Hold Down Screws Avialable At: www.ecstuning.com Have you ever tried to remove the brake rotor set screws on your BMW? If they are showing signs of corrosion, a failed attempt at removing may result in a screw that needs to be drilled out. ECS tuning is proud to introduce our very own solution to this problem. We have designed a stainless steel rotor set screw that will not seize up! Because of its stainless steel composition, our set screws will be easy to remove for years of trouble free use, unlike the OEM part. In this video we put these hold down screws to the test using vinegar and heat to simulate yearly elements.
A nearly-new 2011 BMW 335i Convertible presented by Chris Moran. The 3 Series coupe and convertible have been slightly restyled for 2011, and have been given an additional model in the form of the more sport-oriented 335is. All 335i models receive a new, more fuel-efficient turbocharged engine. The upgraded stereo is also once again branded as a Harman Kardon. Introduction They say that variety is the spice of life. If that’s true, the 2011 BMW 3 Series can make things hotter than a habanero. You can get a sedan, a wagon, a coupe and a convertible; there are two turbocharged six-cylinders, a wickedly torquey diesel engine and a regular six-cylinder that’s hardly a slouch. Then there are more add-ons to be had than ornaments for a Christmas tree. Yep, there’s really something for everyone, which partly explains why the 3 Series has been so popular for so long. Oh, and the fact that it’s one of the finest automobiles on the globe may have something to do with it, too. Now in its sixth year since the last full redesign, the BMW 3 Series soldiers on with key changes for 2011. The coupe and convertible get a mild styling refresh that only the keen eyes of Bimmerphiles will notice. More important, though, is an all-new engine for the 335i models. Its output remains the same, but the switch to a single twin-scroll turbocharger in place of the old engine’s dual single-scroll turbochargers combines with direct injection to improve fuel economy. Not only is the new 335i thriftier …
An in-depth 2008 BMW 650i Convertible review with Chris Moran. Presented by D&M Motorsports. www.dmautosales.com For most people, purchasing a large luxury coupe or convertible is entirely an act of passion and indulgence, and right or wrong, outward appearance can make or break the deal. Compared to the sleek offerings from rival manufacturers Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar, well…let’s just say the 2008 BMW 6 Series has a great personality. If there is such a thing as a sleeper among the entries in the big-ticket touring class, this is it. Only when you’ve taken the time to become fully acquainted with its pure driving dynamics, innovative use of technology and lower price of entry does the 6 Series’ true beauty become apparent. In its fifth year of production, the rear-wheel-drive, four-passenger BMW 650i coupe is based on the same platform used for the 5 Series sedan. But BMW aims the 6 Series higher. It has but one engine available, a 4.8-liter V8. Not a single body panel is shared with the sedan, and the front and rear suspensions are likewise calibrated for the 650’s lower ride height and sportier intentions. To keep its weight in check, aluminum is used extensively for the suspension, hood and doors. Thermoplastic front fenders and a composite deck lid do their high-tech best to keep the 6 Series feeling spry, though this is still essentially a 4000-pound car. BMW equips its 6 Series well in terms of equipment, and you’ll find but a handful of features that are …
