Off-topic discussion / Greetings - another forum newbie

« on: November 26, 2009, 05:12:24 PM »

Greetings,

Well I figure that since I've been making a few posts I should actually do an official 'HI!'  

New to the forums here and just got my first m42 a 1991 318iS, I'll hopefully be posting a pic or two soon once the weather clears up a little.  Body has 296k while the engine has about 135k, in overall fantastic condition with records back to 1996.  This will be a daily driver.

Based on my sig i'm obviously a BMW fan, especially the E30 - just something about these cars that strikes me as being so much fun.

Love the site and the attitudes here, very positive and welcoming, hopefully I'll be able to add to that over time.

Cheers!

Off-topic discussion / Thumbs up to Mike at BMW Store Cincy in Parts Dept

Nice Ramblin!  Good to hear as most dealerships just don't seem to be that friendly anymore to the walk in customer.  My one exception locally is Seattle BMW, most of the folks at the parts department are always willing to work with me looking up the smallest little part.  I attribute this to Dave, the department manager, and his management style.

Suspension / camber correction - offer your input

« on: November 25, 2009, 12:07:38 AM »

from the small amount of information that I can gleem about the various camber plates being discussed here (read 'what materials are used where') the real difference appears to be that the Vorshlag's plates 'may' be engineered for the street while the GC plates are focussed on a track/race setup.

It appears that roundel is happy with the purchase/fit/install/ride/performance so...what's the deal otherwise?

I've seen a pretty wide variety of camber plate setups from really pretty (IMHO GC's & IE's) to completely fugly (yeah, that would be mine...home made) but each of them have done exactly what the owner wants.

so what's the point of my post?  Ummm, well, yeah, about that...I seem to have lost it somewhere along the way...
