How good IS BMW's 6 cylinder engine?
Anyone else get a valve lifter ticking in the E90 I6 (2007 330), when engine

Remove front speaker on 2006 330xi
Thanks Jeff,
I'll keep an eye on it. Given that it's under warranty, I'd rather not pull

Remove front speaker on 2006 330xi
I think the driver's side speaker has a slight rattle.
Are the speakers easy to remove? Do the just pop-out?

squeeky steering wheel
I have had to chase squeaky steering wheel issues on two separate cars. A
