    Sorry to jack the thread guys. I'm new to Bimmers and I just bought a 1994 325IS. I need to learn the lingo so I assume it's an E36 with an M50? Please correct me if I'm wrong. How do you guys think these things handle in these brutal Chicago winters? I have heard that a decent set of snow tires will take care of it.

    Do you have HID/Xenons or just regular halogen lights? If its halogen then its a piece of cake

    You have the M50B25 190hp engine.
    Youll be fine driving in chicago as long as the roads are plowed. My M3 has done pretty well over the years. ABS is awesome.

    I'm going to have to check out the ABS, the light on the dash is on. I heard to check the sensors at the wheels you take an ohmeter, hook it up and spin the wheels. You should get a fluctuation in the resistance if they are working. Is this correct?

    Watch the F1 Race at CIR in Addison !

    On behalf of my neighbor and fellow gofastnut I thought I'd post what should be about the most fun an F1 fanatic can have in Chicago for the season opener Australian GP on March 29th. (Phfew!)
    Technically this is late, late, late night, Saturday the 28th.
    The new Chgo Indoor Racing in Addison will open it's doors late night for watching the race at 1:30AM.
    If you care to get a group and go karting beforehand, call Reed:

    CIR in Addison is a huge racing lounge with multiple, multiple big screens and comfortable couches. Worth checking out.

    this is going to be a very wide spread age group. from 18-60. I don't think your parents are going to feel out of place.
    it is a bbq meet...basically eat, car talk and eat some more lol

    Same here, but it's the love for the cars that brings us together, right?

    My schedule and funds aren't giving me a break anytime soon, but later in the summer I'd love to meet up. Does anybody have anything against bringing kids?
