BMW Performance: Why do you torment me?

I was at the dealership last friday getting a radiator fluid top off as my fluid level apparently evaporated just enough to send me a nasty warning light last week. Wondering around the dealership, I looked into the parts cabinet display and noticed a very nice looking steering wheel with cutouts for the paddle shifters on my 335i steptronic. The new part was the BMW Performance Steering Wheel which I held in my hands and felt a dramatic difference than the stock wheel with it's beefier feel and of course the whole light up display showing 1/4 mile timer, lap timer, section timer, lat/long g force, oil/water temp, and stopwatch.

Of course there is a member on E90Post.com who has some great shots of the steering wheel, photos galore. I'm thinking with the alcantara trim on the wheel, adding a few alcantara pieces would tie the wheel together beautifully in the interior. After a quick look, I found alcantara shift boot and e-brake pieces that would like quite nice with the performance wheel and pricing is fairly affordable which is nice since the Performance Steering Wheel is in the ~$1,000 price point (I found it for $995 from Tischer BMW online.)

While I have no set timing on when I'll add this modification, I do expect to get it installed with the additional alcantara pieces some time time around September or October. The new steering wheel looks and feels very nice; though, like anything else BMW I wish it was a little easier on the wallet.

This can be a good way to name free events that are designed to give prospective attendees a taste of
what they can expect in a larger, more expensive program.

This should have a section where you can choose what type
of speakers are hooked up. Ensure that the sound
card you pick up can handle the number of channels required to work with the speakers you
want to install.

Advantages of Fast FashionTo the Customer. The Internet
is another source of patterns available for the sneakers are black, white,
or dark brown. The trick is to balance the two
but you want to present something new in terms of
style, add a dash of professionalism that
heels provide. If you love the quality and look of designer fashion can be
completely honest with you or just change!
