I modified a location near the drivers interior light switch to accomidate the supplied Alpine mic without looking goofy or out of place. I do like this x305s over the Alpine 9886 I have in the 95. The controls are more user intuitive and easy to operate without looking at the unit.  __________________

ordered jims swap manual and picked up a battery so i can fire the Ti up finally. She hasn't moved under her own power since 08'. Still won't be moving but it'll be nice to have an exhaust note coming out. | | | | | 11-06-2012, 07:51 PM | #2734 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Miami, FL Posts: 874 |
Bought a new battery home and some hatch struts they were starting to fail and I don't want to get hit in the back of the head like I did with my last Ti __________________

Bmw in general kinda just bashes you across your head every once in a while for one reason or another __________________

Probably to let it be known who the real owner still is. My wallet and time know who really has the controlling factor in this relationship. | | | | | 11-06-2012, 08:47 PM | #2738 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Miami, FL Posts: 874 |

36c is like a regular day here. That would be like 95F and Vegas is like 115F. __________________  | | | | | 11-06-2012, 10:54 PM | #2741 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Miami, Florida Posts: 483 |

My door lock actuator is also sticking due to low temps at night. I will have to replace that also. I think my new struts are from some American car, forgot which one. __________________ | | | | | 11-06-2012, 11:53 PM | #2742 | | Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Location: Richmond, VA Posts: 78 |
Yeah I need to get a set of struts front and rear. Or buy another snap-on hood prop. I think the struts are cheaper. | | | | | 11-07-2012, 12:06 AM | #2743 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 |
