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.

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!

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.

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?

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!!!

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!

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.
