canada goose jacket?

I've been in and out of dealer shop recently and was chatting with the guys and noticed they have been very busy lately and ask why. Service manager told me that lots of the cars they have been working on are vehicles from south of the border that don't have the cold weather stuff that the canadain cars are fitted with and have been having trouble in our recent deep freeze. Now how true this is I'm not totally sure as I am not aware of really any differences in terms of parts for Canadian cars and american cars? In terms of the speedo and climate controls I don't see why they need to be changed, the american speedos have km's on them.

so american speedos have kms/h on them? how come mine doesnt have miles/hour on it?

Yup. At least all the pics that I have seen on the internet of inst panels on US models show mph in primary text and kmh in a smaller font. Don't get me going on why stuff for up here is different. I guess it's part of why we need to spend 10 to 15 grand more for for the same car!!!

too solid your car is sick

why you selling it?

im in the market for a white 535/550 but your buy out seems to high for me.

Thanks buddy! The seats in my 535 KILL my back! It's also annoying get in and out of the car (I'm 6"2, 275lbs) those are the main 2 reasons. Plus I just bought a snowmobile and will be going up north alot, plus I need something to haul it around with.

If youre interested in the lease let me know, changed to first 3 payments and will throw in the splitter, exhaust, springs and brake pads!

Note that everything is off as of now and my car is back to stock!

Where did you get your Miro wheels in Toronto? I'm looking for a set and am wondering how your experience was with the shop you went to?

I purchased the wheels from Cali! A place called BavarianX. I would never recommend anyone to them. Mousy company with terrible business etiquette. I waited 4 months to get my splitter which they said would take 1 and 1/2 months tops. I finally recieved it and it was the wrong one! Made for M5 only! About 1 and 1/2 months later I finally got the right one, but with no mounting hardware! They were supposed to refund me ($300) for paying the duty on the splitter twice and to get my wheels and tires rebalanced and tpm sensor install (because they sent me the wheels and tires without tpm sensors). After about 20 phone calls and a lot of hounding I finally got my money in the mail a few weeks ago. I still have the M5 splitter taking up space in my office! BavarianX is by far the worst company I've ever delt with by a long shot and I can't wait to not speak with anyone from that company again!

I searched every wheel place in Toronto and nobody offered the Miro's anywhere! If you're looking for a good deal on wheels and tires not to mention great people to deal with contact trinityautosport.com

Contact member Trinity Autosport (Joe) who is the president or nerweezy (nerwyll) either of them will be happy to help you with what you need and give the best price possible! I've purchased from them before and everything always goes very smoothly! Great guys!

Keep us posted.

Did you have this done through Brian Jessel? How long did they have your car? Did they give you a loaner?

Damn, timing is a funny thing.

Except for the fact that you don't have Nav, your car is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Unfortunatley, I have to unload my 2006 M3 before I can jump on anything. My family is expanding, so I need a bigger car, but my car is leased and with all my work travel, I haven't had a chance to get it listed.

I'm going to try to get it done next week, but I'm pretty sure I wont get rid of it in time to work something out with you... I'll keep an eye out though.

Nice ride.
