On my weekday commute in my 35i, it's not unusual for me to get down to around 14mpg going 5km to work and...

These are the standard wheels for the 35i in Canada. Seems the 28i and 35i...

+1 on the 35%

My mistake... it was probably more around $45 (at 50% off, it goes on sale pretty often). I picked it up even before I got the X3, figuring that my wife's Mazda3 battery would die from being...

I had a charge battery warning on Christmas eve, when it was about -20 here in Calgary... this was shortly after taking several short (10 min) back-to-back trips. Cold weather starts are very hard...

Maybe your ambient temperature sensor hadn't cooled down yet. When I pull out of heated underground parking into -10 degree weather, the 3 degree temperature warning doesn't chime for 3-6 blocks.

Which dealer for service? Calgary, AB

Same question.

Seems the auto climate control is very misunderstood.

When set to AUTO, the fan speed control that you set is the maximum speed that the system will use in order to heat/cool the car. Once it gets...

Even third party rates aren't very...
