/\ the new luxo models indeed do. Needless to say, I don't want one.

I did state earlier that I am going to post pics, but not yet.

And you aren't in contact with the road. Steering by wire scares me the most. Love to see that computer fail......

I will clarify my BM'er knowledge wanes greatly with the really late model years. I just can't afford, nor do I like the newer ones as much. Too much drive by wire and other chit. I like the good old fashioned engine, clutch, and minimal computer interaction--controlling the injectors and such is great though.

Of course for some reason BMW is selling 325's now that actually have the 2.8 in it. They stopped making the 2.5L (just bored to 2.8) in 94/95 and turned it into the 2.8L. More recently it grew again to 3.0L but is still very similar in design. 2.5L before 1992 are not the best because of the timing belt, in late 92 they switched to a "maintenance" free timing chain. Really my favorite BM'er motor is the 3.5L, not the one in my M but the more stock boring beast. I have seen multiple beat to chit ones with well over 300,000 miles. We yanked the head on a buddy of mines with 80k and could still see honing marks, that engine is da bomb.

I'm curious as to how it'll sound in that large of an enclosure Mike recommended .4 to .6 so I thought wtf. It is easy to make smaller. how much power are you using? he recomended .25 to me, but i feel they need to be bigger (450w to each) It will be getting 280w from the 5chn of an Eclipse PA5532; however, everything in the truck is ready for a 2nd RLi8 and a Memphis Belle 1300.

The 528i is larger, more hp and overall better. More horsepower? 2.8L I6 in both, same engine, same horsepower.

Not really a whole lot. The 5 series is a bit bigger, but they basically ride on the same suspension, engine, transmission. The 5 will have more acoustic dampening and a slightly more expensive feel. Of course this depends on the years that you are looking at too. Anything more specific?

Congratulations!

Please explain.

Holy crap, the skeeters made me stop working....I promise.

Justin said he might be able to attend a SoCal meet during August, dunno if you could make it to that? When in August? I can periodically get to LA, with enough warning maybe I can make it.

Mailing pucker.

Oh and Tom, I will mail you a puck tomorrow.

Going to be 0.5cuft sealed forward facing. Was going to do down, but instead am going to glass the bottom of the box. Everything just fits better that way.

Unless you had one hell of a bender before hand.

How do you sleep 17 hours????

Have fun with those, pics would be sweet.

/\ I never order the ladies cut, but it is the only thing that cheap.

Holy chit, movies are 10 bucks now? The last one I went to was somewhere near $4.50 and at that point, I thought fudge it I will just rent the DVD's. So let me get this straight for a date: 2 ticks: $20 Popcorn and 2 soda's (we call 'em mixers): $15 Friggin' night at the movies $35 Or for $35 you can have the ladies cut filet a la carte at almost any expensive steak house. Hmmm, eff da movies.
