    If you got a Prius I'm pretty sure you'd be banned from here.
    Yeah I did my research and found those issues you stated and then called up a few BMW dealerships to see what they would charge to replace them....I nearly feel out of my chair at how much they wanted for repairs. 335xi I was going to get needed new brake pads and were nearly double what I pay for them on a Japanese car. Not sure how true it was, but they stated I had to get BMW parts as many have sensors that know if you used something else. The buddies I know that get BMW's get them new and then trade them in when warranty expires as it is a risk.

    Yup, that was right in front of Qdoba; had just washed the ride and remembered I had not got a pic with the new rims on (as I walked back with my burrito). I live right by there off of Belleview and Windermere.
