Thumbs up 100,000 MIles Today!

Yep - the Big donuts.

Car is still great - reliable, quick and gets >33MPG. And i can hang with anybody in the twisties. An inexperienced BMW-driver is the best to out-class! sweeeet.

But the rattles and noises are getting old. I need to spend this weekend nailing everything down until quiet again.

Congrats on the milestone. I bought mine in Nov. of 2003 and I'm already creeping up on 67k, so it won't be long for me.
No rattles yet, though, except the golf clubs and Thunder muffler in my trunk.

Hmph. I'm kinda almost at 130k in a '99! Yeah! And I still love my car. I know it would do much better all around if it weren't for the few mods I've done but I'll still get almost 30mpg hwy mi!

Good job and good luck nailing those noises!!

No, just work. The moon is what, 198k each way?

Actually, I work in a place called Moon Township--so, yeah, I guess I am driving to the Moon.

I just hit 50k last week

And my car is falling apart. I get a new rattle every day and I have an ABS problem. I have a post about it if any one can help me. I love my mp5 but its starting to milk my pockets a bit.

Torque wrench time

Time to get out the wrench or better yet torque wrench and commence tightening them rattles, before something falls off...
