Can anyone run the VIN for me? Thanks, Brian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

That is one great looking (and sounding) exhaust system. I'm a bit smitten, BUT... Any thoughts among the group on whether I can install this thing w/o worrying about warranty coverage (pretty new car)? I figured I could check with the motorsports guy at the dealership, but wouldn't mind asking him after receiving some collective knowledge on whether there is any "correct" way in which to ask this question! Thanks again. And you were right about the sound levels and wife issue--she approved the downloaded sound bits.

I have had the opportunity to tour their facilities, etc. and their technology is impressive. It seems simple when it is explained to you and you can see the guts of an exhaust system but it seems most other companies are still relying on 100 year old ideas. That and their welds and finished product is amazing too. It is nice to see a BMW aftermarket company working with them. It would be interesting to see an E36 M3 system and other future development.

You should (and probably will very soon!) hear the one-off system on the 750 along with the replacement performance cat section. - Rob ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2004 21:41:15 -0700 From: "jcd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Looking for 2001 740i Sport...cautions?...suggestions? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> After 210k miles I'm looking to sell my 735i and move on to a 740i. I have several in sight in SoCal and a few in AZ. Any info on weak points or what to look for is appreciated. Also any feedback on Long Beach BMW or Crevier BMW would be helpful.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Indeed. Hmmm... 2-door E34 (I assume). To me, that sounds like the replacement for the E24 6-series that never saw the light of day. <sigh> I suppose I could hack the roof off the '95 sedan - NOT. - Rob On Dec 5, 2004, at 1:19 AM, Bruno wrote: > Probably next to the E34 M5 cabrio also...

We check and the brake lights are working, including the middle light. After some period of time, the warning light goes out. We check brake lights again and they are still working. Over the course of the weekend, the warning lights came on a few times, but the brake lights always worked. I wowed my father with tales of BMW's setting off the warning light in anticipation of the bulbs failing, due to a change in resistance (?) or some such thing. Dad was really impressed <zzzzzzzzzz>! Anyway, has anyone ever heard of this happening in (dreaded) Toyotas or is this just a BMW phenomenon?
