Default Just when I was ready to get started - - pics

My symblink cables are finally showing up this weekeing and I get rewarded with this...So, everything looks fine here right:




well, it gets worse:





******* car went in for Inspection II two weeks ago - valves adjusted, oil change, etc. Well, two days ago, when I get home, LOUD ticking sound from the valve train - then she hits limp mode, next starts stuttering and almost dies. Throws a code and cylinder 2 is dead

Looks like it's a coil issue, but there's also some problem in the valve train too - we'll see how it goes - wish me luck. Now I'm stuck with a craptastic X3

As a side note, I saw the new M Roadster in IB today at the dealership - that car is crazy looking - so nice, great seats, should be a fun fun car.

generally speaking, the car has been pretty good to me. I think this is a case of a mistake made by the shop during the valve adjustment combined with a faulty part.

I hope she's back on the road soon too - this X3 sucks *****

I know what it's like man. I've been without my sol for about 2 days now (waiting for new suspension bits) and it's driving me nuts.

I have to drive a bone stock car that has none of the creature comforts I'm used to
