    Cigarette compartment won't open

    Haven't seen this problem posted before, so hopefully people can provide some suggestions. That little cover that you press down on to access the cigarette lighter and ash tray is not opening fully for me. The cover can be pressed closed & locked. But when I press it again to open it, it...

    Some bum stole my tire stem caps!

    So some idiot stole my tire stem caps for no good reason. There was nothing special about them at all. Just plain old, standard, metal screw-on caps. How irritating. Anyways, I was looking for a new set and was wondering if anyone has tried these "anti-theft" stem caps? They have an...

    How to connect these cables?

    This is a shot in the dark, but hopefully some of you with electrical skills will be able to help me. I have 4 of these cables (small, internal audio/power cables) that I want to connect end to end to make one long cable. What is the easiest way to do that? Are there male-male bare pins that...

    How do you open the gear select panel?

    Can someone please tell me how to open the plastic panel that surrounds the gear shifter? It's that panel in the centre that houses the gear selector, leather boot, and gear shifter. Thanks!

    Salt Lake City, Utah recommendations?

    Going to be in Salt Lake City, Utah from Friday to Tuesday. Have courses to go to during the day, but will be free after 5pm. Does anyone have recommendations for things to do, restaurants, etc.? From what I've read on the internet, it seems like the whole city closes after 6pm. Say it ain't so!

    Rough idle and decels in first gear

    I think I know what the problem is, but I wanted to confirm with people. 80% of mornings, I start the car, and it revs up to 1500rpms and then suddenly drops down to 500rpms and vibrates a little for about half a second and then comes back up again. This just started about a month ago. And...

    Why is the roadster lighter than the coupe?

    Just looking at my 2008 Car Buyer's guide and noticed that the Z4 roadster and M roadster are around 15kg lighter than their coupe counterparts, but the opposite is true for most other soft top convertibles when compared to their coupe counterparts. Just some examples: - 650i soft top...

    Steam from the hood/bonnet?

    This may be a stupid question, but I've never noticed this before. I was on the highway with bumper to bumper traffic today, and it was raining. While I was inching along, I noticed what looked like steam coming out from the front of my car. Not the sides of the hood, but only the front...

    Nitto Neo Gen Tires

    Has anyone had any experience or heard anything about these tires? I'm getting a new summer wheel & tire package, and the place is all out of FK 452's, doesn't have General Exclaim UHP, and I don't want to splurge on the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 or Michelin PS2's. Any help is appreciated. I...

    First aid boxes

    In light of recent threads about these first aid boxes that go under the seats for additional storage space, I've been inquiring. For any Canadians interested, I've found a source who will sell two boxes with the brackets needed to install them for $52 US including shipping. Tischer doesn't...

    Can you find the "adult" reference in this video?

    No. You must have a pretty dirty mind if you can find an "adult" reference in a children's cartoon from the 70s.
