Friends came by yesterday and took them on a drive..
I was showing off a little, goosing the throttle a bit.. :M5launch:
Anyways.. I eventually came to a stop and decided.. Hmmm
Let me try to warm up the tires a little.. So... I turned Sport on, and
DSC off.. I tach it up to about 6-7K dropped the hammer. and
vrooooom but no go... How embarassing..
So I tried it again..... Nooo goo....
Driven normal, seems just fine.. But with immitation of michael Schumcker..(sp)
the Beast isn't up to snuff...
Anyways.. AFTER researching local dealerships in the Washington DC area.
I come to the conclusion that Towson BMW in MD is the best local one around. DOES THIS STILL HOLD TRUE???? because its like a 2 hour drive
and I would like NOT to go that far and waste my time to get. FORKED...
h:
I do not think Inspection II was done on the car yet.. its at 75K miles .
So im ready to do:
Inspection II (CPO)
New Rotors/breaks..(pads look low, and rotors could be changed, thanks cpo)
New Clutch and any relevant componet i guesss.. (This will be the 2nd Clutch,
do you think the Fly wheel need to be changed?, again CPO)
Bushings/Shocks ( Hear clunking going over Speedbumps)
Belts/Hoses (CPO)
Airfiltters, Intake, Cabin (CPO??)
Oil, coolant, tranny, diff FLUIDS (CPO?)
SPark Plugs / Wires (CPO?)
Anything I am Missing??????
Oh yea.. is Transmission whine normal, on these cars??
I assume it is.. but you never know.. When radio is off
and driving.. you hear a transmission whine a little..
THanks for any imputs/advice :thumbsup:
