Hi all, it's the weirdest thing it started on 3/30 when I was coming home from getting some McDo, and at first I thought it was bass from the car behind me. Then when I get home, which was about 3 miles, I hear a definite gurgling sound coming from the rear of the car... it sounds like someone taking big straw and blowing air into the gas to create bubbles...

It did it again today when I started it and went to work and when I came home. But it is not a constant thing, the sound seems sporadic.... I am going to bring it into the dealer tomorrow morning ,and I hope it does it for them tomorrow so they know I'm not crazy....

I talked to the service adviser today and she said that they have never heard of this and so on....

The gas gage had 4 bars till empty and I has 1284 mi. on the MCS and it's an '08

Bought these and didn't install them cause got myself an R56.

Outmotoring sells them for 60$/pair + shipping.

Got full set (front and rear - 2 pairs) - would sell for 90$ shipped to Continental US.

Im am currently researching aftermarket wheels for my 2003 coop S. I have found what I think I want in then PIAA FR-S wheels. The set I'm currently looking into are 17 x 7.0, 4-100, 42mm OFFSET, my question is will these fit? (mostly worried about the offset) And if so how does that effect the tire pressure senors?

I recently had to change one tire and the sensor has been going crazy since so i fear what will happen with a whole new set of wheels and tires.

Thanks:confused:

Anyone know about a good interior surface cleaner and/or leather treatment for the interior? I don't want to take it to my neighborhood car wash where they coat every surface in shiny armor-all.

I don't see a Week 15 yet (even after a search), so I figure I might as well start one.

I was just talking to mini (ASK-MINI) and it looks like I'm scheduled for Production next week (April 7th-12th), and it should be completed during this time as well. Looks like that's Week 15, or so they tell me. :)

I've ordered a Clubman S in Pepper White with Black roof, and lots of extras. Heh, more than I'd like to admit. :)

So... Anyone else hitting week 15?
