Its stock - but I still love it! Wish I had some bigger wheels though. Oh and that garbage can in the background ruined the picture
Not sure I can help with the other problems but you might want to close your doors next time

Yes, it is much too big for a sig my fellow Minnesotan. Try this one instead.

I PM'd you regarding the Midwest Meet I am organizing on Sat, June 6th. We would love to have you there.

2006 BMW 530i
20,000miles

2 problems I'm having with the car:
1. When I drive 70+mph on the highway - on the left lane - I have to hold the steering wheel to the right (I would say about 10/15 degrees). When I go on the right lane, the steering wheel is close to being straight - but I still have to hold it to the right a little. So - is this an aligment problem OR tire pressure? I called Sears BMW here in MN, and they charge $180 for an aligment check, while the dealership that I bought the car at (Lincoln/Mercury) charges $60. Where would be the best place to go and get this checked and repaired?

2. The middle air vents are noisey. When I turn the climate knob a little - you can hear a really annoying noise coming from the middle air vents. How and where can I fix this?
1. Call Motorwerks BMW in Bloomington 952-888-2700. Ask for Rick in service, tell him John Meyer told you to call for an alignment. Alignment is only $145 at Motorwerks and Rick will take excellent care of you. I am going to Motorwerks in the morning for an alignment and will mention to Rick that you will be calling. BMW is able to more accurately align their cars due to BMW's alignment equipment mounting directly to the rims. The small holes between the lug nuts on your wheels are specifically for attaching BMW's alignment equipment. Alignment shops attach to the tires and alignment is not particularly accurate.

2. Mine does the same thing.

BTW, what is your name so I can mention it to Rick.
