E82 / E87 / E88 1 Series (2008 - 2013)
BMWs throw back to the iconic 2002, with a renewed form and function. The smallest car in BMW's line up but still packs a punch. Available in coupe or convertible, powered by a naturaly aspirated inline 6 in the 128 or the turbo twin power inline 6 rocket sled 135.

A fool if you don't think the 135/335 All american BMWs are a Steal
I live in Germany 9 month out of the year, I drive an 08 C-6 a e93 335I vert, an 03 Z4
sport and am picking up a 135 and will be replacing the 335i with the M3 convertable
(wifes) The Vette may lose to a M3 Sedan once the facelift is complete.
You don't know much about what others pay for BMWs do you ?
When were you in Germany?
What was that Vin of your ED 335 and I can have someone check your accuracy
One euro is worth $1.50 dollars easy ( hit 1.60 last week )
A 135 with the same equiptment as a US 135 with ZPP and ZSP is US $38K
A German buying the same German spec car in EUROs is paying 59K euros
which is what $87K USD for a loaded one series
Play with the M-3 and the $69K USD I am spending on a US spec Vert for wife
is near 96K Euros with the same option codes in Dollars $146K ???
The warranty in Germany is 2 years unlimited miles NO MAINTAINENCE
The US Warranty is 4 years 50 K Mile with maintainence
You are touched if you think BMW is Overpriced in the US !!
I almost feel guilty as an American working for our government as I can buy at special pricing even below what stateside is , the Germans think we are Gazillionaires, did you know that the 3 series could be a 4 cylinder ? THats why Euopeans take the badge off their cars or order the free Model delete !
I lived in Japan and Korea, they find BMWs to be very high end cars and pay a huge premium, the Aussies pay $85K for a 135 and over $100K for an M-3
BMW Needs the US market, Yes you can buy a one coupe here thats lighter and has less, for More than you pay in the states ! I would be glad to find you one !
In the 30s they had a Movie where a guy sang a song "If I only had a brain"

It is not my fault that i live in the largest capitalist automobile market in the world and manufacturers are beating down my door trying to sell cars. It only makes sense to compare cars in the same country. I have no idea what types of taxes your socialist government puts on vehicles or what restrictions they place on fuel type/displacement/weight etc. What is the price in euros of the C6 vette in Europe vs the M3? That would be a better comparision as they are both being sold in the same country. Comparing country to country is impossible as pricing has to do with volume, dealer networks, marketting, etc. Even in Canada it is much more expensive to buy a car than in the United States and they are very close. For years Canadians have been buying cars in the US and then registering them in Canada.
As the biggest market in the world the US can command the best prices. It is just wal- mart on a national scale. Germany can't compete as a market globally vs the US.
Brought Money With
Ok you really are out there
I see why trolling has become a habit
I am an American, I live in Germany, they are not my government
Let me say something to you YOU CAN HELP LIVING IN THE US - MOVE !
Daimler (MB)
VW ( sub brands owned Audi, Seat, Skoda)
Are all companies owned by Germans all but the last are headquartered here.
They are a large part of the Worldwide car market.
Now since you didn't include your Vin, I take it you do not want to prove your story
More appropriate - Troll Slang-a person who lives or sleeps in a park or under a viaduct or bridge, as a bag lady or derelict
Sorry about the Troll statement
Sorry about The Troll, thought you were the Poster I quoted before.
My government is your government I am a proud American
However, the cost of owning a BMW in Germany, the European Union or anywhere else in what we consider developed countries per individual is higher by initial purchase cost,
has for the most part more expensive gasoline and has higher running costs than in the United States,
The US charges very little in taxes to cars coming to the US, BMW just wrote down millions of dollars in US Lease values becasue of a tanking market.
Yes America has become the dumping ground for all of the worlds manufactures,
I take it you are proud of that, I inturn am not yet I profit by selling my US Spec Car to a German/Eu citizen at a profit after a year of ownership Just make a few changes and Voila!
I have imported 35 European collectable vehicles into the United States when the dollar was strong, now the Europeans are buying cars in the states and sending them back
Mercedes ML Class diesel in US $48K USD in Germany 75K Euro (135K USD and guess what it is made in America !
The one series selling for $60K Dollars in the US ($60K euro here ) would anyone buy it ?
The X5 X3 are built in the US and sent to Europe,
Can you imagine how much money American car companies could make if we
charged another 10-25 Percent import duty on all cars being imported ?
Another time another story
Go to BMW .de and build a 135 and see the price, it just might scare you.
Again sorry for the Troll meant for Superstock
Um, I was looking for the"135 VS EVO" thread, has anyone seen that? Let me know, cause it's not here.
Same here man I am deciding on getting the 135i or Evo X MR. So this is what it comes down to personal preference. Because they both are great cars with different advantages, for a daily drive/(few track) car I would choose the 135i I test drove it and had a blast driving it it was fun and fast. The Evo X MR is not out yet only the GSR and I could not test drive it but I saw it looks nice as f*** in the red but the interior is its downfall plus its a Mitsubishi...so if you wanna pick up chicks the 135i is more of a chick magnet, but the Evo is more performance, plus upgrades are going to be cheaper then a bimmer. So if your into moddifying your car and you not richy rich then the evo would be cheaper in the long run because usually the Japaneses after market pars are less then Euro parts. Then you got the 1 series fast too and fun to drive has a luxurious interior compared to the Evo X. I have a tough choice to make but either car I get I will be a happy mother F***er..lol both are great cars. One can decide only from personal CHOICE to buy an Evo or 135
????? Evo
It looks like I'm on the EVO forum by reading this Thread. They are totally two different cars. Maybe if the 135i had all wheel drive it would be different? If your looking to get either car why would you compare the two? The EVO would be better for the wife to pick up the kids because of the four doors . I'm just saying. BMW 135i are kick ass cars but are so much different than the EVO. Sorry if I'm out of line I just thought I was on the BMW forum.

