Just installed a fresh set of tires on my daughter's '03...what a difference. Went with the Hankook Ventus from Tire Rack. Great deal and they ride great.

She's put about 2500 miles on since buying it in Feb, and the car is running nicely, she really likes it. ( I drive it occasionaly also as I'm the mechanic. ) I plan on changing the plugs and o2 sensor soon as it's at 103K miles now.

And the nice folks at the local BMW dealership topped off the special power steering fluid..just had to stop in...

Plannning on installing the iPod interface so that it will work via the steering wheel controls.
