Second day of Christmas is up here! On the second day of Christmas my Indy gave to me - an enema & $3000 repair bill! http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2086648#post2086648 :)

Water spots = yes. Clear coat = no. I had what I thought were water spots on my c pillar but they were clear coat damage. This won't help that.

OMG the cover was easy compared to the fight I had with the factory high pressure clamps. Not like you can get in there with a dremmel and fuel vapers all around! :eek:

Wow - crazy to repace the fuel filter on the 2000 BMW E39 (540) and the manual is no help at all! I basically killed myself and was turned away at the hardware store looking for line/clamps. I know this is a NSX board but thought I would see if anyone has any ideas...

Yes you can. It is tough to prove they intended to mislead you. If they want to mess with you - they can. They will probably write a letter and try to scare you and then drop it. If you are that concerned you can consult an attorney but bottom line they can sue you for the purchase price +...

Someone please wake me up from this nightmare. Maybe this is on purpose? You make a terrible concept and then bring out basically the same shape as the original NSX and everyone cheers and no one complains that it is basically the same car. :cool:

I would refine that a little. These cars just need a LOT around 80-100k. If you find an enthusiast's car that has had these things taken care of you should be good to go for many trouble free miles. This is why so many are up for sale between 80-100k. There is deferred maintenance that needs...

2 nice cars. Some people like the pre-Vanos (97-98) more for the simplicity vs others for the added torque. Both have about the same miles which - unfortunately put them as high candidates for problems. These cars have tremendous maintenance needs around 80-110k miles. I would guess...

I recently purchased a 2000 540i with 78k miles, no accidents, no stories, full inspection, clean carfax, nice car for $14,000 OTD. Absolutely love it but the maintenance is MORE then an NSX (including eating tires). A fantastic car with the sports package - very quick, comfortable, great...

Chris - can you post a link to the new installation instructions? Thank you! Nick

That is great news! After the sadness and weight of Len's passing there is nothing like a new baby in the world to brighten things up and give us perspective. I can't image life without my kids and you will be taught and challenged in ways you can't even imagine right now. Enjoy the ride but...

I just found this stuff myself. Honest to goodness this stuff is the best I have ever seen to polish and clear up lenses like on my 540i. It is not aggressive enough to remove deep pitting but will clean up everything else better then anything I have witnessed. It is also AMAZING on scratched...

I just got home from a wedding in Fort Wayne (best friend from high school) and was very sad to have missed Len's Wake/Service. In the 7 hour drive up and back I thought a lot about him. It was guys like Len you look forward to having around for many years and sometimes those years don't...

I just got off the phone with Ko-NSX. He is in touch with Len's brother and will help post details. We are also going to find out if there was a charity Len was very close too and will coordinate donations. We don't know much about what happened accept that it appears Len was riding alone...

Here is a picture of Len. We were at the Bentley dealership in town checking out the cars. I brought my son with me and he started to fuss. It was not a kid setting to say the least! I was tired and frustrated and was getting ready to leave. Len swooped him up and made faces at him and...

Complete and utter shock and sadness. I have known Len for years and can't believe it. He was the "big kid" type you couldn't help but be friends with and I know from personal communications he was very close to his family and adored his two young kids. He was an accomplished businessman and...

I wouldn't buy a car sight unseen without an inspection. Go to SGS and order a $99 inspection: http://consumer.sgsauto.com/Transition.aspx?ID=M4HFD5DS They usually come out the next day, inspect and test drive the car, and report back. They can spot body damage like what you saw long before...

The demand for Ferrari's far outstrips supply and a new NSX is not going to change that one bit. I doubt this has anything to do with the NSX replacement IMO.

Tears running down my cheeks - that was great!!! :) Nick

After marriage BUT Before kids

Don't forget the stereo swap either.

Uh - OK - I will do it... "Something that is universally TRUE" Now what do I win? :)

I have driven everything from NA1 bone stock to wild modified and Zinardi/NA2 targas. I assure you there is little difference IMO between NA1 coupe (lighter, tighter, less power) and NA2 targa (heavier, more power, power steering). That said it is a personal decision that a test drive can...
