I own an '06 M Roadster. I applied a polymer coating this Spring before I heard of EXO. It's a garage queen so it will last at least a year. As I stated, I did the minivan to test the durability. After all, paint is paint.

I did my car with the EXO treatment this past weekend. It is really easy. It is a clear liquid, not a gel. It is important to properly prep the surface. First I clayed the car. Then I polished it with a random orbital polisher to remove any wax. Then I rubbed it down with 1 part isopropyl...

Just wondering. When you are stopped, like at a traffic light, do you: 1. leave it in gear with the clutch depressed 2. pop it into neutral and lift the clutch #2 should be your answer. If not, 33,000 miles is more than enough to wear the thrust bearing out if you do a good bit of city driving.

Pardon my skepticism but as the originator of this thread I feel it is my duty to call you on this one. I'm not saying that changing your MTF didn't improve your shifting but I'm sure you didn't have the problem I originally described. If you did, changing the fluid would not have cured it -...

No need. I know exactly what you mean. Thank you very much!!!

Thank you. Do I just bend it until it comes out or press a particular end in a specific direction?

I have a '06 M Roadster with M seats (duh!). I frequently (once or twice a year) remove the seats and the only way I know of to free the seat belt from the seat back is to remove the whole guide with the 3 screws. The problem with that is whatever is inside the seat that catches the screws is...

I also had a loose strut brace. The nuts are under the hood right up against the firewall. I swore it was coming from under the dash. Took the instrument cluster out looking for it before I realized where the noise was coming from.

Are you tall? My seat was creaking and I noticed it was the seat back rubbing against the plastic trim above the rear speaker. Had to bump the back forward a bit to make it stop.

Here they are in black, standard wheels and suspension. Definitely more subtle on a darker car.

Went on BMW North America's web site. Why can I still "build" a 2008 Z4? Just trying to get you interested so they can refer you to a dealer to unload a leftover?

I ripped mine last year while removing the seats to do some work. It was about 1.5 inches long. I remember having to raise or lower the top during the process and I heard this awful sound. Later I saw the damage. I was sick about it at the time. I borrowed my wife's curved sewing needle and some...

I might be too late for this thread but I did Supersprint. Originally had the x-pipe and straight thru mufflers but it was too loud for my taste so I returned the x-pipe. Sounds much better. Still a bit loud - but hey, I'm 57 :cry:

That's my avatar girl!!!!

Probably not. The CDV delays the engagement of the clutch, notchiness occurs before you start lifting clutch pedal.
