BMW Recalls Certain 3 Series Cars For Loose Driveshafts

By Jonathan WelshBMW AGBMW is recalling certain all-wheel-drive 3 Series cars.

BMW AG says it is recalling a relatively small number of all-wheel-drive 328i and 335i sport sedans from the 2011 model year because of a possible problem with their front driveshaft bolts. All of the roughly 190 affected vehicles have BMW’s xdrive all-wheel-drive system and were built from Feb. 8 to July 29, 2011.

In a recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the German car maker said if discovered loose bolts on certain vehicles that were being processed at its plant prior to delivery to dealers. it appeared the bolts hadn’t been tightened to the proper specification during assembly.

 If the bolts the bolts were to come loose during driving, the drive might notice noise or vibration from the car’s front end. Unnoticed, the condition could result in further loosening to the point where the driveshaft may disengage from the front wheels and cause a breakdown and increase the risk of a crash.

Under the recall BMW dealers will replace the front driveshaft attachment bolts free of charge. The recall is expected to begin next month. Owners may contact BMW at 800-525-7417.

Creative ideas for unique "COTTAGE-STYLE" garden ?

statues? waterfalls? path? fence parts? wagon wheel? you suggest some ideas!

these suggestions are so good, i'll just add one thing: cottage gardens are, by design, not too "constructed" looking. the plants look as though they were stuck in any ole' place with no real organization. that's the big difference between cottage and formal. have fun, and put the shorter stuff in front and you'll be fine.

my cottage garden i just use found pieces of art. i have old pieces of picket fencing that i have honeysuckle growing up, and lots of birdfeeders/birdbaths. old iron fences work well too. i also have a few saint statues tucked into my garden, under trees, etc. you can use pea gravel to form pathways with boxwoods edging along the paths, that is very "english cottage garden". also lots of roses, lavender, hydrageas, sweet peas, camillas, vines (honeysuckle, jasmine). hope that helps!!

Can I put 22" wheels on my 05 dodge dakota?

I found some lenso wheels that I like but they only come in 22" will they fit without mods?

should be able to but you would need low profile tires (like you would want any others) any tire/wheel dealer would be able to get you the right 22" wheel and tire

yes, just make sure it has the right lug nut patter first.

yeah you can fit 24"

How can I clean my Chrome Wheels?

I bought my car years back, and the inside of my chrome wheels are just about black from the dirt and brake dust from over the years. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything that can clean all that off. I have tried scrubbing, but it seems like it's going to take more.

try bar keeper master it works for chrome it in the cleaning department

it probably ate into the rims due to lack of maintenence…next time take care of your ride

Try NOVUS polish. They have 3 different kinds of polishes and shines. Harley Davidson Motorcycles co. only trust that brand.

go to your local auto parts ask for chrome cleaner.simonized makes a good one.
