    By Nico DeMattia

    In March, famous BMW tuner AC Schnitzer announced that it’d be closing its doors. After decades of developing some of the most iconic aftermarket parts for BMWs, and countless race cars, it seemed like the end of the line. Now, though, in what would feel like a dues ex machina if it were in a novel, the tuner is getting a last-second lifeline from a new owner to keep its doors open, according to BMWBlog.

    E30 Horn Repair (Part I)

    By Rob Siegel

    September announced itself with a few things. Cool air. The trees beginning to change color. And Zelda the Z3 and the FrankenThirty needing inspection stickers. I checked the Z3’s lights, wipers, and horn, and all worked, so down to the inspection station it went. To my surprise, they failed it because the wiper blades were bad. But the inspector was correct, and “bad” was generous—there were strips of loose rubber just flappin’ in the breeze. […] The post E30 Horn Repair (Part I) appeared first on BimmerLife.

    By Nico DeMattia

    We’ve been in BMW’s Neue Klasse era for a little while now, and its headliner is the all-electric i3. That doesn’t mean there isn’t room for the good old fashioned 3 Series, though. The 3 Series has always been BMW’s bread and butter, and while the i3 is essentially an electric 3 Series, the gas-powered car is still the most important car in Bavaria. BMW is a 3 Series company and now it has a […] The post 2027 BMW 3 Series: Neue Klasse Looks and Up To 437 HP appeared first on BimmerLife.

    French Golfer Wins a BMW iX5 With a 163-Yard Hole-in-One

    By Nico DeMattia

    I don’t watch golf, nor know much about it. But hitting a hole-in-one seems like one of the most impressive, if lucky, achievements in sports achievements. The odds seem impossible to me. The hole is barely bigger than the ball, and it’s often almost two entire football fields away from the tee. Naturally, whenever it does happen, it can be rewarded with an exciting prize. In this case, a brand-new BMW iX5. French golfer Frédéric […] The post French Golfer Wins a BMW iX5 With a 163-Yard Hole-in-One appeared first on BimmerLife.

    By Rob Siegel

    Okay. You got me. This was on my wife’s 2013 Honda Fit.

Last week, Maire Anne and I were driving home from seeing an old friend in Gloucester. We weren’t far from Newton when we began hearing some light grinding […] The post Lessons Learned on a Brake Job appeared first on BimmerLife.