We arrived in Noumea quite early and were greeted on the docks with some dancers and drummers. As it is a large ship we are berthed at the container terminal. It is a bit cloudy but a comfortable 25 degrees.
Noumea is a French island so signs are in French.
There are also a lot of English spoken though it is nice to listen to the melodic tones of the French language.
Being a tropical island there are many bright colours and flowers.
These were quite a bright splash of colour in the gardens.
We saw a few older buildings such as this one which has been used as a prison and other things during its history.
Alona, Anthea, Rosemary and I wandered around the city centre for while and I dragged them into an iStore to see the iPad mini. I am not sure about that as it looks a bit small for my needs but maybe.
Then walking back to the drop-off point there was a French patisserie and of course we had to at least drop in for a look-see!
Although we were good and didn't buy anything!
Then an amble back to the pick-up point and a walk along a bit of the harbour front and a look at the ship towering above the containers on the other side of the container terminal. Even though the day was a bit gray the harbour did look nice. Although the below statue was a bit scary!
Then back on board ready for the afternoon talks.
Today was Shauna Hicks speaking on 'Finding your Ancestors in Church Records'. These are at the other records associated with a church rather than the standard baptism, marriage and burials. These include centenary celebrations, newspaper reports of church activities, church newsletters, Religious newspapers and so much more. There was a lot more church attendance among our ancestors than today so these are a neglected resource.
Jill Ball gave a presentation on A Genealogist's Toybox - gadgets and tech toys. The interesting thing of course is that pretty much any tech toy can be used for family history. It just takes some imagination.Tablets, cameras, digital recorders, laptops scanners, flip-pals are just a few of the nice things we can use.
Then there was the announcement that due to a problem with the electrics the ship would not be departing Noumea as scheduled but would be staying overnight. The means we miss Fiji but better to be safe. Doesn't really make a difference to me as it won't affect the conference except we changed the days around (made Thursday Friday) to allow for the extra day of sightseeing possible on Noumea.
Then dinner and back for Paul Milner talking on Scottish Kirk Sessions and Poor Relief Records. The Scots were a pretty judgmental lot but this trait is great for family historians who can find out a huge amount of detail about the village life by reading the Kirk session records. You really want someone who is up before the session to add the life to your family history. I am not sure how effective it was at keeping people "behaving" as there seemed to be a lot of records relating to pre-nuptial fornication!

Arthrogryposis, meaning stiff joints, is a condition that includes multiple joint contractures and lack of muscle development. The most commonly affected joints are in the child's hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees and feet.
The cause of arthrogryposis cannot be identified in most cases. When joints are not moved for a period of time before birth, extra connective tissue develops, and it can result in joint contractures. In this case, the joint is fixed in a stiff or locked position and the tendons connecting the joint do not stretch to their normal length, making joint movement difficult.
Limited joint movement can be the result of one of the following:
A genetic cause has been recognized in about 30 percent of cases.
Physical and occupational therapy, as well as bracing and exercising, may help improve flexibility, position of the child's joints and use of the upper arms. Surgery may be necessary to release joint contractures that do not respond to therapy.
The goal of both operative and nonoperative treatment is to help children gain independence in daily activities and to prepare them for school and adult life.

The hour was speeding on: hebert and some of the soldiers might return, and it was time to think of safety and of flight.
The shades of Danton, hebert, and Chaumette walk amongst us.
"The Angelus must be rung at the proper hour, friend hebert," he began with a grim smile.
Through hebert he was linked to the populace, as by the Duke of Orleans he was affixed to the throne.
He notices (January, 1627) the death of one hebert, "the first head of a family who lived by what he cultivated."
Chaumette and hebert, the followers of d'Holbach, were destroyed by the disciples of Rousseau.
hebert with specially selected troopers standing on guard over Marguerite!
They went through horrors that were stimulated by the wretch hebert, at the head of his so-called Madmen (Enrages).
hebert Rodwell, for many years known in musical and literary circles as a composer and author died in London early in January.
The name of one historical figure appears both as hebert and as Herbert in the original, and has been changed to Hébert.

It is small wonder that charles brockden brown was the foremost member of the club.
charles brockden brown died, the victim of a lingering consumption, in 1810, at the age of thirty-nine.
charles brockden brown rivals Maturin in his terrible use of insanity for supernatural effect.
Good examples of this class of unused books are the works of charles brockden brown.
Old English brun "dark, dusky," developing a definite color sense only 13c., from Proto-Germanic *brunaz (cf. Old Norse brunn, Danish brun, Old Frisian and Old High German brun, Dutch bruin, German braun), from PIE *bher- (3) "shining, brown" (cf. Lithuanian beras "brown"), related to *bheros "dark animal" (cf. beaver, bear (n.), and Greek phrynos "toad," literally "the brown animal").
The Old English word also had a sense of "brightness, shining," preserved only in burnish. The Germanic word was adopted into Romanic (e.g. Middle Latin brunus, Italian and Spanish bruno, French brun). Brown Bess, slang name for old British Army flintlock musket, first recorded 1785.

Hell of a game.
Roethlisberger did what great quarterbacks do -- with ~2 minutes to play, down by 3, he took the football and said "Mine." Both QBs played extremely well, which was a surprise given how well both defenses had been playing leading up to the Super Bowl.
Pittsburgh is the unquestioned class of the NFL. They play football their way, and their way has worked for the better part of 30 years.
They play hard, and the play tough. And, as a result, other teams play scared. It's why you see the Steelers delivering big hits instead of receiving them season after season.

The most accurate way to obtain your unique target heart zone is to undergo an exercise stress test. While you walk or run on a treadmill, measurements of your blood pressure and heart rate are recorded. From this, your particular maximum heart rate is measured and your target heart rate calculated.
A less exact way to determine your target heart zone is to determine an average based on your age. You can do that using our tool below:
If you want to know how the calculation is done, here are the steps. You might want to print this out for future reference.
When you exercise, your heart rate should be between the lower and upper ends of your zone. In the example above, the person should keep his heart rate between 93 and 139 beats per minute while exercising.
Based on American Heart Association recommendations for calculating target heart rate.

CIP honors outstanding student and S.C. employer
More than 100 University of South Carolina students earned valuable job experience and money while meeting needs of South Carolina businesses, thanks to the Community Internship Program launched by the university's Career Center.
The Career Center recently recognized the success of the program and honored Sarah Langdon, a senior in the S.C. Honors College from Troy, Ohio, as the Outstanding CIP Student and Pure Fishing as the Outstanding CIP Employer for 2010.
Langdon, a senior majoring in visual communications in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, worked with Microburst Learning, a Columbia-based company that provides online skill-training courses. Langdon filmed and edited training videos on more than 20 projects.
"Since Sarah has joined us (Microburst Learning), the quality of our videos has leapfrogged over the quality of our past work," said Ann Brown, chief operating officer of Microburst Learning. "Her ability to go into unfamiliar surroundings and capture the essence of what we needed through video or still pictures is phenomenal."
Brown praised Langdon for her professionalism and ability and desire to learn and said that Microburst has offered Langdon permanent employment.
Shabda Bhujad of Ayrangabad, India, who is pursuing a master's degree in human resources, presented the employer award to Pure Fishing, a Columbia-based fishing tackle company. Bhujad discussed her experiences as an intern with the human-resources team at Pure Fishing, citing staff members' receptiveness to ideas, organization and delegation of projects, sharing of knowledge and experience, technical skill training and personal encouragement.
"Pure Fishing crafted really demanding and high-impact projects for my internship," Bhujad said. "The human-resources team helped me build by self-confidence and assertion as an effective professional. They consistently motivated me and helped me give my best in the internship."

It is relativly easy if they had onside a law firm who would deal with small claims and pretty sure a company like them would know of a few who may be able to help out. End of the day the type of people that will be signing up will be professionals that respect MMA and who want to be on the big shows. It wouldn't make sense for someone to sign up then screw them over as they would not be able to fight again if their payments were not up to date.
In any business there is a thing called 'wasteage' which is when you lose money due to whatever reason but it is expected or should be expected. Those small % would fall into that bracket.
If 80% of Pro UK fighters signed up then they would by far be in a decent position to take any offset or hit from any loss or inconvenience

Hahahah there's not hate bro I quite enjoy a night out in the Shields.
As for guys fighting full-time, that must be damn hard work. I know there's no feasible way I could do it apart from moving back in with my parents or going on the rock and roll. Or selling drugs/my body. So I do what I can when I can. Props to the guys that make it work and struggle by, but realistically there isn't enough money in MMA domestically to be a full-time pro unless you're in the UFC or running/coaching at a successful gym etc (whch blurs the lines of full-time pro fighter if you're actually running a business). Call it four fights a year, if you come out with 4k you're doing very well for UK shows, but that's just not enough unless you've got other 'endeavours' on the go.
I understand what you're saying mate but how many of these top shows are solely responsible for all of Britains top fighters getting to the UFC? Some of them have fought on them a couple of times but the majority were on these smaller shows. I can only think of Manuwa and Sass if OMMAC have indeed signed up.

Personally i think it's a great thing and will be signing up as soon as i can get the cash together.
Was unable to travel down to London for the conference yesterday due to prior commitments so this may have been covered there and if i has i apologise but the one thing that could pose a problem IMO is if someone who is a full time fighter and contracted to one of the shows that have signed up. If they are not financially able to afford the cash to pay for SAFEMMA what would happen to their contract? Would their career be put on hold? Would the contract be null and void? Was the possibility of SAFEMMA becoming a reality placed in their contract when they first signed?
Again i was unable to make it down and may have been covered in yesterdays meeting was just something i was curious about.

The country's energy paradigm is caught between the slogans of "drill-baby-drill" and "oil is evil." The real problem arguably is that the global oil market is controlled by the OPEC cartel that artificially fixes prices. That could explain why oil prices continue to rise even though the United States, the world's largest petroleum consumer, is producing more and consuming less. Alternative fuels advocates say the only way that will change is there are other fuels that can compete and give consumers choice for the first time since the early days of the automobile. What role will EVs, ethanol and other alternative fuels play in creating a competitive market for transportation fuels? Can emissions reductions be met along the way? Join a conversation on energy markets and how environmentalists and U.S. politicians might be misguided in their calls to get off foreign oil.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
When you see your doctor about erectile dysfunction, be prepared to answer a number of questions about your health and your symptoms. In some cases, erectile dysfunction has an underlying cause that can be treated.
Depending on your condition, you might need to see a doctor who specializes in treating urinary and reproductive disorders (urologist).
To determine whether a penis pump is a good treatment option for you, your doctor might ask about:
Your doctor will likely do a physical exam, which typically includes checking your genitals and feeling your pulse in arteries in different parts of your body (peripheral arteries). Your doctor might perform a digital rectal examination (DRE) to check your prostate gland.
During a DRE, your doctor will gently insert a lubricated, gloved finger into your rectum to feel the surface of the prostate.
If the cause of your erectile dysfunction is already known when you see your doctor, your appointment might be less involved.
Some penis pumps are available without a prescription, but talk to your doctor before purchasing one. Your doctor might recommend or prescribe a specific model. That way you can be sure it suits your needs and that it's made by a reputable manufacturer.
Penis pumps available online, in magazines and sex ads might not be safe or effective. Make sure whatever model of penis pump you use has a vacuum limiter, which keeps pressure from getting too high and injuring your penis.
Many advertisements in magazines and on the Internet market penis pumps with the claim that they can be used to increase penis size, but there's no evidence that they work for this purpose.
In some circumstances, using a penis pump might help your penis maintain its natural size and shape after prostate surgery or if you have Peyronie's disease. But attempting to use a penis pump specifically to enlarge the penis could cause injury.

Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1987
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
A very dry year combined with warm temperatures to produce a light crop of small grape clusters for the Cabernet Sauvignon, yielding a wine with rich, complex flavors and firm tannins. Wines from the Chabot, St. Helena Home and Bancroft vineyards made up the final blend for the Private Reserve; a small percentage of exceptional quality wine from the Sorensen Vineyard in St. Helena was added for its fruity, spicy flavors and soft tannins. The blend includes 7 percent Cabernet Franc. The wine is high in intensity and complexity of Cabernet flavors. It is a chewy, big wine with lots of tannin and sweet, dark fruits, tarry tobacco and chocolate. One of Ed Sbragia's favorites.2007 Tasting Note:
This is Ed's favorite vintage. It's such a big, classic California vintage. Still tannic, everything's intact. Dark black fruit core with lots of spice, cedar, white pepper, menthol and rich cocoa.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 1987 Reserve is a worthy competitor to the terrific 1986. The 1987's dark ruby/garnet color is followed by a super bouquet. There are huge aromas of chocolate, spicy new oak, herbs, cassis and tobacco in this beautifully scented wine. In the mouth, it is full-bodied, voluptuous, spicy, and crammed with fruit, glycerin, and enough tannin to support 15-16 years of cellaring. Like the 1986, the tannins are soft, and, fortunately, the acids are not shrill enough to prevent immediate drinkability. This is a skillfully made, complex Cabernet Sauvignon that will not linger long on retailers' shelves."
Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Good medium red. Sexy, pure aromas of redcurrant, mocha, leather and flint. Fine-grained and sweet, with nicely integrated acidity giving shape to the flavors of dark fruits, truffle, pepper, lavender and sassafras. Finishes with building tannins, excellent length and considerable finesse. This rather suave wine possesses a firm mountain spine."
Beringer Vineyards
No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, Napa's benchmark producer since the establishment of the vineyard in 1876.
Now in its third century of crafting classic wines from Napa's finest appellations and vineyards, Beringer today is guided by the inspired partnership of celebrated Winemaster Emeritus Ed Sbragia and Winemaker Laurie Hook. Together, they craft Napa Valley wines that speak eloquently of the rich heritage of the Beringer Vineyard, while offering cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance. The exquisite wines crafted at the Beringer Vineyards display a single minded dedication and pursuit of excellence instilled by its founder, Jacob Beringer. View all Beringer Vineyards Wines
About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

