then progress up the ranks into GTE. The experience you gain will be worth it.Real racing drivers don jump the gun on what they race, so we sim drivers shouldn either, right?Hmm.

Once you confident in the car you want, pay $10 $20 for an “AllData DIY” account or another similar technical spec resource and you can see everything about that car from how to rewire the stereo to rebuilding the engine. As others have mentioned the only people who succeed in owning older luxury German cars are those who are mechanically inclined. Do you wana lay $2000 2500 for a full brake job from a dealer or buy parts from a third party and do it yourself for $400 all in?

Thanks for the reply. I curious, when you say your sons “love their screen time”, can you give more detail? I ask because my son basically begs constantly for it. On weekends for example he basically just follow me around begging until I get frustrated enough that I tell him if he asks again he won get any screen time for the rest of the weekend. If he in front of a screen, I swear I could walk away for 10 hours and he just sit there playing. My daughter eventually gets bored and will look for something else to do, and she never begs. I had some concern my son desire for screens is outside of what normal, but I don have any comparison so I don know if that true.

It probably will. The base is there for your convenience. If you use a seatbelt, you’ll just have to fasten/unfasten everytime you take baby out. You might decide that’s not a deal breaker. The carseat that wouldn’t fit in our car just couldn’t be made tight enough and couldn’t sit upright. If you made a sudden stop, the carseat would easily tilt backwards and baby would faceplant into the back of the seat. We tried everything, and I mean everything towels, pool noodles, etc. Everyone was sure I was installing it wrong, but sure enough, not even the experts could do it. Now it works great as a forward facing seat in my mom’s car.

Don forget your 140k is before taxes, you will also have bills like housing, food, etc.Buying a new car is more than just sticker price. You will have insurance, maintenance, sales tax, property tax (if your state does that), and BMWs are not the most reliable cars out there.Buy a used car with a reliable history, assuming you actually need one to get to and from work, and you be just fine.

With its four plants in Great Britain, BMW has now prepared itself for London departure from the EU on 29 March and has therefore brought annual maintenance forward from July to April. “This gives us scope for an orderly transition,” Wendt said. By stopping production in the weeks following the Brexit, BMW wants to reduce the risk of interruptions in the supply chain and restart as smoothly as possible afterwards.

Carl JungCarl Jung 7/26/1875 6/6/1961 was the father of some of the best known psychological concepts, such as the archetype, the collective unconscious, complexes, and synchronicity. Jung thought that the human psyche was by nature a religious one, and this was the basis of many of his studies. He was the foremost person to interpret dreams and analyze them for symbols of what was really on a person’s mind. Although he considered himself to be a scientist, much of his study was on Eastern and Western philosophy, astrology, sociology, alchemy, literature and the arts. Since he was so interested in what was then called the occult (the word now is metaphysics) many considered him a mystic.

There can be paradox in progress. Here is a simplified BMW design language, a startling economy of line and sculpture, married to enviable comfort and sophistication. This gorgeous coup is “still a car for driving”, says Starke,”that is paramount, but our design answers have to keep getting better and better; we must reach for perfection as we approach that axis of humans and machines.”

I searched old posts and came across a bunch with the BMW X3 and Diono seats in 3 across, but I need RF (rear facing) seat outboard for YDS. DH (dear husband) is looking at the X3 for his next vehicle, and I’m fairly certain there is nothing I can do to dissuade him. He needs to get a new car within the next month, realistically.

The fourth generation Eclipse marked a return to more rounded styling similar to the second generation, but it also shared styling components with other Mitsubishi vehicles of that period. You can choose between a 162 hp 2.4 L I4 or a 3.8 L V6 packing 263 horses under the hood. All of these will be front wheel drive, and there are convertibles available as well. Though you can find an old model from a private seller for less, a fourth generation usually goes for around $9000, so it’ll be out of the price range for most young people.

Had both codes! 171/174 my problem was the fuel pump the check valve built in side the pump was not holding gas pressure. Very hard to start crank over a long time also ran like crap! Like a missing feel. 2008 bmw 528i easy fuel pump replacement not a big deal! Runs like new again4 years ago

IMO, in equal cars they are def not by a mile (both not figuratively, and def not literally). VER, BOT, and, hopefully sooner rather than later, LEC would be well within 1 mile. Now, as far as experience, yes, these are the most experienced drivers. The con to experience is that it comes with age.

Using the same chassis and suspension as the MK4 Roadster, this one not only adds a roof but probably the sweetest rear on any car ever made! It was the result of some serious aero work done to beat Ferrari. Sadly the car never went anywhere, because the year after, Ford not only moved Shelby across to the GT40 program but sunk their race budget into beating Ferrari on European soil.

In 1984, Toyota brought out the surprising MR 2, which was very different from the practical and uninteresting family sedans that made the manufacturer successful. The first generation (1984 1989) was extremely lightweight and featured, like all generations to follow, an MR (mid engine rear wheel drive) layout more commonly found on supercars such as the Ferrari F355 and Lamborghini Countach. The combination of lightweight chassis and perfect front rear weight distribution via the mid engine layout resulted in a car that handled like a champ and didn’t need a huge engine to provide sufficient performance. The 1.6 L inline 4 only produced 112 hp but could hit 60 mph in just over eight seconds.

