I was at the same decision point a couple years ago. I don't know if I'll ever 'break even' on the extended maintenance cost vs. going to an...
It is the engine mounts. The aluminum(!) bolts snapped. I also learned this is NOT covered by the CPO warranty and I am on the hook for $500 in...
I appreciate it. I'm going to take it in for a diagnosis.
The other day I was in rush hour traffic driving approximately 15 mph and heard a loud clunk from the rear of the car. It sounded like I ran over a...
How frustrating. How long is the car out of warranty? You could ask the dealer to request a 'good will' repair (I believe that's what it is...
Sniveling and bullying aside, if the string gets (keeps) people talking about the merits of improving(?) the 328i I have no problem with the...

Excellent advice. No doubt there is more overall performance to be gained through experience and growing my own talent around the car I have as...
Excellent point. I have been through a driving course at Bill Scott Racing and also a one day 'refresher course' through Crucible. However, to...
OK, I understand that the best way to get more car is to trade the 328 in for a 335, but that's not really an option right now. Bavarian Auto...
I decided my next tire change will include a switch from RFT to normal tires. Until the ride quality and cost of RFTs become a cost benefit (which I...
I have similar thoughts concerning brake pad replacement but am more concerned at this point with maintaining the same performance as the stock pads...
Any luck yet?
