This Car is BAD LUCK
August 2008 - Deeb buys a 135i
December 2008 - Deeb gets stuck in the snow and is forced to buy winter tires - $1300 December 2008 - Deeb gets his passenger side window broken and iPod stolen - $1800 in repairs April 2009 - Deeb crashes his car due to freshly re-installed summer tires being hardened by friction trying to get out of said snow. - $18,000 May 2009 - Deeb gets car back and buys new summer tires - $1,400 June 2009 - Deeb gets his passenger side window broken and has learnt his lesson not to leave valuables in the car - thieves get nothing. - $2,200 July 2009 - Deeb sells this fucking car.

Sorry to see Deeb go, but these sound like problems with Deeb that would have happened to any nice rwd car he bought.

wow, even with the exchange rate $1300 and $1400 is pretty high for tires, isn't it? Did one of those purchases include rims? You were definitely asking for trouble driving in snow with summer tires... that part wasn't bad luck.

April 2008 - Lacrosse buys a 135i
December 2008 - lacrosse has a TCU failure that takes 4 weeks to get the parts and 3 days to install. January 2009 - Some starts get longer and harder. May 2009 - HPFP finally fails June 2009 - Wastegate actuator fails and gets replaced. Car still throws codes, so new software is downloaded from BMWNA. Car STILL throws codes, BMWNA says replace the turbos. Two are required. One arrives. No one knows when the other will arrive. Lacrosse starts cross shopping Cayman S and Carreras.

Ask yourself....Is it worth it? You've basically lost about $4k to crime in the last year (I'm including some aggravation factor in that number because I'd be doing some heavy drinking if someone busted my window out). When all things are considered (parking, commuting, time, ect.) Does your job in the city pay that much more than something you could find in a smaller area with less crime? I couldn't do it personally. |

Not if you do the sensible thing and get rims and TPS at the same time. I think I paid about $1200 for cheap rims and decent tires.

Man I dunno, being rear ended twice and losing your top all within 3 months is pretty bad! Horray for bad luck !!!
And for people wondering about me paying a lot for tires, they were $500 US + shipping + brokerage fees + tax + duty to cross boarder, I think it was a little under $1,100 after all was said and done, Canadian. So at the time $800ish US still quite a bit cheaper than ordering them up here.
