With 37,500 miles! Any chance that its something simple? I just passed emissions test a few weeks ago. I checked the gas cap, but that was fine. I do oil changes myself so I don't reset the oil change indicator.(Low mileage) That can't be it? Joe

I was interested upgrading the wheels and tires on my 2002 Z3. Tirerack.com has an excellent site that shows the fitments of the various wheel / tire combinations, as you all probably know. I like the staggered look, with a wider rear tire. I'm considering moving to an 18" setup. Tireracks'...
