My Ride: 2007 custom Range Rover, 2005 745li, FULL custom 1950 mercury, chopped and flame throwers, 1930 model A rat rod, nasty little bastard!!
soon to be custom bmw 550 all white and black.
ok, so the car didnt need injectors, it just needed a new hpfp, which was replaced along with some upgrade that he said he did.
the car is running great,,..not to jinx myself,, took her out for along drive tonight and really got on it like he told me to.... remember i only had the car for a day before it broke so i never got a chance to really drive it..
Anyhow, for now I am keeping it, and my service advisors is the same guy ive been using for 3yrs with my 7series so we have a good relationship, and he was pretty straight up.
guess we will see how it goes...
i want an all black grill, who should i use? the black one on there has some chrome and i hate it....
thanks for everyones help during my panic the past 2 days, but driving it tonight reminds me why i bought the car to start with...
also has anyone ran a 295 rear tire on miros and 245 front 20s?
would a 295 fit with rolled fenders and hr lowered

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Great to hear you're happy with your car. I almost panicked there for you, but in the end, you still have a lot of warranty left and you can always trade it in before the warranty expires. Congratulations!!

What spacers do you have on your car to have your wheels sit out like that?
do i even need a spacer if i run 20' miros? i wanna run 245 30 front 295 25 rear? or is that too big in back?

no spacers on the miro's.. i had 15mm ones on my 172's, which fit nicely. the 15mms were too wide with the miros. at least they looked that way.. correct me if im wrong but i thought with 295's in the rear you may rub with 20's. im really not sure, someone will say.

Hopefully you don't have to invoke the 3 strike rule...
Be careful with the Miro's, E60's use Hub-centric wheels and if the hub hole is to big the rims can and will shift on the mounts giving a vibration and you will never find an inbalance with the wheel. Don't use plastic spacers... use good metal ones like H&R.
