The first official announcement from BMW!

FS: Breitling Chrono Cockpit

Hey guys and gals,

I am looking to sell my Breitling Chrono Cockpit that I purchased from Philippes Watches in Beverly Hills, CA. Box and papers are not included with the watch. Please let me know if you would like to see additional pictures.

Condition: There is 1 scratch on the bezel and marks from normal wear on the bracelet/clasp. This was my daily piece for probably a bit over 1 year. Has not seen much wrist time since I picked up my Rolex GMT Master II.

I am looking to get $2,500 for this piece. I welcome a face to face transaction or payment via wire transfer. At this time, I do not want to entertain lower offers because I would just rather keep the watch.

As a reference, I am becoming more active in the LA watch community and you can check out my instagram for proof: @alex.bski ( http://ift.tt/1O3OBZq )

Volkswagen scandal: Choice car test points to other fuel guzzlers

CHOICE magazine found in tests of SUVs and people movers, luxury brands exaggerated fuel consumption claims by 30% (across all brands it was 13%...no surprise). A Lexus and a Merc were 36% and 43% higher respectively.

Anyone else on Torino?

She left Bremerhaven yesterday, due in NJ on 10/14.

My M235i is getting here sooner than I thought, at that rate. Baring any issues in customs, etc. I dropped her off in Paris on 9/11, and she was still sitting in Paris as of last Thursday.

I'll be doing Performance Center Delivery, hoping I can get the first week of November.

FF and EWG Wires and E85

Recently I used e85,approximately 5.5 gallons and the rest 91.

Ran map 0,map2, map 5,and map 7.

Holy heck, the e85 ran fine with that mix, and the torque and power was so much more than map 0. As soon as you go wot the torque kicks in and pulls you back and the acceleration is much higher than normal.

Also, was wondering, does higher octane increase the crackling, burbling sound from the exhaust? 91 only isn't that loud, but on e85 downshifts, the crackling exhaust sound sounds like a loud bang, almost like a gunshot went off. It did that twice in front of two gorgeous ladies, they stopped mid convo and just stared like omg.

Also, what can the ewg and FF wires do to increase power?

Market survey: Crowdfunding for the car enthusiast?

I thought you guys would be a good group to survey since after all, we're all car enthusiasts here. I'm interested in your thoughts as to whether or not you see a crowdfunding market for not only new cars but used cars, OEM parts and of course aftermarket parts?

If you're not familiar with crowdfunding, crowdfunding is a method for people to raise money from friends, family and outsiders for pretty much anything. While I understand owning a car is a privilege, you might not get the same financial help from your supporters as you would with someone campaigning for medical bills their insurance won't cover. However, if someone who has cancer had a wish to drive a Ferrari for a day then maybe a crowdfunding campaign for a Ferrari driving event would make more sense?

Either way, interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

Mike

Ordered my winter tires, but what about TPMS?!

Hey folks,

I ordered my winter tire/wheel package a couple nights ago through TireRack, and when I was checking out on the site, they gave me an add-on option to have them install tire pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS) before they're shipped. I think it costed something like $265, which I opted not to do.

But now I'm wondering if I should have. What's the more common thing to do with winter tires: take the TPMS from your summer tires and put them in the winter tires, or buy a separate set and have those in your winter tires? My concern is that transferring TPMS from set to set every winter/summer means take the tires off the wheels (I think) regularly, which isn't good to do.

Should I go without TPMS over the winter, buy new TPMS and have my dealer install those in the winter tires, or transfer my TPMS from the summer tires to winter tires and keep trading back and forth?

Anyone with High Beam assistant??

I have m235i with high beam assistant. The website and literature (and youtube) show the system as utilizinf the dynamic lighting to surround cars in fron and drop the left oncoming lane as cars pass.

Mine, however, is simply on or off. On completely dark country roads there is auto high beam on . . but when cars approach or i approach from behind, it simply turns off High beam. After slight delay, will go back to high beam, but not "dynamic" as advertised.

I have adaptive headlights, and in case it mattered i tested while the lane departure was locked onto lines, in case that was part of the adaptive dipping logic.

Does anyone else have simiar experience or perhaps the proper experience? I did not see any advertised differentiation based on the series (2 series vs. 3, 5 etc.).

Thanks.

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R at the BMW Concept Store in Paris, France

So I came back from my honeymoon a few weeks ago and lo and behold, I see the BMW CSL Hommage Concept being delivered to the BMW concept store in Paris, France (Ave. George, off Champs-Élyseés). Normal opening hours was from 10AM, but they had stopped me from letting me in because they had a "special delivery". I did stick around for a little bit to see what was going on. I'm glad I did.

If anyone is in the area, visit the store and you'll see it right in front (unless they had moved it since).