And the evangelicals have been especially irked by the recent sale of a francis bacon triptych for an astounding $142 million.
She gives no nods to the Humanists, like Montaigne, francis bacon, Erasmus, or Descartes.
These include Takashi Murakami, Jasper Johns, francis bacon, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons, and two identical Basquiats.
The Met is celebrating francis bacon's centenary with a grand retrospective.
Mark Twain, Thomas Hardy, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, francis bacon, and John Milton all kept them, to name a few.
In this house the great francis bacon was born, on the 22d of January, 1561.
Julius Csar wrote a collection of them, and we have a collection by francis bacon.
It is of more importance for the present purpose to know what type of man was the father of francis bacon.
It is at this stage that the mystery of francis bacon begins to develop.
At this time francis bacon thought in Latin, for his mother tongue was wholly insufficient.
early 14c., "meat from the back and sides of a pig" (originally either fresh or cured, but especially cured), from Old French bacon, from Proto-Germanic *bakkon "back meat" (cf. Old High German bahho, Old Dutch baken "bacon"). Slang phrase bring home the bacon first recorded 1908; bacon formerly being the staple meat of the working class.
English scientist and philosopher who is noted for the wide range of his knowledge and writing on scientific topics. Bacon pioneered the idea that mathematics is fundamental to science and that experimentation is essential to test scientific theories.
Our Living Language : Roger Bacon was something of a Renaissance man before there was a Renaissance. Over the course of his long life, his energetic research would lead him to study everything from languages to mathematics to optics. He is most remembered for his insistence on the importance of pursuing fruitful lines of scientific research through experimentation. His writings describe countless experiments; while the majority were probably never performed by him, the profusion alone of experimental ideas is nothing short of astounding. His own laboratory work dealt primarily with alchemy, optics, and mechanics. He was among the first to apply geometric and mathematical principles to problems in optics and the behavior of light, allowing him to make important observations on reflection and refraction. His interest in mechanics led him to describe flying machines and other devices that had not yet been invented. He was the first person in the West to come up with a recipe for gunpowder, and he suggested reforms to the calendar, which would ultimately be implemented hundreds of years later. His novel ways of pursuing knowledge were sometimes viewed with suspicion, resulting at one time in imprisonment; but he bravely resisted all strictures on his intellectual life, even when that meant having to write and work in secret.

The first thing we address in relationship counseling is that the other person is not the problem. If that were the case, you could never be set free unless that person changes! We work toward common goals and communication techniques, but also individual triggers that cause the anger, anxiety, jealousy, lack of trust, guilt, irritation, sexual difficulties, and other intimacy issues that interfere with the relationship. That way, each person becomes the strongest and most secure self he/she can be; and that is an important foundation for any strong and secure relationship.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Welcome to the forum!
I'm afraid it is difficult, even for an experienced sonographer, to determine the baby's sex from the 12/13 week scan.
Are you going to ask to find out the sex at the 20 week scan?
How are you feeling?
Warm wishes,

Hi JBJ
Congratulations on your pregnancy. As LJ has mentioned it is difficult even for a skilled technician to determine sex from an 18-20 week ultrasound, which is why they always say 'you appear to be having a...'
At 12/13 weeks your baby is about 7 to 8 centimeters long so realistically the ability to determine gender with any accuracy is unlikely. It is much easier at 18-20 weeks when you baby is about twice its current size.
Either way this would not be a good angle to detect gender, especially if you baby is a girl. So no guesses from me.
Boy or girl, congratulations again!

Seagate FreeAgent Pro 750GB External HDD Reviewed. Verdict: 5-year warranty, Speedy
The need for data backup is often overlooked. PC invoices blame the complex steps in backing up the files of their choice. Geeks often rely too much on their memory to do manual backups as they are the group who spend most of the day in front of a computer, but without automatic scheduled backup, data is still at risk. Rather than listen to users scream the proverbial "NOOOOOOOOOO", Seagate has ramped up the speeds and warranty on their latest external drive, the FreeAgent Pro 750GB - powered by Barracuda 7200.10, and coupled it with Memeo's powerful yet intuitive backup software.

