    good PS3 Move based shooting games (w/ sharpshooter)...

    I was pleasantly surprised how well Socom 4 played with the sharpshooter. I like it and keeping the game. KZ3 played great as well, although a little chaotic but I only tried the demo so far.

    Good bye 335, hello GTI!

    Your mortgage doubles when you are on a single income all of the sudden....bmw was a lease, vw is a buy...Was looking at the use car market but with 0% financing, free maintenance, new cars were making more sense...

    My lease comes to an end on the BMW in two months and even the dealer gave me good price to buy it out - 26900$ (KBB is 30100$) I can't afford it anymore. My mortgage doubled recently and took a 30% pay cut at work :(. So I was looking for something I can l drive for now that won't kill my...

    Expensive Car Purschase

    Saved $7K on brand new 335i by doing Euro delivery. Made a good decision to lease it since the car depreciated so much in last year. If I wanted to buy it out next year, it will be another $5K+ discount from the buyout price. No regrets here.

    Has anyone here ever considered European Delivery?

    I picked up my 07'335i in Munich. Spent 2 weeks in Austria, Germany and Italy driving around - the best vacation I everhad in Europe and I lived there for 16 years. Also saved $7K and received a free plane ticket through Lufthansa so the trip was preety much free. It took me about 6 months of...

    I just ordered one from Amazon for 244$ -100$ rebate yesterday. For this price its a steal - according to the reviews I read anyway. If I wanted to spend more, I would get the new panasonic dmz..something. The one with 12x zoom for 399$

    Enjoy life! If you can afford it -get a car you want, although I don't see a point of getting the same car with basically lower miles... Anyway, I have to give up my 335i because of the recent pay cut and a rise in home taxes. As long you have some money saved up, and have a job, be happy -...

    Hey Guys

    Every review I read stated that the steering and handling feel is very un-toyota like which shoulod be good enough reason to place it on your test drive list, right after Outback XT test drive, that is.

    Discount tire sold me 4 right tires....

    I would not buy the tires if I did not have to, but when you lease a car, you have no choice but to return it with same tires - these are runfalts too and I agree they suck! Although, when I got a flat last fall, appart of the tire monitor system in the car, you couldn't tell you had a flat...

    Discount tire sold me 4 right tires....

    Apperantly, I was wrong - "Asymmetrical tires are not directional" is correct. I thought that the tires were one directional and I was confused. It is still weird to me that the tread patterns do not match.

    Discount tire sold me 4 right tires....

    you can't just flip them around 180, since there is an inside and outside side to the tires.

    Discount tire sold me 4 right tires....

    So I spent 1500$+ on Bridgestone tires at Discount Tires ( they matched the tire rack price) and I realized that they are all the same. Amazing! Ther tires are run flats - one directional performance tires.

    I used owned ZX9R for 5 years and loved it. Then I discovered Italian bikes and could never go back to jap bikes again. The difference in riding enjoyment is huge, the V-twins rock! The only bike that come close for me are Triumph speed triple. By the way, the bike's soul that changed me...

    Thinking of a new car

    go to the subaru dealer, tell the salesman that you are interested in buying a wrx in a stick and you will pay him 100$ for an hour of his time if he teaches you to drive a stick. He must have many of older models he wont mind to use. Have fun - you will never want to drive a auto again. Good...

    Rear wheel drive SUCKS!

    I drive 335i with Dunlop M3's snow tires around Chicago area with no problem. You got to remember that you only have about 5" of clearance though. It is not a subaru but it gets me to work just fine.

    Caring for a turbocharged car

    Wow...prices sure went upsince 2007. I got the winter pacage for 450 (may be because of ED) and Logic 7 was standard on 335i. Its a great sound system, very clear sound and 2 subs under the seats.

    Caring for a turbocharged car

    Do they still make you order the winter package on the sedan to get reclingning rear seats? I thought it was kind of silly since its standart on the coupe. The heated seats are sure nice thought.

    Caring for a turbocharged car

    Check out the Dunlops M3's. Performence winter tires. I had them on my Subaru wrx and now on the 335i and they do excellent job in the snow and ice and on the cold dry pavement are quiet as a mouse.
