  1. haha i knew i would get crap for having a BMW, i will contact them ASAP, i didn't want it sitting in storage over the weekend so i decided to call them Monday. Hopefully everything will be allright
  2. A member suggested another problem regarding the auto-brake feature on a different forum. If this is the case, I really hope i did not do any damage to the car as i tried to turn it on. I did not try turning it on more than two or three times. Again, the car was in park, so wouldn't starting the car be equivalent to just revving the car in park? Does the brake have anything to do with it? Thanks Guys,
  3. This is what a BMW tech said at bimmerfest forums. Sound expensive? Do you think it will be covered under warranty?
  4. Fingers crossed, my dad is out of the country right now, (I'm only 16) and my mom is not very knowledgeable about cars so I have to deal with the dealership and everything. Hopefully it's just a battery issue
  5. That is one sweet bridge.
  6. Never in my life have I recieved such a boost of confidence haha. I have a warranty for another year or 30,000 miles so hopefully it should be covered.
  7. My BMW recently stopped starting. At first, the car would not respond electronically in any way. I had to use the key inside the remote to open the door. Then, I called BMW assist and they had a man come and try to jump it. He managed to get the lights and electronics to come on, but when I tried to start the engine, it sputtered like crazy and then just died. The speedometer read "Parking Break Fault" and something about lack of power. It sounded horrible when I tried to start it, it would rev up and and down, and then eventually just die. I just left the car there for now and will be calling BMW as soon as possible. Any ideas as to what exactly is wrong? I'm leaning heavily toward a battery issue but the speedo read parking break and insuffiecent power problems, the first one raises more concern. Has anyone had any incidents like this with 05' 745s?
  8. Car and driver got 16 city 23 highway
  9. For your needs, you should try an IS350. I believe they come in stick, plenty of power, and very nice and sporty. Although they have a performace version bieng released in the next year or so that is competing with the M or AMG series if you are interested in that. It's quite a bit more pricier than the IS350, i would say atleasy 60k. You can get a decent IS350 at 40k. The IS base model starts at about 32 I believe.
  10. Screw Desperate Housewifes, the drama's right here :D no joke this thread keeps me entertained
  11. I am surprised that my small town of 50,000 has so many entries.
  12. To be honest with you, the NAV is probably one of my favorite features in the car. It is so convinient and you never know when your going to need it. It has saved us from getting lost multiple times. Now I understand that getting a third party NAV is considerably cheaper, but IMO, I really dislike the look of wires running around my cup holders and a suction cup on my windshield holding the NAV. Unless you can find a NAV that looks completely stock, I will stand behind the Lexus navigation system. That look for me, and for many others, is worth the premium price you pay, in addition to functionality with the car. It also shows maintenance reminders and as mentioned by others, works with the back up camera. By going third party, I feel you are losing the functionality of the car and the NAV as a whole as they no longer work together, but alone. We will continue to buy NAVs in our cars when its within our budget.
  13. Little late here, but Happy Birthday!
  14. Wow that exhaust is amazing, I wanted to see it under some heavy use though, I didn't even hear the engine roar that much
  15. Have you considering adding a sub to it?
  16. Haha thanks NC. Believe or not even I know the words to Vanilla. Classic song and i listen to it every now and then.
  17. the price is pretty steep though, 60k, well, if your in the market for an M3 its not expensive, but in comparison to the IS250/350 it certainly is.
  18. wow i really want one, especially after driving the IS250, i can't imagine how much fun that would be to drive.
  19. a friend brought up a recent concern, is it illegal to video tape inside stores? he said he heard about people getting in trouble for it, if so, i will remove these videos from the internet
  20. haha yea we were just trying to be funny, glad u guys liked it
  21. Location: Target Lowe's JcPenny Best Buy Local Outlet Mall Song: Cha Cha Slide Enjoy i have a crappy camera so please excuse quality hope u guys find humor in it, i know the LOC crowd is typically older than me and might not find the same amusement in it that we did Either way, enjoy.
  22. GDixon, that's like saying people die from car crashes every year, so we should no longer advance in safety features, but continue unsafe practices so that people will learn and eventually stop driving all togethor. Space was just one factor in my argument on over population, from your post, it seems to me that you're under the impression that the food problem is due to a lack of resources. This is partially correct but its not a lack of resources in the earth, its a lack of resources in that region, not every country/city has the luxury of importing from over seas. Your solution to the over population is illogical itself. You're defeating the purpose of all the necessities and luxuries of life by saying that life should be reduced in order let those who have such luxuries accessible enjoy them. If you were underprivileged and starving, I'm almost positive that you would want you and your family/children to be fed, rather than accept the fact that you're dying will help solve the over population problem. NC211, thank you, and you and anyone else is more than welcome to add to this thread.
  23. i actually believe that over population, especially in terms of space, is not what we should be concerned about right now, heres a quote from a study on over population So when your saying not to support people who are dying because its preventing the earth's over population problem, i really don't buy it.
