hmm lets see............... :biglaughb

I live about an hour from you.....:12:

Hello,

There are a lot of drivers from the Deerfield/North Shore area.

We have a meet every Thursday night at 8:00 PM.

Go to www.dtmpower.net regions forum and then chicago area.

The only good at dtm is the chicago area forum.

See u there and at out next meet.

i live about 20 minutes from you........

I live in southern Illinois. :(

I live in Mundelein (SW of G. America), and seem to be the one living the farthest north in Illinois.

Any Windy City BMWCCA members here?

Anyone work for a Pharma company or employed in the Health Care field?

I live in Hampshire, IL (near Marengo) and drive to Chicago every day. Except tomorrow, I took the day off to install a UUC lightweight flywheel, new clutch and Rogue SSK in my 95 M3 ;).

Sounds like a fun day Jamie! I recall seeing a post (not sure which list) of yours a cpl months back regarding a Porsche organized dyno day in Milwaukee which you were going to attend.
How did things go? I was actually thinking of swinging by, because I was in Milwaukee that morning to see a friend in the hospital, but it didn't wok out.

I wish I new about your installs tomorrow, 'cause I would of taken a day off of work to give you a hand. Another time perhaps.

Jamie:

Let me know your impressions of the Rogue SSK. I have one on the way as a Christmas present. How did the install go. I am probably going ot to with new clutch/ Rogue lightweight flywheel sometime in 2003.

Steve

I live in Glencoe, unfortunately the town is overrun with Bimmers (all for the wrong reason). People buy them as sort of a status symbol, and no one really respects their cars accept for me of course.

Example, last year I took the roadster to the dealer for the 1200 mile service. I sat their in the waiting room staring at my car the whole time he worked (I don't trust dealers). It was a rainy day, and a woman decided that was the day the dealer was going to show her how to install her wind blocker on her 330 (automatic) convertible. She puts the SOAKING wet top down into the storage compartment so that they can install the windscreen.


This is what I have to deal with.:(

But hey, I love IL>

The Dyno day went well apparently. I had an ear infection so didn't go but I understand there were about 8 Porsches and 2 BMWs.

Well, today I got the flywheel on and now just have to put everything else back together tomorrow. Clutch goes on about 8:00am and everything else should follow -- hopefully.

Well out of the box it seems like a very thoughtfully engineered and precisely manufactured linkage. I have the UUC Evo II SSK on my 330i, the Rogue seems every bit as well made but I think that the weighted selector rod is going to be a very nice addition when compared to the UUC. To my mind the UUC seems to be too light and as a result tends to be notchy specially when it's cold. The weighted selector rod looks like it will solve this problem and smooth out the shifting.

I'll let you know when it's on and I've driven with it for a while.

What's up people. Just moved to Island Lake and attend dtmpower meets when I get the chance.

elmhurst checking in here..!

Hey, I'm way west compared to most of you guys....over in Naperville.

Grant, youll be surprised how many BMWs are in Mundelein and Libertyville. Im right off of Butterfield.

>Grant, youll be surprised how many BMWs are in Mundelein and >Libertyville. Im right off of Butterfield.

Yup. I've lived in Mundelein (Midlothian/Winchester) for the past 8 yrs, and have worked about 20 min. west at Abbott Laboratories for the past 12 yrs, so I've seen my share of Bimmers in the area.

I'm in DeKalb. My girlfriend lives in Chicago so I spend weekends in there. Thank God Lower Wacker Drive has re-opened. Hope the up coming pot-hole season doesn't ruin my rims.

Potholes suck! They are a rim killer for sure! At least I run 17's in the winter, because my 18's would be ruined.

I live in Glenview, and work just north of Lake Bluff. You Abbott guys should know where The Last Detail is right?

I run 19's in the summer, and 14"s in the winter :confused:

Hey...I live in DeKalb too.....what kind of BMW do you drive?

SJJ28: Not on your M3?:eek:

89 325is (the "s" is for SNOW!!)...there's your 14ers

you got it Nimble!!

The 5 inch difference in wheel size is funny to see when they are parked next to each other!!

Steve

I imagine that is quite a site, but, what profile rubber do you run, or do you just leave the gap?

I have the stock size 195/65/14's on the 325, but the car is also lowered with an H&R cup kit (wayylowww)

the M3 has 30and 35 series tires on the 19's, and that car is also lowered with Bilstein PSS9 kit.

Netier car has ANY gap!

Make s the NSX look like a 4WD, its all stock.

Netier car has ANY gap!

Awesome!

Im from tinley if anyone knows where that is :) Southeast of chicago... about 30-45 minute drive if that...

I know where Tinley Park is, isn't that about 2 hours south of Chicago?

would it happen to be silver and parked on Varsity st. ever so often?

Hey guys, go to bmwexperience.com for chicago land information. there is a chicago region forum and most the chicagoland bmw guys hang out there for meet information. We have meets every week and sometimes more than one meet. We have track days, mods days. everything, check it out.

I'm from Chicago but as Dinan3XI I tend to frequent BMWX more then the regional forum here. No offense, it's just there's more Chicago-based people there. I'll drop by every once in a while now. It seems to have gotten better.

Hey, I'm from Mundelein too. I live right by Carmel High School. :) There IS a lot of BMWs in this area. It's weird that I never browsed this forum before until now because I'm trying to sell some wheels. I didn't know that there is a BMW meet around here. Where is it at again? I just bought an RX-7 so I hang out in the RX7 forum a lot and go to the RX-7 meets.

Kathy

Well there are weekly meets at the Schaumburg Fuddruckers on Golf Rd. There's a post on this forum w/ more info as well as on DTM and BMWX regional forums.

I am from Pekin ILL (just south of Peoria). I am about 170 miles from Chicago. I am in the Chicago and Suburban area alot for business!

JP at fall-line motorsports. Tell him Nick (inspar8r) from euroteknik or Naz sent you. You'll get a deal. He's quality.

Don't have the number off-hand though...

cool thanks i called him but i forgot your name because i was calling from work, he quoted me $90 labor, for a 5-6 hour job. does that sound about right.

That sounds like a good deal to me. 90 bucks for 5 hours labor. You cant even speak to someone at BMW for 100, lol. jk. -Mike
