Hey guys,
I'll reserve my formal introduction until I complete my purchase of my M car. In the meantime I've spent countless hours researching this forum for all things M related. Thanks in advance!
1) does anyone have the titanium trim piece that covers the ash tray for a 2000 M5? I've searched the parts link and they're all old posts reagarding this. I really don't want to have to shell out $300 for the entire shifter surround piece from realoem.com
2) what's the easiest solution to remove the phone in the center arm rest? The phone is missing and I'd either like to replace it with a "cradle" that I've seen pictures of, or get the european arm rest that doesn't have either.
3) Shifting seems a bit notchy in the morning, shifts become smoother as gear oil warms up. I see a lot of guys are running Syncromesh tranny fluid replacement. Does this help with the morning notchiness and overall smoother shifting?
4) will change oil to Castrol TWS 10w/60 once I'm in possession of the car. Until then, any place cheaper than Tischer for $17/quart?!?!
5) the NAV screen is dead. This also renders the radio inop after 5 minutes of playing. Can I just replace it with another 4:3 unit as long as that unit has been tested good? I'd love to have the 16:9 version at some point but just don't want to shell out the big $$$ on something like that just yet.
6) Any listers here from CO? I see very few sig lines with CO as an address. Would love to hook up with fellow M enthusiasts from around the area at some point.
Thanks!
Chad
