Colorado general chat...

I have a motometer cluster, well, the housing/tach/mpg meter/idiot lights part of it. I'm 99% sure it's from a 325i, and I might have a 325i coding plug lying around somewhere......

Sweet! All I really need is the coding plug, to get accurate tach. I was hoping to not have to go to the pull-n-pay...

You'll have to keep me posted on how well they last. I'm about due for a new set, mine still have tread but I'm betting they've aged out by now.

Are those 'dry road performance' winter tires or 'you will never get stuck, ever' tires? Also, studdable?

They are not studdable. They are a full on winter tires for passenger cars. None of that "performance winter tire" crap. They drive just a little worse then all seasons on dry pavement.

I can't give away all my secrets! LOL

I have a circuit of about 6 that I hit up. The Denver upullandpay normally has some stuff, nothing great though. I occasionally head to the aurora one. 60th and federal (i forget the name) has been a gold mine for me...

I'm not sure if i have the plug, it'll require some digging. It's not in the cluster.

The coding plug lets you keep the 318is tach? Sweeet.

Excellent, I want proper winter tires. Have you gotten to try ice traction with them? That's the only reason I buy studs, so if these have good ice traction.....maybe I'll be able to hear my stereo.

Yes, the coding plug swap fixes it for the 24v swap.

The next time I do a swap it is going to take me hours, not months, and I'll gather all the parts at the beginning, this is one of those 'oh yeah, that' parts I forgot...

You can swap mine for cash moneys. :)

All I have found so far is very packed snow but not full on ice. I will let you know once I find some. So far they do a lot better then my hankooks I have on the jeep in packed snow, which is close to ice. However, the hankooks on the jeep can go though a good 6-7 inches of snow with no problem. I wouldn't recommend them for a passenger car unless you are on a super tight budget.

If you see any dent/scrape free e30 alpine white driver side fender on one of your runs, please let me know. I'd be up for joining you as well sometime if you don't mind a co-pilot.

Speaking of that Roland. I am trying to get pulleys and stuff from DA but with christmas they are being a little iffy right now.
