FS: 19" VMR VB3 19x10R 19x9.5F WITH TIRES. AZ

Hello



Up for sale are my VMR VB3's as stated in the title, tires are Falken FK452 with about ~%80 tread left. VMR centercaps are included.

Here are wheel/tires specs:



Rear: 19x10 ET25 with 275/30/19 tires

Front: 19x9.5 ET22 with 245/35/19 tires

Reason for selling: just wanted to change and went with a different wheel set up. They're great looking wheels and the concaveness looks amazing, plus the CSL look is never old on our cars ;)



Wheels do have some curb rash. Asking $800 picked up from Gilbert or Phoenix AZ. Would prefer local pickup but I'm willing to ship to the lower 48 states only, $950 + Paypal fees. Pm me for more info. If really interested PM me your phone number as I'm not on here very often as you can tell :facepalm: , and we can go from there . Just to make sure there's no confusion, These are listed by my buddy Marv2009 on M3forum as well ( I cant post a FS thread there yet :( )



Thanks for viewing my post !



Here are some pictures ! :thanks:

Bosch ignition coil

First, I'd like to apologize for making a thread about something already discussed, but knowing you guys, you'll flame me anyway. Enjoy. Reason I made this thread is cause I'm having trouble testing the ignition coils for my 330i. I have tested three coils by placing the multimeter leads on pins 1-15, but I keep getting 1.8-1.9. I understand the acceptable range is 0.4-08, correct? I also read somewhere that if they read higher then they're bad? Funny thing is my cars not misfiring like crazy...If this was the case. I'm only testing to rule out potentially weak coils. Keep in mind I have 3 bremis ""berus" which I understand have a higher 1.8ohm rating? Someone please clear this up for me. All I want to do is test the ignition coils. I don't know why I'm getting such high reading. I know I can just take the plug out with the coil connected and test for healthy spark while placing thread to a metal surface whole using insulated pliers, but the meter test is much more accurate. Please and thank you!

Car Getting Warmer Than Usual / No Heat / Cooling Pipe?

OK so I just got this 00' 328i for $725 --- yeah $725 lol



Sport package and cold weather package, 165k miles and looks excellent for its age.



Im having a cooling system problem with the car , I just changed the water pump because the old one was toast, now my car is running and driving fine the temp gauge stays right in the middle and heat is hot.. ( After filling and bleeding ) I can drive and drive but once I come home and park in the garage I notice smoke/steam coming out of the grill and when I pop the hood the smoke/steam is coming from the front of the motor ( Not near the cooling reservoir, screw or radiator ) but in the middle/front of the motor. Im kinda thinking it might be this guy here http://ift.tt/1dLHiR6



Can anyone help/confirm this? What should I do....



P.S I am noticing shiny flakes in the reservoir which I am thinking is BARS stop leak from previous owner(s) so I am trying to get all this crap out! any in-sight would help , thanks

Futher Audio Knowlege Needed!!!

Hey, I have stage one bav audio speaker and feel the system now that the clarity issues have been addressed. Needs much more bass!! I have researched sound dampening in depth and know this need be done. but till then, I enjoy the stock deck look and don't want to change it. So I installed a punch 12" and an old amp I had laying around in an enclosed box custom made with Rockford specs in mind from there website specifically for the sub. I used an inline convertor to convert the speaker inputs to the outputs needed for my amp(basic) BUT, I now just finished that install and am unsatisfied with the clarity of the bass. Like it is not spot on or doesn't resonate the proper frequencies. IDK!! Not knowledgeable enough in the subject to know what to do. Is there a cheap equalizer I could use and if so, how do I tune it? I'm up for any suggestions!!!
