I lived in Miami for 5 years. From what I remember, the riding season for bikes was just as short as up north unless you don't mind riding in the sudden "unexpected" torrential downpours. Riding a...

Randallneighbor - I too was shopping for a used 545i but soon found that I would have to take too high a mileage penalty to justify the difference in price vs. new. I ended up paying 60k for a new...

I think that Clubhead has really done us all a massive favor. His data shows what pretty much every respectable tuner is telling us is true. The exhaust systems of modern cars are a significant...
