Funny you should mention this. With the 265s, my car stopped clicking. That's +40 mm over the stock width.

In other news: My paper mill did not receive the federal grant money we needed in order to buy a steam boiler to keep our plant running past July 2010. lots of other companies received this news today as well,

. We will most likely get the money from corporate, but you never know.

That doesn't sound good. For a government that is supposed to be focused on repairing the economy and preserving (or making) jobs, its a little surprising how many different industries have been impacted by decision like this one.

in Massachusetts: 98 million dollars were proposed and 1.5 million were accepted.

GINA just needs a new pump...the dealers just wont admit it...

Wagner BMW of Shrewsbury SUCKS. Peter Neslusan the SA sucks. Lance Mitchell the Service Manager, sucks. Nothing good comes out of that shithole. Sorry for my profanity but that place has the worse service I've ever dealt with from any car I've owned.

I've already looked into this. A car can not be a lemon unless it's within a year old or under 15k miles

They said the same thing to me. It got to the point I videoed my car EVERYTIME I started the thing.

^ Video of my issues. BMW claimed this is normal.....

Rachel · 11-08-2009, 03:28 PM

I had to wait til mine threw a CEL.... Pretty crappy, cuz who wants to get stuck somewhere?

and 1 · 11-08-2009, 07:57 PM

it's weird that you guys have had such bad experiences with wagner. they didn't give me any bs about replacing my hpfp this spring and i didn't have ANY codes, not even hidden ones. i cleared everything with a BT before i took the car in.

Dr_Jones · 11-08-2009, 08:36 PM

they 'gave' me one for free...its the second time that they are being giant cocks

brian...mines worse. Even with a video they wouldnt replace it? i would be ripshit...

arrutled · 11-09-2009, 08:03 AM

they have to go through a different process now apparently. every failed hpfp opens a PUMA case. Whatever that means, anyone know?
