Wher edid you get a whole hub? That's only a slight more than the cost of bearing + shop time.

More at 12 and 6 than 9 and 3. After taking off the wheel, brake caliper, and tierod end, if I grab the hub with one hand and put the other on the back side whre the CV is sticking out. and wiggle the hub, i can feel the back of the CV move relative to the spindle body. it's small, but there...

Ok, I don't mean to be difficult - but could you explain how a "bad tire" or a broken belt in it would allow the whole wheel and hub assembly to wobble as a whole, relative to the outer spindle, when I put my hands on it and shake it/ The movement is small, but requires no rotation.

Thanks for the input. Been eyeing that 12 ton press, but don't have the space right now... The vibes manifest in 2 ways. 1 - on highway, a little wobble. Can feel it in te hsteering wheel. If I have to brake heard, you can REALLY feel it. 2 - rolling somewhat slowly down the road, can feel the...

I'm about 90% sure my front D-side wheel bearing is getting bad, have vibes at high speed, the steering wheel shakes, and there is very slight wiggle up-down when grabbing the tire - but it's not the hub moving. FSM calls for a SST to get the bearings out... basically looks like a press. Is...

Dangit I keep meaning to check this. Did everything clear?

Bah. I was already in "here" reading about other stuff and thought about this. it was less effort to just ask, than actually put on my shoes and go outside and dig through the manual.

Am I just an idiot - or is there some way to change the brightness of the dash/HUD lights? Most cars have a knob below the wheel on the left or right side. Our M5 has a bunch of blanks but nothing I can find. The dash lights get really dim when the headlights are turned on, I want to turnthem up!

Nothing, you need air in order to have compression waves. (bang) 152 dB is well beyond severe hearing damage. Somehow the appeal has missed me. I do like teh door installs though.

Which one? The SKU224? I'm att he same crossroads. We don't use an Ipod or MP3 player, but our previous car had a Kenwood radio w/ a USB port right in front, we just streamed all music right off a standard thumb drive. IMO that is, by far, the way to go. No more CDs etc or a extra unit to have...

wait - just so we're clear - the only connection between your Nano and the car is the 3.5mm jack?? Nothing else?

So we bought a brand spankin' new shiny awesome cool '10 Sport 3 weeks ago. After our first long road trip, I can already tell the plastic panels in the back cargo area are goiing to get scratched and scarred up pretty quickly. This has happened in my Protege5, they look aweful from years of...

Ditto on this. I am going to be replacing ours soon and would like to make use of the existing aux line. Is it at all possible to use that thing w/o having to cut the factory wires and splice on something (like an RCA or 1/8" stereo)?

i had a P5 w/ the in-spare sub. Actually i still havethe sub - when teh car was totalled i kept it ;-) Those subs are nothing magical. They do add a little bit, but I took mine apart once and was astounded at small/crappy teh speaker in the unit is. Actually, there's a thread on here somewhere...

Well, so we did it... Got a '10 M5 Sport, copper red. Seems to have zero extras/options. At only $17,7 total (incl all fees) before state taxes, the price difference between new (w/ a whopping 32 miles, 6 of which we put on during test drive) and a low-mileage '08 being only a few thousand...

Looking at getting an 08-10 M5. 95% of our listening irght now is via USB flash drive plugged right into an aftermarket radio. No stupid external devix and Aux port. Rarely bother with CDs. 1 - can anybody please list/clarify the differences between the OEM sound system packages?6 CD vs 1 CD -...

Just for clarity - wife's car was totalled, right now she is bumming a loaner. So we have a few days (maybe ven a week) but cannot wait for the '11. Chances are good we will get an '08 or 09, but I want to get a best-price o na '10 for comparison, w/ the rebates + 0% + loyalty cash, may not be...

Also, if the fog lights are junk (??), are all te hvehicles pre-wires for them (liek I'd expect) so that a set coudl be easily added later? I'd like to have fogs but for the $$, I don't mind adding my own.

Thanks for teh tips, very helpful. We will hone in on an 08 or newer. I'm speccing and emailing local dealers for their best price on '10 models now. Looking at the spec sheets, I'm no treally seeing much difference between teh Sport and Touring, besides a fancier radio, sunroof (is it an...

Hey guys. Long term P5 owner (lover) here. Unfortunately last week my wife's much beloved Matrix was totalled, and we're looking for a replacement car. The family is growing (5.5 y/o and 1 on the way), P5 seems a good choice. Wife drove one Monday and liked it. She's only 5' tall so few cars...