MASTER CHOREOGRAPHERS Dance Concert Plays Muhlenberg College, Now thru 2/9
Muhlenberg College will showcase world premiere dance works created by five of the region's most accomplished choreographers and two restagings by internationally acclaimed choreographers, in the College's annual "Master Choreographers" dance concert, tonight, Feb. 7-9.
"This concert is a spectacular evening of ballet, tap, jazz, and contemporary dance," said Karen Dearborn, the director of dance for Muhlenberg's Department of Theatre & Dance, and the artistic director for "Master Choreographers." "We are fortunate to be showcasing new works by internationally acclaimed guest artists and faculty."
The performance will take place on the Empie Theatre stage, in Muhlenberg's Baker Center for the Arts.
This season's "Master Choreographers" concert will feature a restaging of the second movement of "Viva Vivaldi," the Joffrey Ballet's signature work, choreographed by Gerald Arpino and restaged for Muhlenberg by Trinette Singleton, co-artistic director of Repertory Dance Company and longtime Joffrey Ballet dancer.
Singleton was the first dancer to appear on the cover of a national news magazine (Time, in 1968). She is featured prominently in the recent Joffrey documentary, "The Joffrey Ballet: The Mavericks of American Dance," and is one of a handful of choreographers entrusted with restaging Joffrey pieces around the country.
"When it's your own choreography, you have total license," Singleton says. "When you're restaging, you have to stick as closely as possible to the choreographer's original vision. It's almost a little more nerve racking restaging someone else's choreography, because you want to get it right."
The evening will also feature a restaged work by Danish choreographer Charlotte Boye-Christensen, artistic director of the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, as well as world-premiere works by: Corrie Franz Cowart, co-artistic director of Co-Art Dance; Heidi Cruz-Austin, co-artistic director of DanceSpora and a Pennsylvania Ballet alumna; Dorrell Martin, founder and executive artistic director of LEON Dance Arts NY; Shelley Oliver, director of Shelley Oliver Tap Dancers; and Jeffrey Peterson, former dancer with Danny Buraczeski's JAZZDANCE.
Shelley Oliver's tap piece, "Inspiration Calls to Me," will feature a live performance by the David Leonhardt Jazz Group. She says that the band and the dancers both feed off of the synergy of live collaboration.
"When the music is performed live," Oliver says, "the dancers hear the work exactly as they know it, but with live embellishments that just bring the work to the next level. During performance, the band influences the dancers' energy, and the dancers' rhythms influence the band."
"Master Choreographers" features performances by more than 40 Muhlenberg dance students, in a wide range of contrasting styles, from classical ballet to cutting-edge contemporary. One piece from the latter end of the spectrum is "Passage," by Dorrell Martin, one of this season's guest choreographers. Martin says he has found the process of working with Muhlenberg's dancers to be particularly rewarding.
"Karen gave me the freedom to set whatever inspired me," Martin says. "A lot of the movement is movement that I have been working on a while. A lot of it came from the heart and just from the music itself. I have wanted to set this piece on my company for a while now. This gave me the opportunity to try out the concept, movement, and music on the Muhlenberg dancers first.
"The Muhlenberg dancers were really a delight to work with," he says. "Sometimes there are dancers that are used to moving a certain way but the Muhlenberg dancers were open and willing to accept new movement on their bodies. I love that sense of freedom because it opens me up to explore more movement."
Muhlenberg College is a liberal arts college of about 2,200 students in Allentown, Pa. The College offers Bachelor of Arts degrees in theater and dance. The Fiske Guide to Colleges lists both the theater and dance programs among the top small college programs in the United States. Muhlenberg is one of only eight colleges to be listed in Fiske for both theater and dance.
Performances of "Master Choreographers" will take place Thursday and Friday, Feb. 7-8, at 8 p.m., and Saturday, Feb. 9, at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $8 for patrons 17 and under and for students, faculty and staff of LVAIC colleges. Performances are in the Empie Theatre, in the Baker Center for the Arts, Muhlenberg College, 2400 Chew St., Allentown. Information and tickets are available at 484-664-3333 or muhlenberg.edu/dance.
Gerald Arpino (1923-2008) co-founded the Joffrey Ballet with Robert Joffrey in 1956 and served as associate director for many years. Upon Joffrey's death in 1988, Arpino succeeded him as artistic director. In 1995, he moved the Joffrey Ballet to Chicago. A leading dancer with the company in its early years, Arpino choreographed his first work for the Joffrey, "Ropes," in 1961. Shortly thereafter, he became the Joffrey's resident choreographer and to date has created more than one-third of the company's repertoire. His amazingly diverse work ranges from social commentary to pure dance gems. His ballets are in the repertoires of companies around the world. Arpino served on numerous boards and councils including the national advisory council of the ITI/USA International Ballet Competition and the board of the Dance Notation Bureau. He was a member of the Arts Advisory Committee of the New York International Festival of the Arts. He served as an adviser to the Artists Committee for The Kennedy Center Honors.
Charlotte Boye-Christensen, a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, received her formal training at London Contemporary Dance School and at the Laban Centre in London (where she won the 1992 choreography award) and completed her Master of Fine Arts degree at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. Charlotte has been commissioned to create new works for: Ballet West, The Milwaukee Ballet, Singapore Dance Theatre, The Arts Fissions Dance Company, Ballet de Camaguey in Cuba, New Danish Dance Theatre, Tisch School of the Arts' Second Avenue Dance Company in New York City, London Contemporary Dance School's Edge Dance Company, Compañía Danza Contemporánea CCU and Verb Ballets in Cleveland. In 2002 she joined Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, to assist in the artistic direction of the company. She became the artistic director in 2008 and has created 24 new works on the company. In May of 2013, she is leaving her current position at Ririe-Woodbury to establish her own company CBCNOW Dance Theater. She is the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship and grants from the Theatre and Arts Councils in Denmark, Germany, Mexico and Singapore among others, as well as a recipient of the Choo-San Goh Award for Choreographic Excellence.
Heidi Cruz-Austin is an alumna of the Pennsylvania Ballet, and she has danced featured roles in works by choreographers ranging from Alvin Ailey to George Balanchine. In addition to dancing with Pennsylvania Ballet, Cruz-Austin has performed with the Philadelphia-based company Ballet X and as a guest artist throughout the United States and Europe. As a choreographer, Cruz-Austin was a winner for the 2003 Ballet Builders showcase in New York City. She has been commissioned to create works for Franklin and Marshall College, Bryn Mawr College, Repertory Dance Theater, and Ballet D'errico, among others. She was a recipient of the 2004-2005 New Edge Residency at The Community Education Center of Philadelphia and of a 2008 Choreography Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. In 2008, Cruz-Austin and accomplished dancer David Austin formed the contemporary dance company DanceSpora.

