Hard to keep track of people's vehicles on this site, when they are not dispayed.. Is this the M coupe based on the Z3?

Nope.
Z3 was based on E36 generation chassis.

E46 coupe. wish i had M coupe...

Sorry I am a little confused... Your first statement says problems with the M, so you have an M. Then the above statement, says E46 generation coupe. So I assume you have a E46 M coupe?

He has an E46 M3 coupe.

Thanks Oliver, that's what I thought. But these designations get confusing. Because then he said he wishes he had the M coupe.

So I am guessing hardtop version of the Z3 & Z4. Those are pretty rare, I always look twice when I see those...

Yep, and they hold their value quite well too. In Canada we only got the M versions of those coupes but Americans could get them with the 3.0 straight six (and automatics).

It's summer and the boy is off to film camp for six weeks. On his sixth year now and will be in training to be a counselor and instructor this time.

So what's the problem?

And he will be counselling the girls? and instructing them? Seems like a good job to me.

The control panel on the pool heater is frozen. This, ever since the big rain storm the other day. Haywood H Series and 6 years old.

^Nice.

Aqua, sorry about the trouble. IMO replace the front rotors, no point in doing all the work to end up with a warped or otherwise damaged rotor.

When an inept and seemingly incompetent salesman/dealership in Ontario won't allow me to do a lease take over of one of their cars simply because I'm out of Province. Was planning on flying up on Thursday to pick it up but nope, they decided on not deal with an out of Province person.

Looks like I'm not having much luck getting a vehicle from Ontario. Found another car that I'm interested in getting, but since I'm out of Province, a lease or finance at the dealership is completely off the table.......cash purchase only. They are telling me I need an Ontario driver's license. Is this an Ontario thing?

Maybe it's a nissan/infiniti thing?

It can't be though as the four Infiniti vehicles I've had, two were brand new and came from out of Province (obviously since NB doesn't have a dealership). I'm finding it quite bizarre.

It would be interesting if knowledgeable folks like Cord, tooscoops, Artic, could possibly post their thoughts.

That's very weird. I bought a used car in Ontario from a Kia dealership and had no trouble getting it financed. Also bought a used Mazda from a Mazda dealer in Quebec and again had no issues.

Leaving Freistaat Bayern and driving thru the boredom that is former East Germany......then back up to plain-ol' Northern Germany.

Just found out my brother-in-law's mother passed away. He and my SIL are expecting their first kid in 6 months. Sad to know she would never meet her grandchild.

Off to the Emerg this afternoon. Having trouble breathing. It's been getting worse for the last few weeks and we thought I was just run down but now my breathing is stopping at night so thinking maybe I shouldn't have stopped using oxygen when I did. I stopped it because it's $400 a month. Wife says my life is more inportant than $400 a month. Told her we can't afford it but may not have a choice now. Blergh. lol.

Anyways, it may indeed be just being run down but unlike when I was younger I'll see what the Doc says. On the bright side, the emerg is 1/2 hour away and a very nice drive if done on the back roads!

Smart woman. Where there is a will, there is a way. Wish you well, and I am sure a solution will be found...

My brother was having severe shortness of breath, but didn't do anything about it until he had chest pain while mowing the lawn. Nothing showed up on his stress test, but the angiogram showed 1x95% blockage, 2x80% blockage. Got to stay in hospital for 1 wk waiting for surgery, then 1 wk recovering from his triple bypass. Fun times, fun times.

The cardiologist said he has several patients where nothing shows up on the stress tests, they have to do routine angiograms every 2 to 3 years.
