wow now she is smoothe

Had bad vibration at highway speed, and noise from front, so took it into AGA.

Figured maybe control arm bushings ? They tell me my tires are shot...hmm it had brand new tires when I got it, 11-12K miles ago...and they looked fine to me. inside edges gone and boubling ! Glad I did not have a blowout.


Just picked it up, and left the M3 for a few minor things.

Wow, scary smoothe...90-120 on the way home up the 15....soo smoothe like never before.

AGA also changed my engine mounts as one was leaking, valve cover gasket and a broken button in the dash (these items were all covered by AAAutowarranty) unfortunately they did not cover the tires !

One problem, after driving the M3 with Rouge SSK...the M5's shifter seems 3 feet long and anything but firm...kind of reminds me of a ford truck. even the clutch feel is way different (M3 has Rouge flywheel and clutch as well)

I am putting a Dinan SSK in the M5 as soon as practically posible.

Wow, I thought for sure I would sell the beast after getting the S/C M3..nut now I am not so sure.

As they say in denmark, some like the mother, some like the daughter, and then again some like both !
