Don't worry, no way I'm getting a VW outside of an Audi, but even then, I don't plan on getting an Audi because I don't want to take the front bumper off just to do certain maintenance.
Ironically, after posting all this stuff, it seems that my car has "corrected" itself. The SES light is off, and the idle has been corrected. The only thing now to fix is my front right turn signal, as the bulb keeps going out. Honestly, I'll take that over what I was dealing with.
HAHA, at least your right, front turn signal works some off the time. I lost the socket housing in the wreck. I have the turn signal, but no way to plug it into the car. Know where I can get on of these? I'll have to splice it in.
I decided not to lower the car. The mileage is too high IMO, and honestly I plan on bailing on it when it hits 180k+. So I really don't want to bother with losing money on mods until my next car.
I will be interested to see how the Koni's feel though!
New Kentucky BMW guy here. Bought a 2002 325xi about a week ago. I am absolutely in love. Been in the 4x4/Rock crawling world the last few years and now life has turned around and I wanted something new, so why not BMW? I am up in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area. Buying mostly maintenance parts right now just to prevent any of the stuff that is prone to failure (ie, entire cooling system replacement, general tune up - oil, filters, spark plugs, bla bla) and then also bought some goodies (clear corners and side markers, bought a set of OEM Bi-Xenon lights that I am going to install along with some Angel Eyes, M Shift knob, and some other little stuff). Should be fun to work on the car and hopefully I can come out to one of the meet-n-greets soon and meet some local people.
Forum is so full of information, I'm very impressed. Glad to be here!
Yeah I have always done stuff myself, so this should be fun. I should be alright doing what I have planned, but I am looking for an independent shop or two just to have as a reference for when/if I need work done. Anyone know of any good ones in the state (preferably NKY, Lexington or L-Ville area)? Also, any meet-n-greet type of events or anything coming up soon? The car is pretty much stock right now, but it would be nice to meet up and meet some new people.

Well every second Sunday of the month (schedule was just changed to this) there is a BMW meet at Shay's (I think that is how you spell it) Mongolian Grill off of Warnock Ave. It literally is right off I-65 by the U of L campus.
I saw a black 330i today at Neville-Meade golf course today in Oldham. It had an M3 rep bumper and M3 rep wheels and a BMWCCA sticker on the window. That happen to be a fanatic here?
Drove by Shah's today around 4-ish and saw a few cars parked out front. It didnt look like much of a turn out, but the few cars that were there looked nice.
Got rear-ended then pushed into a truck. People really need to be more cautious when its wet out. Needless to say its totaled. It needed a hood, core support, radiator + fan, both corner and headlights, left foglight, left fender, grills, grill filler panel and a few other things.:thumbdwn:
Dude, that sounds sweet! I went to a track meet at Papa John's last year that was cool, as well. My wife is due on May 12th, so I probably won't be able to make it!
Thanks guys! It definitely sucks, but i'm more irritated that I just put a radiator, water pump and thermostat in it not even 1k miles ago. As much as I like the car I think i'd rather take the money and put it into the E46, after I started it to move out the road it wasn't sounding too healthy.
ice2003- can't wait to see how it comes together!
330iJohn- I got the same e-mail today, i'm almost positive i'll be there!
Still can man, it is in May! Seems it is free. I have learned from a gentlemen who works there your average 328i cars won't be there!
