2003 530iA - 58k miles - not mine, but . . .

I saw this on Craigslist and went to see it twice. As much as I tried, I couldn't justify bringing another automatic car into the fleet . . . It will need some attention, but it would make a fine daily for a young driver. PM me if you'd like my review. https://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/d/livingston-i-b...

Re: Low dust brake pad suggestion for my 2001 M3

Ditto on Akebono Euro Ceramics. Hawk HPS used to be my go-to low-dust street pad. I have them on my E46, but tried out the Akebonos on my E39. The Akebonos produce noticeably less dust than the HPS, and have better initial bite. I was hesitant to get the Akebonos because I installed them on our Mazd...

Shop near Newark to replace E61 water pump?

An old car buddy from Chicago is considering buying an E61 out here. Before he drives it back to Chicago, he'd like to have the water pump preventatively replaced. Can anyone recommend an indie shop that is open on weekends to handle this?
Thanks in advance.

Re: E39 Test Drive?

I think I am in the market for a 2000-2003 E39 540i. I would love to meet up with a member that has one so i could take it for a quick drive to make sure I'm not wasting my time. I've looked on ebay/craigslist, but I thought an enthusiast would be a better choice. I'm located in Morristown but my l...

WTB: E46 Fan clutch and fan shroud

Update 1/18: All buttoned up thanks to Warren's Auto Parts being open on Sundays. The only way my 323iA's fan clutch would come off was while it was still attached to the water pump. The good news is:1) it was unseasonably warm today; and 2) I was planning on replacing the water pump anyway. The bad...

Re: Help! Alloy wheel repair - Morris County

I bent the inside lips of both right-side wheels on a killer pothole earlier this year. I took them to USA Wheels in Fairfield. They were ready for pickup the day after I dropped them off. They look like they'd never been bent, and I've had no issues with balance or vibration since.

E30 14" Bottlecaps and E46 16" Style 54s

Picked up two new sets of winter wheels/tires, so I need to clear out what I'm not using . . . Set 1 -- E30 Bottlecaps: The wheels are in OK-ish cosmetic condition. Tires are mismatched and low on tread, but hold air. Mount up some snows, use them as rollers on a parts car, use them as planters or b...

No the Car is bent and I am not touching it till I find a new one. Then I will be selling or parting out. Thanks Sean Still searching. Sorry to hear about the wreck.

I have seen a few manual trans Mazda5s out there. I've seen two -- in my driveway. Gobs more room inside than my former E34 Touring, super-low maintenance and surprisingly nimble. If your wagon must have a roundel and a manual trans, the only E34s that will fit the bill are ones that have been conv...
