Thanks Jeff, that was a good idea - I hadn't checked there yet. Unfortunately, though, I didn't find an obvious solution to my problem - as far as I can tell, the intake boot is solid. I didn't see...

I have a '95 318ti that was due for an inspection 2 (92K miles). I took it in to the dealership on Friday and had it done.

When the service guy called me back, he asked me if it was normal for my...

C'mon, be fair, I think GM has a pretty favorable history with turbos. The Turbo T/A, the Grand National/GNX, the Syclone/Typhoon, etc. Even the Grand Prix GTP is a pretty decent car, even if the...

Do you have very stiff suspension, particularly in the rear? That can make a difference sometimes. I think that slightly softer rear suspension that allows the car to "squat" a bit under power helps...

For that kind of money, I'd spend just a little more and get a really nice 850. Then you get your V12, and you look like a damn badass to boot. :)

I'd totally buy an 850 if I wasn't so sure the...

Am I the only one that thinks it looks like a cross between a BMW and a Chrysler Crossfire?

And I don't mean that as a bad thing, it's awesome. I'll start saving my spare change.

Man, I like my ti, but if I had to choose between it (even with an M3 engine in it), and an M coupe, that'd be a pretty easy decision. M coupes are awesome, rare, and very very cool.

I hope I'm not being too amazingly ignorant here, but is the link to the Bentley manual zip broken? When I click on it, I just get taken to a BMW Society page.

Are you sure the adaptor you're talking about isn't the Soundgate converter? That's generally around $100.

The "bus" refers to the communication protocol between the head unit and CD changer. If you happen to be a computer geek like me, it's like the way computers have a PCI bus, an AGP bus, etc.

It sounds like you want a new car not so much because you need one - your Probe will, in reality, probably run for a long time to come with only minimal service. You seem like maybe you just need a...

How come you feel like you have to sell the Probe GT? I was always under the impression that the engines in those things were pretty damn bulletproof. 88K miles is nothing.
