Bump

I wouldn't let Canadian Tire do the DRL's. Go to any place that services BMW's and it's a simple mouse click on the computer to activate DRL's on a BMW. If you go to BMW you will get RIPPED OFF!...

TTT

^^^ Bingo, thanks.

Never thought to check on Kijiji, I'll definitely do that.

I appreciate all the great suggestions from everyone!

Thanks for the suggestion, that thought briefly occurred to me as well but I wasn't sure if windows needed to be functional or not.

Yes, I realize this is another window tint thread and that tint on the front side windows is illegal. What I still want to know is if there are any places in Calgary that are a little more lenient on...

The warehouse could be anywhere in the city (I've had one in the SE off Blackfoot and another one by Deerfoot Mall) which means that you would need to go there first, grab any paperwork and then go...

Looks like the vast majority of people on here know how to drive which is a good thing. Now how do we get the word out to all the other morons enforcing their view of the traffic laws from the...

This happens to me all the time...if you can't get your speed adjusted properly to MERGE then you're SOL. I like to label my driving style "aggressive, yet courteous". :-P

I personally wouldn't have too many concerns about a high mileage car esp. if all of the records are there and it is clearly in decent shape (pending compression test, etc). Depending on my budget I...

If anyone has been affected by this you can contact the lawyers at the bottom of the page here:

Just heard this on QR77 - Lawsuit has been filed against Transport Canada, BMW and Mercedes. For anyone that has been ripped off with some of the new restrictions (or restrictions in general), you...

Who knows. I'm done with the dealer and writing letters to BMW Canada gets you absolutely no where. I'm not the only one that has complained about that dealer. All you get back is a letter (and this...

Ask for John in the parts dept. and see if he'll give you internet/ebay pricing. I buy all of my parts from them now as their prices are unbelievable...

Just in the process of finding some software online (lots of info and resources out there) myself as well as a cable for the laptop. :thumbsup:

Got a tow truck to haul the X5 outta there and bring it home. Fixed it all myself on Sat. for $450 including all new hoses, oil separator, valve cover gasket, assorted parts and oil change. BMW...

That's kinda what I figured. There was a little yellow under the cap so I guess I need to tell the wife to haul more ass down the highway in the future.

As for BMW Canada covering it, I'm not...

Thanks. :) Did you ever get reimbursed from BMW Canada like you had mentioned in the other thread?

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

I doubt BMW will cover the repair even though it is clearly a design flaw and affects a huge number/range of models but I figure it can't hurt to ask. My...

So the wife's X5 exploded oil the other day after having spent a cold night outside. :thumbsdow

Has anyone here in Calgary had this problem fixed under a goodwill gesture by BMW? If not, how much...

^^^ where did you get those headlights? Those rock! :thumbsup:

Nevermind, the MAF was disconnected and that tripped the CEL and tranny light. Doh! :banghead:

I covered my E46 headlights and fogs with the thick 3M stuff from Domion Auto Glass just to prevent pitting. A buddy of mine has never put anything on his E46 headlights and while his hood looks like...

Anyone know where the best place would be to get one done? I'm hoping I may only require a filter and fluid change (since it has likely never been done) and while I could tackle it myself, I'd like...

Two Square. Had mine done there. Dennis charges less than BMW.

I've never had any issues with them at all and I've had them work on my VW's, BMW's and Porsche over the years. :dunno: Just in case though, who's a good alternative in town?

New BMW's don't come with block heaters nor does BMW endorse them. Warm up the car for 30 secs and drive gently 'til fully warm. Everything else is a waste of gas and unnecessarily hard on the...

Ah, didn't know that since I've only got experience with E46's and E53's. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Did they seriously tell you you needed to get a new gauge cluster? :banghead:

:)

I've also been asked for additional supporting documentation such as a print out of the e-bay listing, for sale ad, etc. They don't mess around so I'd be prepared with more than just one piece of...

BUMP

^^^ I totally agree with you. I suspect several of us have written Canada BMW about their practices and I know my personal response from them was equivalent to "that's just too bad for you, now leave...

Really, wow talk about cracking down. I would have thought anyone that owns a BMW in the US would be entitled to seeing a History Report (i.e. also shows options, etc.) for their own vehicle. :dunno:

A trick that may work for those of you that haven't imported a BMW is to get the oil changed at a dealer in the US prior to driving it back (this is what I've done twice and is a good idea any way...

Too bad there's not a way to get CarFax to lobby RIV to accept their information since the reports usually state something about recalls. The dealerships really are turning into stealerships but then...