I hear you. Two weeks ago, my company restricted everyone to 32 hours a week. Last week, they announced that are going to start letting people go this week. Seeing as how I have Mondays off, I will have to wait until tomorrow to find out what has happened.

Baby, Can I "Smell Yo Dick" For Reals?
About a year ago, rapper Riskay had a recommendation for all the ladies who think their man is cheating. She suggested suspicious lovers should ask to "Smell Yo Dick." While the song was an underground hit, a woman was just beaten for using that line on her cheating husband. Just a straight shot south on the Florida Turnpike will get you from Riskay's home in Bartow to the real scene of the "smell yo dick" crime in Port St. Lucie. After the 37-year-old victim followed her man into the bathroom to get wind of the truth, he punched her in the face and kicked her to the ground. The dude has been missing ever since, but his battered wife of three years refuses to press charges. Penis sniffing and prosecution dodging, ah, the things we do for love! [TCPalm]

U.S. Navy Commander Steve Ruggiero, the Port of Long Beach Assistant Director of Security, was awarded the Bronze Star on Monday at the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioner's meeting for his meritorious service in Afghanistan.
The Bronze Star is a U.S. Armed Forces individual military decoration and the country's fourth-highest award for bravery, heroism or meritorious service. Ruggiero distinguished himself through exceptionally meritorious service while deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom as the Afghanistan Border Military Coordinator with the Border Management Task Force, United States Forces Afghanistan, from March 27 to October 21, 2011, according to the port.
During a September 2011 Taliban attack on the U.S. Embassy, Ruggiero twice moved civilians to safety under fire, despite his own injuries, military officials said. He led dozens of missions on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border at significant personal risk. In addition, his exceptional problem solving, training and program management skills saved the U.S. government millions of dollars, while greatly improving border security.
Ruggiero also received the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ISAF Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal and the Department of State Meritorious Service Award, during a ceremony attended by various officials from elected offices, law enforcement and the military.

Talk about the E83 BMW X3 in this forum!
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Want to purchase an X3 - Scared out of my wits
Hi everyone,
I'm a newb on the forum but this will be my 3rd Bimmer preceded by a 318ti and a 325xi. I did a few cosmetic mods to my E46 all because of the generosity of people posting a myriad DIYs on E46fanatics, so in turn, I did several posts of my own. I'm so glad to find this forum from jdauria from Bimmerforums !
I really want [madly, desperately, in love sort-of] to get a '04-'06 X3 but the first two we test drove both had mold in the rear foot rest area. After spending about 6 hours reading forums I'm honestly freaked out! It seems really scary and expensive to buy an X3 and potentially have to deal with a permanently leaking moonroof and have no real definite fix, short of covering the roof with clear 3M tape!
I now know will have to run a hose test on these, to be sure they are ok, but I'd like to hear from some experienced forum member on what I can do to minimize my chances of buying a future Koi pond (as one member said). I'm also scared that the sunroof leaks are possibly permanent on some models ! Yikes !!!
I'm forever grateful for any advice. The X3 drives amazingly and I really hope I can find the right one! I just want to make sure I'm well versed in the surprises that will come my way and buy with a logical mind, instead of my heart.

Me :
just find a good car and not a lemon,
all the rest will be fine.
I have NO problems with mine at all.
Every vehicle has its horror stories, but those are the exception, not the rule.
The X3 will need a couple of things (transfer case etc) at some point, but nothing to fear of if you find a well taken care of car.
A close friend has a E46 coupe, and when he power washes the car, he gets water inside from the passenger window seals.
Ask 100 other owners, i doubt there is a 2nd or 3rd that share that problem.
get a late year 2005+ x3 - the pano roof was redesigned (check the vin numbers)
Thanks very much guys !
How would I know if the pano-roof was redesigned using just a VIN ?

Me :
It may not be the sunroof that is causing the problem - - although they are known to. It might be the vapor seal in the doors that is allowing water to enter and wind up in your footwells. Of course, the car could have also have been in a flood too so you need to check very closely! I would look for another one.
Scared? Nahhh...no reason for that. These are probably the best cars on the market...and I would encourage you to add 07 and above to your search in the 6sp mt format.
The most common reason for footwell water is the vapor barrier wasn't reinstalled properly when a window regulator was replaced. Easy fix with a blow dryer and fresh butyl tape.
The pano is a secondary concern but the newer the better. I'm at 107k and mine hasn't been an issue in my 09, but I rarely open it...I just leave the cloth divider open because I like the open feeling.
Thanks for the tips guys!!
I've settled on one X3, 2006, under 100,000kms. Looked at carproof, ICBC papers plus got the complete warranty repair history from the BMW dealer.
It passed my personal soak test but for one vapor barrier.
Service records look totally fine, no transfer case issues, no leak issues. One weird thing in the service records, battery was draining due to small current draw in panoramic sunroof. Dealer replaced sunroof cassette all is well.
Taking it to a BMW dealer for the full test ($365) and in independent sunroof repaid facility for a soak test and sunroof appraisal ($150$
I stuck my nose right down to the carpet, scratched and sniffed everywhere, zero mold.
Anything else I should be aware of?

