    Just did an 800 mile tank on my BMW 328d

    This is the first long trip (~1100 mile one way) I've taken with my 328d and color me completely impressed! Cruising all day at~75MPH it'll get 50mpg with no problem. Best tank I got was my last tank, 52.7mpg calculated (53.3mpg was what the dash computer said) and the fuel light didn't come...

    Couldn't resist getting some new wheels for the 328d

    It didn't take long, I really tried to resist, but there was a set of BBS CH-Rs local to me and I couldn't pass them up. No matter how hard I tried. The good news is that I went from 20" wheels to 19" wheels. Maybe I'll look for 18" wheels in a couple months. :)

    BMW DEF options

    I see a lot of information for BMW 335d cars, I'm only assuming that the 4 cylinder diesel is the same. Any urea based DEF will work in a 328d? BMW, of course, is the most expensive. VW is in the middle and then apparently truck stop DEF is cheapest. Anybody have experience with DEF...

    Hi All, I'll be heading to Palm Springs for a conference and would like to hit the links one day. But, I have no idea where to play and researching golf on the internet is slow going due to advertisements, BS reviews, etc. Figured I'd try here, there's got to be some golfers amongst this group...

    Stock TDI clutch (slightly used)

    Gone!! Traded for some beer! Replaced my clutch a long time ago. Don't have the car anymore, so I should probably get rid of my old clutch... :) This was from a 2005 Jetta TDI with a BEW engine. Was only in the car from mile 0 to ~25,000 miles. Mechanic who took it out said it looked...

    Is anybody else using it? I love it. I went and picked up an 8GB card at Best Buy for $25 and now I have the smallest ever iPod for my car. Who needs Apple??

    Installed the new side skirts

    Drank entirely too much last night and had to call in sick. So I made the best of the weather and the free day (it's 70 degrees here right now!!) and installed my side skirts. The fit isn't perfect, but I didn't think it would be. I've brightened up the pics so it's easier to see the profile...

    BBS CHs finally on the car

    After a year and a half of owning the wheels I finally got tires for them and put them on the car. Here's a couple quick pics: I think I need the wheels to grow on me a bit. They look nice from a profile view, but from behind the car you can see that the fronts have just a little too much...

    Requested by a member: Please take with a grain of salt as these aren't truly random data. They are all from the mileage competitions, which are not always the best for collecting data...
