Greetings! Our beloved '04 Volvo XC70 family vehicle which we purchased new was totaled a few weeks ago on an interstate. Thankfully nobody was seriously injured and my wife was not at fault. I've have decided not to purchase new and have the following requirements: 1. Tow at least 3,500 LBS...

NSX brothers, I have been asked to find a scalable outdoor surveillance solution for a body shop. They would like to start out with three IP cameras and scale to approximately 12. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Over the past few months, I've been thinking about consolidating my summer and winter cars and just have one. I personally think the GT-R is ugly however I've never purchased a car just for looks :wink: I have a few questions: 1. How expensive is the maintenance such 15k, 30k and so on. 2...

Damn nice & the best color ;)

I vote Evolution IX.

I owned a 2000 Honda Insight in Citrus Yellow Metallic. I absolutely loved the car! In the city, I was getting high 50MPG to low 60MPG, highway MPG was in the 80's :eek: Most 2000-2001 Honda Insights had the batteries replaced under a factory warranty which included software updates. The...

I just verified the Specialist seats are visually identically to the Trophy. I personally love these seats but they are designed for a narrow / skinny body. You will rub against upper and lower side bolsters when you get in and out of the vehicle but they fit you like a glove. I have driven...

Thank you! I monitor this site daily =)

I went to a BMW dealer today. Unofficially the '01-'02 had no S54 bearing recalls. Officially, run the VIN to check for recalls. The service manager told me the reason the RPM's were changed from 8,000 RPMs to 7,600 RPM's is due to placement in //M model line up. His example was you don't...

You just scared the crap out of me :eek:

You have the year and color I want! What color is the interior? I've been told the S54 M coupe owners didn't qualify for rod bearing recall due to BMW lowering RPM to 7,600. Is that what you understand? Cost wise, how much will I need to pay to replace rod bearings? Thank you for your...

Did Recaro update seat names? The first seat look very similar to the Trophy seat offered during the 90's. If so, its an amazing seat however I'm not sure if its the proper seat for a truck. What are you doing with your truck to need Recaro seats? I recall a Recaro dealership in Fremont...

Thank you for your comment. Due to its rarity, its been hard for me to personally speak with owners. I did not want to ask this question on a BMW forum for obvious reasons :wink:

I believe the e39 M5 had the V8 but I understand what your saying. I have spent many hours researching the S54 engine. From what I have reviewed, that engine is near bulletproof as long as you stay under 7,600 RPM :confused:
