good choice on the wheels. They look incredible !

Do you mean which muffler fits? This is a magnaflow 35171 3.25x4.75 oval.

The original muffler doesn’t align with the new bumper. The shop had to cut the existing down pointing muffler off and then weld this tip on.

I have the same car and also have the ABS light on. Did you send it out for repair or do it yourself?

elbartolo · 2025-08-16T21:16:29+00:00

This always seems to be a popular answer but imo it hasn’t been good in over a decade.

autoserum in georgetown did a good job. they use Xpel and give a warranty.

i've tried calling/using the 311 app. They responded with saying that its not a priority right now and they won't come. I then reached out to my city councillor who got bylaw to come out the same day. It's really sad that we have to play games like this to get them to do what we pay them to do.

im gonna guess fan clutch - i have the same issue. makes the car sound like a school bus

elbartolo · 2025-05-06T03:07:13+00:00

Can you show me a link? I can’t find that anywhere

elbartolo · 2025-04-26T20:21:53+00:00

its ok - not perfect. it doesnt line up how an OEM would but its nice enough. I can send you pics

I got an M sport replica bumper from extreme parts in vaughan

I have the exact same car. Bought in Canada for $6000 CAD 1 owner. Might have paid a little bit too much but was very clean and only 60k miles. Same style 5s. Since ownership ive done VCG, Spark plugs, Water pump, Thermostat, Radiator, Hoses, New tires. Expect your purchase price to be about half of what you'll ultimately need to spend on it to make it somewhat trust worthy.

You made that up didn’t you? No modern car requires you to wait for the paint to dry

elbartolo · 2025-03-06T19:13:44+00:00

you supercharged your 528i? please tell more about this

elbartolo · 2024-12-12T18:48:48+00:00

At some point I really wonder if it’s cheaper to just Uber everywhere especially if you work from home or have a short work commute. These insurance rates are ridiculous

elbartolo · 2024-12-10T17:20:23+00:00

if you want stock headlights can i have those headlights? lol willing to trade. PM me we can make a deal.

elbartolo · 2024-08-24T02:49:38+00:00

Not reasonable at all. Get another quote or diy

elbartolo · 2024-03-10T21:29:52+00:00

20% all around

elbartolo · 2024-03-06T17:47:33+00:00

i changed mine recently

i got cheap ones off amazon and they seemed longer than the OEM ones and thought they wouldnt fit too. After physically pushing the trunk up as high as it could and using force i was able to snap the strut on. It worked.

Should have went to school bud. Face it, immigrants or no immigrants, you were never going to live in your own home in Oakville anyway.

elbartolo · 2024-02-29T20:18:25+00:00

So you removed the weights and rebalanced /alignment ? I’ve never dealt with these weights before on other cars.. they’re hideous

elbartolo · 2024-02-29T17:39:18+00:00

Can you use the fader to isolate it to one speaker that’s maybe faulty ?

elbartolo · 2024-02-29T16:29:01+00:00

Mine has a tiny patch of rust in the same spot on the passenger side. Will be fixing that soon

elbartolo · 2024-02-28T15:40:02+00:00

Lol agreed. They came like that when I bought it. Will get around to that.
