I have the stock halogen assemblies.

I have a 2007 BMW 328i 4 door sedan. I'm curious about moderate mods and recently upgraded the brakes and noticed a nice difference, nothing earth shattering but noticeable. I live on a mountain and drive a long twisting road to work every day. As the brake mods worked out I am thinking, maybe for a little money I can get slightly better performance out of my engine...

As I read the forums it's clear this isn't a simple set of answers. For example many manufacturers claim that their chips or software give both HP and MPG improvements and that sounds dubious to me. Also what about intake and exhaust that seems the easiest and potentially cheapest route, no? Also there are some that promise to fix the lag from the crappy fly by wire system BMW foisted upon us.

At the end of the day all I'm looking for is a little more pep for low risk and not a lot of cash to start. My car has 52K on it so I am out of warranty but I don't want to Just blow it up or sink too much cash into it. I like the car but I'm not a racing it.

Any help you can give is appreciated. :-)

Thanks!

I have a 2007 BMW 328i 4 door rear wheel drive with 52,000 miles. I am replacing my brakes and rotors in the front do I have to replace the $30 pad wear sensor as well?

I see several other Thai cocunut based curries on the market now and we ownour own private label but no one seems to know how to can or bottle cocunut based sauces in California. Can anyone else help point me in the right direction? These guys aredoing it: http://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Green-Curry-Jasmine-10... , & these guys too: http://www.gingerpeople.com/featured/thai-green-cu...

Thanks much in advance

I'd like to know what you think of him now especially if you are or were a believer in the man made global wamring hoax. Do you feel betrayed or does he matter? Do the almost daily revelations abotu the CRU, Russian data, fraudulent weather station data, double counting and the refusal of the researchers to release their raw data for open review bother you? Or do you feel that the US EPA and NASA should be trusted even though they based their data and actions on the CRU? Tell me how you feel.

I support LEGAL immigration but not ILLEGAL immigration. Illegal aliens are criminals under the current US Federal Law, do you support the rule of law or should it be suspended to allow more illegal aliens in among us?

Here are some fine examples of the cream this year's illegal alien felon crop. All of their horrific crimes were 100% preventable since if our corrupt elected officials had followed the law NONE of these rampaging predators would have hurt a single American.

Please review thsi news story from Houston and let me know after reading it why it is okay for the United States to allow brutal illegal aliens swarming across the border everyday. As CBS, CNN, FOX and almost every other news outlet are now reporting horrifying stories like the one below are NOT isolated. They are happening all the time all over America and more and more Americans are dying at the hands of illegals. In my opinion if illegal aliens were not allowed in the crimes they committed would clearly have never have happened.

The crimes of these criminal aliens are not accidents they are simply behaving in a way that tjhey feel most comfortable and enjoy protection from prosecution such as the Gang Sanctuary Policy (Special Order 40) in LA.

Here's the latest news, warning even though it is from a Houston station it is hard to read:

Woman Charged in Minn. School Bus Crash

Funerals for Hunter Javens, 9, and Jesse Javens, 13, were to be held at the school Monday.

A funeral for Emilee Olson, 9, was set for Sunday at a Cottonwood church, while arrangements for Reed Stevens, 12, of Marshall, were pending.

The killer an illegal alien from Mexico has no driver's license and is in the US illegally and blew through a stop sign.

Recently a Texas man shot two illegal criminal aliens robbing a neighbor's house. The Family's house he was protecting were themselves LEGAL immigrants so there is clearly no racial motive. Even the Black Panthers have not claimed in their protests any racial motives.

Also the Police now say that the man who fired was also confronted on his own property as well.

The question is really do you think that the rest of the nation should follow Texas' lead in this area or should the rest of the Nation condemn Texas Law?

