From the detailed reviews, I would recommend the new Nexus 7. Sounds like a nice improvement in most areas. My wife loves her Mini iPad but she paid too much.

yeah, 303 works great on tires. I picked up this from the Bimmerforums a number of years ago. Pix look very nice.

Same here. Wolfgang Deep Gloss is my favorite. I have another wax from Chemical Guys which rivals it, but is a paste and so much more work.

Great cold weather riding oil!

Also good stuff for parallel twins like my Norton, in fact, probably the best - 20W-60 for Texas summers in the Commando.

Vaca, I have an '05 530i with Steptronic. The ZF we have on the e60 is proving to be more reliable than the GM tranny on the earlier e39 5 Series. So that is a plus. Why do you want to get the Shell M-1375.4? Just to change out or is there a leak? Yes, the dealer doesn't want to usually sell...

Saw the Blitz last week. ALmost bought it. DId oil change on the 530i and using the Mityvac pump cylinder to take to WalMart to drain. Won't chance it in the M Coupe.

If you get the Chicago Rotary, it is OK to learn on. The RPMs sink way low if you put any pressure on it at all, but it is a good learning tool. My tip would be to look at alot of buffing DIY Youtube videos before you attempt a buffer on a paint you would cry if you messed up on.

We are needing to renovate the 2-car garage (ie. the wife agrees ), and the first thing on the list is the drywall ceiling and three walls (two interior and one exterior sided). So I am exploring the possibilities. A coworker has a friend who installed an exterior siding material called...

Depends on the manufacturer's advice. For my wife's car, it takes 7 qts and no mention of less than full fill. But my car (Z4 M Coupe), there is a BMW TIS for the dealers advising fill to halfway between the marks on the dipstick. Of course, usually they overfill by a bit, which is definitely...

x3 on the 15W-50 or 20W-50 synths. Between M1,PP and SynPower, I would get the best priced jugs or when on sale stock up. All are very much up to the task of the M50 engine over 150k miles.

First Blackstone report. Break-in oil change at 1200 miles, then this first 4500 mile duration. Fuel dilution is due to city driving and traffic on way to work, apparently. Next report planned at 10,200 mile mark. =

I'd say that flashpoint may be a factor, so synths have an advantage, esp. Redline synth.

Great deal. I would have hit up my local store, but was driving by PepBoys and want to see if indeed they carried GC. Yep, it was there, about 12 quarts, including 3 with M06 date code. Deal was 5 qts & Fram filter $28. I mistakenly got a Fram for a Toyota Camry - was able to exchange at...

My wife has the 2005 530i. Maintenance warranty expires next week, with last dealer OC last week. Ive been changing every 7.5k (between scheduled OCs) with GC and Mahle filter. Great car, great engine. CPO warranty for another two years and will probably replace with entry 5 series in 2011.