Edison Concours d'elegance - October 18th, West Orange, NJ

http://ift.tt/1O03H1P



The first Edison Concours d’Elegance, to be held October 18, 2015 (9:00 am to 4:00 pm) on the historic grounds of Glenmont, the home of Thomas A. Edison, will be a spectacular event showcasing the best examples of classic cars from around the world. The Edison Concours, will be unique as it will be held at Glenmont, a National Historical Park, which is set within Llewellyn Park, the first planned community in America. Llewellyn Park was founded in 1857 and many of the great homes owned by Edison's neighbors, the Colgates, Stetsons, Chubbs and the Mercks, still stand within the park's idyllic 400 acres of landscaped woodlands.

The Edison Concours is an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of over 90 classic cars and Llewellyn Park and, at the same time, to explore and connect with some of our nation’s history of innovation and allow all to learn about our rich automotive heritage. The planners of this event are working with sponsors, volunteers and the Township of West Orange to produce this event, which will benefit three very worthy non-profit organizations: The Edison Innovation Foundation, The Llewellyn Park Preservation Foundation and The West Orange Scholarship Fund.

Hey all,

I haven't found a place for new members to post introductions so I thought I would do it here. Since I can be rather long-winded, I'll save you all the trouble and just cliff what I was going to write.
  • 26 M
  • Married
  • From middle of nowhere WI
  • 08 328i (first bmw)
  • Hydraulic Design Engineer/Graduate Student/Teacher at local university
  • Hobbies include working out, robotics and various outdoor activites (love to hunt)

So I'll just end it there. The car is in pretty decent shape but needs some cosmetic love which I have already begun to correct. Nice to meet y'all.

Stainless Steel Pedals

I want to grab a set of the M Performance Stainless Pedals to complete the look, but at $100+ it seems a bit steep for something so simple.

Has anyone seen or purchased these for their car? If so, can you comment on the quality, etc?

I know they are probably cheap, but the reviews say they are ok, and realistically they are going to get destroyed in the winter regardless.

http://ift.tt/1VoX4H0

I hope BMW M looked carefully at the N55's weak points and improved them for the upcoming M2!

B58 seems like a very strong and solid capable motor out of the box. Maybe the M2 CSL will have a B58 M variant in it?

Thanks Technic.... for the memories!

Someone posted last night that he got banned ... i don't know why either. But I responded to the thread. Eventually the thread was deleted, and i'm guessing this one will be too. Lets see how long it takes :D

Just wanted to publicly acknowledge how helpful the dude was to all us BMW and especially audio enthusiasts who wanted to upgrade/mod our audio systems to something better. The guy was unlike other sponsors in that he was actually helpful and was more or less one of us - regular everyday joes who cared about our cars and wanted to help the community in providing timely information on how to do audio upgrades. Because he's been around so long and was so knowledgeable on these boards, he could at times be a little bit of an a** h*** but i guess theres some of that in all of us who own BMWs.

But that brings up another subject about sponsorship. I get the general idea in that sponsors are here to make money, and the forum owners need money to keep these boards running, so sponsors get charged a fee/subscription for the privilege/right to post their "ads" to a very targeted demographic they are trying to sell to. A match made in heaven.

But Technic was in a special category though... he was almost certainly a sponser, as everyone went to him for this audio harnesses, but he almost rode a fine line between a regular forum member as well. I'm guessing the ban was related to crossing over that line. But i don't know that for sure.

In any case, hats off to you bro! Hope they let you back in here, and thanks once again for all the informative stuff you've posted over the years. Most of them have been bookmarked!

Who has some nice car cover recs? I have a garage and a car port but my garage gets very hot and I am concerned that the heat might mess with anything adhesive. I am looking into options to cool my garage but it has no windows and is detached from my house. I have a studio connected to my garage with air conditioning. I thought about leaving rah studio door open that leads to the garage but that could get expensive. I live in San Diego, CA. Thanks.

My new 2016 228i M-Sport!

I just took delivery a few days ago and I am absolutely blown away by this car. About 230 miles already on her. :love: Definitely counting down the miles until break-in is over! I am coming from a 2012 GTI and while that car will always be fun to drive in it's own right, this one is just leagues above in almost every way. Having rear wheel drive (finally!) feels awesome and to put it lightly, the BMW driving experience is confidence inspiring like nothing else I've ever driven. I have been a BMW fan all of my life so this has been somewhat a dream of mine from a young age. Also, I feel that this is close to the definition of classic BMW, in both styling and road feel. Hard work definitely pays off! I custom ordered it and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Specs--
2016 228i Coupe
Glacier Silver on Coral Red with Brushed Aluminum and Black Highlight
M-Sport
Technology Package
Lighting Package
Driver Assistance (having a rear view camera & sensors now is awesome!)
Premium Package
and Heated Seats

Here's some photos I took while on a lovely canyon drive (don't mind the bug splatter) and then now, after it has been freshly tinted (35% all around). Any members here around SCV?
