Default Re: Need to get snow tires if you are going to the mts

I've got the stock 17" all-season with the M/S markings, though I had wondered about winter tyres.

Doesn't *really* seem worth it if I live down in the bay area, as I'd soon trash the softer rubber.

Default Re: Welcome...

Yeah, I know about the sticker on the sun visor.

My friend bought a BMW 3-series and was telling me about how he'd taken his off.

I tried nearly everything (on the rear side of the passenger's), but only got half of it off...

The chipping is tempting, need to consider the warranty / insurance aspects of it though.

Default Re: Welcome to the US..

Yeah, I have to say after driving it around SF I was seriously impressed with the auto on the hills, no rollback whatsoever. (My last experience there was in some dire Hertz Ford Taurus, which was seriously scarey).

Default Consider this...

I owned a B5 Avant prior to my B7 and drove it until about 100,000 miles, 65,000 of which were by me the majority of which were using an APR stage 1..no real issues to speak of..I've now had about 15,000 miles on the B7 with the APR software and I love it...

If you take the plunge, make sure you install the AWE boost guage kit too...very nice product and you get to see the extra boost too (which can be a good diagnostic if you there's ever any power issues)

Enjoy,

Nick