The early ones had problems with broken pigtails on the coil springs. I think the '06's might be OK, but check. My '06 front strut failed (oil leaking on driveway) at about 80K miles but don't know how you would check for that -- until it goes. Anyway, it is about a $1500 repair for both with assorted hardware. You do need to do both at that mileage too. Just stand by with a dedicated "repair fund" to avoid surprises and you should be OK. If you don't use the fund -- then spend it on yourself~!
You should look for signs of oil leakage on the struts, splatter if a drive shaft book is cracked, and VCG leakage. The strut and VCG issues are common. Dealer did my struts for $1,500 and I was only at 65K miles. If a boot goes, you're looking at about $1,000 for a new CV and remanufactured drive shaft. However, it only takes a couple minutes to spot any of these issues if you open the hood and crawl around a bit under the front end with a flashlight. Any excess oil on parts or grease splatters are a sign of maintenance issues to come.
I also 2nd the motion of pano roof problems (leakage or breakage) and vapor barriers. Sounds common although I have avoided by simply not using the pano roof.
Other random thoughts. TCM can drain battery if you have one (mine did and new battery needed every year untill it was properly diagnosed). Also, check under cabin air filter for crud in the drain holes (takes 15 seconds). If your drains get blocked you'll end up with a traveling swimming pool.

Don't be scarred.
I have a early 2005 I bought new (European Delivery) and I have no issues with anything, driven over 90K miles so far.
Get a PPI before you buy and enjoy.
My '08 with pano roof developed a nasty glass on metal rattle during cold weather and certain rough road areas. very noisy. had it adjusted under warranty. has been fine for 2-3 years now and has never happened again. My biggest problem was with jerky throttle control and shifting of the auto transmission since new. finally paid for a software upgrade (about $200) last summer at 50k miles. Best thing ever! the torque curve dropped into the 2500-3000 rpm range and now the car drives smooothly. Love this car for its fabulous laser accurate steering, smooth 6 cylinder engine, love the torque on hills with no shifting required, good a/c, good heater, nice seats, quiet running, great handling, great in snow and ice, good visibility. The nav, the radio, the cupholders, and the cruise are a little quirky but i have gotten familiar with them. Michelins last a long time and wear very evenly. most expensive repair? a new radiator at about 55k for $800. Didn't see that one coming!
+1 on the PPI! Very important -- the X3 is no better and no worse than any other BMW. If you like it, get one. They will break and they will be expensive to repair, but as long as you are comfortable with that -- go for it.
Turns out I have water in the rear foot well area. Did not see it when I inspected the car, maybe the dealer was vacuuming it daily - who knows.
Small leak in the rear trunk, turns out the hose for the wiper fluid has a break in it (not the connector) and I will have to replace the hose that leads to the exterior nipple.
Pulled apart the floor carpet (rear right) and pulled out the front passenger seat and wiggled off center console. A fair bit of water under there but guess what? There is NO connector for that hose under there !!! Everyone says the hose connector must have come apart, it doesn't exist !!! It's a 2006 pre-facelift X3
We ran the rear wiper while spraying water and nothing showed up in the water pipe. My guess is that all that water got there via the broken vapor barrier. I can see no other way for the water to get there. No rust at all.
Fixed the vapor barrier, tested, no incoming water any more, so I hope that was it. This week I guess I will put the carpets back together.
QUESTION: if the carpets are damp (I did not completely remove both seats and the rear carpet -- seems like a crazy amount of work) will it eventually dry off if no more water is incoming? It seems like the foam holds a lot of water (which I squished out by hand) it should eventually be okay no?

More leaks
Turns out the rear right door vapour seal was leaking as well. It was odd, I've fixed 4 of these now, but this one was really troublesome. The butyl tape just wouldn't stick no matter how much I warmed it up with a hairdryer, so I slowly scraped it off and replaced it. (It's been raining here so I was hoping that simply warming it up and massaging it would have worked for me (it has in the past)
As far as drying out the car (in the rain) I bought a DeHumidifier from HomeDepot $200, and ran a small heater plus an additional fan for extra circulation. A word of advice, if you are going to do this, make sure you run TWO extension cables one exclusively for the heater minimum 10A rating per cable . The current draw is large and you can melt your extension cable (before your 15A hourse breaker resets).
With the carpets lifter up, I ran this setup for 3 days non -stop. Works like a charm ! I will run in for another day just in case there is more moisture to be removed.

Me :
I would focus on;
1) one that is still under waranty, so that the things that "scare" you can be taken care of by BMW.
2) or at least an 08 that includes the upgraded horse power.
I bought an 08 still under waranty off lease and I don't regret it.
The 'increased horsepower" arrived with the 6 speed A/T (and its attendant problems) in MY '07. Although, having driven both the later and earlier versions I felt the '06 was much quicker off the line and more responsive overall than the later versions. This was with the A/T and I suspect the M/T versions of the '07 on you would actually feel the added HP. Just my personal observation and experience however -- others will have their own opinions. A warranty is vital IMHO and I regret not getting the extended BMW offering when I had the chance. Mine is currently in the shop (again) with yet more problems -- fuel transfer valve (again), two O2 sensors, drive belt replacements and oil change. The latter two are of course routine maintenance. I have just turned 90K miles.
