Winter Wheels

Bought these for 2003 E39 525iT that I gave to my brother last year. He left the winter wheels and old tires, so want to get rid of them. Available free to anyone willing to come pick them up, or meet within 25 miles of 08873 zip code. Tires are still on them, but are past EOL. They are winter wheel...

Ray, thank you for the suggestions. I did use OEM Lemfoerder ball joints (I love how they scrape off the BMW casting marks), Powerflex bushings and the Drive Shaft Shop axles. I didn't measure the axles, but I have a feeling they are slightly thicker than OE, and generally gave a very well built imp...

2002 MCS Time Bomb?

Now that I got you reading the overly underused Mini subforum, maybe one of you socket wrench/sledgehammer wizards can help me diagnose an ongoing problem with my front end wheel/driveshaft/suspension. First, some history: 2002 MCS with 102K miles still had original suspension except the struts whic...

Thanks to all. I do have a high speed internet. And will keep the vhs options open if that is fine?

Brazilian Grand Prix

In the very longest of odds: Does anyone still have last weekend's F1 race in their Tivo/ReplayTV/PC etc? Looks like my cable went out during the race, and even though I know who won the race and championship etc, I would like to see the whole race. If there is a way to get a file/cd/dvd, heck even ...

I am feeling so left out from the e30 club.

Mini is now in B with R-Comps, how ridiculous is that? Maybe I can get points deducted if I leave the baby seats in?

Lord have mercy people, it was a joke. The punchline: everybody knows (or should know) all 4 hoo-hoos should have been history by 25 runs. That may be true if I were any faster. Some judicious tire rotation offset what Ivan already mentioned, the Mini and I go through front tires very quickly. Over...