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Friday that challenged a suburban Washington county's recent effort to clamp down on illegal immigrants, one of the toughest such crackdowns in the country:

Thank God it's about time that the government started following the law. Illegal means illegal and they have no rights period. This was upheld by a Federal Judge who tossed their vile claim to rights in the US> I can't belive the unmitigated gall of these illegals; they dare demand RIGHTS here in the US after they have brought their crime waves to the US!

Illegals violently kill 25 Americans every day and 7 of 10 of the FBI's most wanted are illegal aliens:

Finally it seems that the "legal" "profession" is starting to get that if they keep violating the will of the people that we are going to rise up and sweep them from office and

Contact your Senators today!

La Raza is pressing the people (traitors) it owns hard to pass the "Dream Act" on Wednesday. If this abomination passes it will be one of the largest shamnesty action in US history. It will grant illegals more rights than US citizens. It will force all US taxpayers to pay for scholarships to illegals as well as in-State tuition for illegals, something not even allowed to actual legal US citizens or residents. The opportunities for further abuse are endless. Please use the link below to contact your Senator and as many other Senators as you can:

Report any illegals rallying in support of La Raza or Shamnesty:

To report any suspicious activity please call ICE: 1-866-347-2423

The problem is simple. Illegals are invading the US and we've simply lost the rule of law in America. Only a fool would have any faith in the US Senate, the Judicial System, or the President to do anything to support the rule of law.

Even at my local car wash that once legally employed, students, young people and other hard workers only bad tempered illegals remain. In the past there was great service and a decent price given by legal US citizens many hispanic. I respected their hard work and have been a long time customer.

Now the place changed hands and it is 100% illegal. They pay the same wages as before but the work is terrible. Almost no English now, they wax over dirt, bugs and tar. Even though I am respectful speak enough Spanish to get by they try to sham and get angry if I stop them from waxing over dirt and bugs. Last week a car was stolen while I while waited.

The illegals at the car wash want good money now they've taken the jobs but they won't do the work.

I knew I was in paradise my 1st morning in Thailand. And it moved my spirit in such a way that I feel that traveling to Thailand is a life changing event. For years though all I'd heard mostly from western women was that Thailand was a seedy hole crawling with predators and abusers which it is not.

After a while I met my wife and feel deeply in love and we are happy together everyday. Still there are a lot of posts like the one recently

( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuOtM... ) where several women came on and bashed men AND Thialand. What they said was just plain wrong, yet this stuff is all over the web.

Anyway there are a lot of decent ladies on Yhaoo and I was just interested in their opinions.

Thanks!

I just got a call from the RNC. I was in the shower today and wondering why they had not called in a while. Anyway they called me today at work and asked for a donation. I politely refused because of their sell out under the table deal in immigration. They want to give illegals blanket amnesty and all sorts of preferences and tax money from the rest of us.

We were BETRAYED.

As I was talking the young woman said she understood why I wasn't giving. She also said I was the nicest person she'd talked to today. She said that most people were yelling at her about immigration and cursing her and the RNC over immigration and not giving a cent.

For any of you who know the RNC and the type of people that donate it is extremely weird to here of this type of behavior from them as they call from a list of long time donors.

So my question is will the RNC get the point and stop the SHAMESTY push? Or will they continue the fraud and implode in this election cycle?

Let me know!

Mexico stole California for example from Spain, who in turn stole it from the Indian tribes that lived in California at the time. There were never any mexicans in California (not one) before Mexico stole the land from Spain or the California Indians. Also The Russians had settlements that were in turn taken by Mexico so the claim that California some how is part of Mexico by right is really silly but I'd love to hear what the illegal immigration crowd that supports this fantasy of Mexico having a moral right to California thinks.

Would they give it back to the Indians and have all those of Mexican and European descent leave the State to the few remaining native people?

By the Way both Spain and even France could make a claim for all of Mexico now if they support turning the land back to the "real" owners.

Where would it stop? Don't forget that 150 years before the Spanish came to Mexico that the Aztecs were stealing land form the Mayans in the South of Mexico...
