Hopefully now that they are in the Eastern Conference Finals, they are drawing some more eyeballs and gaining the respect of basketball fans across the country. I know that Paul George has LeBron's attention.

What I love about the Pacers is that they truly play as a team. Also, they are very, very disciplined (yet still aggressive) on defense. The team's Achilles heel is turnovers. If they can limit the turnovers and take care of home court, I firmly believe they can "beat the Heat" and advance to the Finals.

Anyone else want to see the Blue and Gold take care of business against the Heat? ]]> The Sports Lounge ybbiz34 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=844884 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=844883&goto=newpost Sat, 25 May 2013 05:36:42 GMT After having some problems with a 2013 map update I was told by a few guys on this forum as well as the guy cold me the map that I need to have the CIC firmware updated.

I had trouble explaining to BMW what I needed as they automatically told me I needed to pay for a map update which isn't what I need.

Is the CIC firmware included in the 240E firmware or is it a separate module update?

Looking for some quick advice on which course of action to take with replacing my worn RFTs on my 135i. Discount Tire is running a Memorial Day rebate, so I have to make a purchase by tomorrow (Saturday) in order to qualify should I decide to get a set of tires. Deal is for $75 of mid-level performance, and $100 off high-end.

My rear Bridgestone RFTs are shot. Not quite at the indicators, but close enough to warrant replacement within the next 1,000 miles. I also need an alignment. The fronts are still good, probably have 70% of tread left. Rears wore out in 8,000 miles!

Here are my options:

4 x Hankook Ventus V12s - $780 after 2 rebates (w/ road hazard warranty)

4 x Michelin Super Sports - $1,100 after Discount Tire $100 rebate (w/ road hazard warranty)

2 x Michelin Super Sports - $640 w/ road hazard warranty. $570 no warranty.


I've done the research, I know the Hankooks aren't the best tire and have weak sidewalls, but most of what I read suggests it's still a better tire than the RFTs, significantly more comfortable, and at that price point, it's going to be hard to beat. I also read that slightly over-inflating the tires helps boost response.

I would love the Michelins, and like that they come with a 30,000 tread wear warranty (I believe Discount will honor it despite the tires being staggered, but I need to verify that), but I am not rolling in the dough right now, so blowing $1,100 on tires isn't exactly ideal.

I also need an alignment, and I have active steering, so that adds another $250 to this whole process.


Does anyone think I would benefit best from only replacing the two rears and keeping the RFTs on the front? Is this even worth considering? If I do this, should I also buy the road hazard protection, or should I skip it since it's the rears? I can save $36 a tire by skipping road hazard protection on the Michelins, and around $25 per tire by skipping on the Hankooks. Discount Tire will still prorate replacements for road hazard damage if I don't get the full protection plan.


Any suggestions here would be awesome. I lost my job a couple months back and haven't found a new gig yet, and while I have a healthy amount of savings, I could do a lot with the $300+ between the Hankooks and the Super Sports, and even more with the $500 difference between 4 new Super Sports and only replacing the rears.

I'd just hate to have to deal with this whole process in a year if the Hankooks don't hold up that long.

I'll park for awhile and when I come back, it's covered in bugs. What sucks is it's the little green ones that don't come off when you drive. I'm was thinking it might be the soap I use, like the smell but I haven't washed my car in a couple of months. Strange I never had this issue with my hardtop SLK before.

I was waiting so I was enjoying some breakfast when I got a call from my service advisor. He asked me to come look at my wheel. The right rear had a very slight flat spot. I hadn't noticed it, and it didn't even drive funny. I told him I remembered hitting a pretty decent pothole a while back. He didn't think driving integrity would be affected, but that he wanted me to know about it. He then told me he would try to get it replaced under warranty. Nice. So he made a phone call, and they agreed to replace the whole rim.

A factory top and headliner were pushing the $2k mark. I figured since I was a shop owner I could do a service to my customers if it came out ok. I like giving people options.. and I don't mind being a guinea pig.

The top and liner was purchased from www.autotopsdirect.com. The top was $549 and the liner was $275 I had Fine Line Upholstery in Rancho Cordova perform the work. We refer a lot of customers to them and they've always done a great job.

Results - the top is perfect in every way. It is very snug and looks OEM.. there are some issues with the weather stripping which I'll deal with at my shop next week. However the fit and finish of the material is OEM quality. They said the headliner seemed a bit short and they had a very hard time pulling it properly. It also looks OEM and looks great.

I'll update this thread in a few weeks once I've had a chance to take a better look at it and run the top up and down a few times.