Most Ford vehicles come with a complimentary three year subscription to the Sync services which you will have to renew every year. You won’t be charged the subscription fee before your complimentary subscription has expired. However, you must renew your services account each year so that Ford may know if you will continue to use the service and that your information is current in their database.

8. (Saloon)s are comfortable and lovable cars, and they are also the most common body style. These are commonly 4 door cars with 4+ seats. They are fully covered with a fixed rooftop and have full height all the way to the rear windows. s are also known as ‘saloons’ in British English.

Yeah, but the vast majority of Brooklyn aren Nets fans. They Knicks fans, they always been Knicks fans, their kids are Knicks fans. It not just people in Manhattan that are fans. Speaking as someone who lived in NYC for almost a decade, and was not originally from the area, you see Knicks gear no matter where you go. People are wearing Knicks jerseys in all 5 boroughs, in Westchester County, in Rockland County, in Dutchess County, in Nassau and in Suffolk.

Someone eventually pays for it.It was, as the experts here knew, the 12V battery. Replaced on warranty, and all is well.Lingering issue is the battery died in 30 months and 8500 miles. If that an expected life, I hope there a source for non OEM batteries at some point. Near as I can tell, no one else sells a battery that fits/works in the i3.Otherwise, this is a great car.

Want to read your engine fault codes on your own? Most modern cars have Engine Control Unit (ECU) computers that monitor engine functioning, and you can connect to the computer through a standardized port called an OBD II (OBD2) port. First, determine if your car has an ODB II port, get a OBD II reader, connect to your car and you can read any fault codes to find out what the ECU is reporting. You can easily Google those codes with your car make/model/year and find out more information about what other’s may have reported as the likely fix for the problem.

Jack walked over and slid onto the bench next to the fox featured woman casually. “Some people, right?” She hooked a thumb over her left shoulder towards the argument. “Are they bothering you? You have this bfakn.club concerned look on your face. I’m Jack Knife by the way, but you can call me Jack, it’s so nice to meet you! Are you new to GBN? Can I touch your tail? It looks so soft!”

Yeah the concerns I have lie in the basics. For example, there’s discussion on TMC about things like the steering wheel not being straight at “neutral” on many 3s. To most people this is a small detail. Many may never notice. But to me, as someone who cares a lot about driving and precision, that would be an issue. So if SCs say it’s not a big deal, and owners say it’s not a big deal, all because the product isn’t aimed at enthusiasts, then that’s a potentially greater issue. It means, among other things, that the car isn’t for me.

It be an easy car to make since everything they need is already in place and GM can badge engineer with the best of them. Make it a little plusher and softer than the Camaro but leave the crazy bells whistles for the Cadillacs make it solid, sensible luxury like a Buick should be keep the same drivetrains if they don want to spend money certifying new ones, slap some GS badges on there and done. Something more grown up than the Camaro for people who graduate from ponycars to BMW/Audi/Mercedes but don want the complication of owning a German car and/or want/need every high tech gadget right out of Q lab.

They don’t need to win one Sunday to help sell on Monday. People will buy BMWs regardless and having a winning reputation won’t likely do much to boost sales. Just looking and riding their first iteration of the S1KRR it is very street oriented and friendly bike compared to the rest of the superbikes being sold.Even with current concession perks for returning and new manufacturers, there isn’t a significant enough of an incentive to build a prototype to the standards of Ducati, Honda, and Suzuki right now.

OK, it might not use a Lamborghini V12, but it does let you fit a BMW V12! The early 5.0l from the late ’80s can be picked up cheaply and tuned up nicely to 400bhp+, and that will be enough for most! You’ll still need to source your gearbox, but most of the other components to complete this car are available from Parallel Designs, including at 6.0 VT and GT bodies. For a basic car using the Rover V8, expect to pay 25,000 and up and probably another 2000 for the V12 (with better gearbox, brakes and some engine mods.)

The Kurdish Peshmerga fighter decided to invest in an armored car, but he had little clue the vehicle would end up saving the lives of dozens of people.After shopping around, he settled on a bulletproof BMW, and paid $10,000 for the early 1990s model at a car auction.”My friends were very happy when I bought the armored car,” he tells CNN. “We started driving in it to the front line near Kirkuk, not worried about ISIS drive by shootings or roadside bombs.”Abdulrahman, 32, lives with his wife and four children in Taza Khurmatou, some 23 kilometers south of Kirkuk.On October 21, dozens of ISIS militants carried out a coordinated series of attacks on the oil rich city, targeting security forces and civilians in several neighborhoods; 64 died and 86 ISIS militants were killed.More than 100 civilians and security personnel were wounded; many of them were left stranded because of ISIS militants’ indiscriminate firing, while others were trapped by the terror group’s snipers shooting from rooftops.ISIS sniper fireAbdulrahman knew he had to act.”I told myself, this is the right time to help people, this is the right moment to do it. I am a fighter and I have a bulletproof car, shame on me if I can’t help,” he says.

“And we recently in our rebranding event announced a partnership with BMW. Actually we are working with on a project with them right now and it going to be finished probably around in April or in May and BMW is going to announce the details of that project later in the next two or three months.”
