    It's not a Rewards card. It's a real Credit Card. So yes, it will impact your credit score like any credit card does. It's how you use it which will have a long-term -/+ impact.

    The $70 signing bonus is nice because you get it instantly. Meanwhile most credit cards have signing bonuses significantly higher. But it can take several billing cycles and/or a minimum amount of spending to receive said Bonus.

    I believe the Amazon card is interest free for 6 months. But I haven't looked in a while. And if you have no credit score you might not even qualify. Or perhaps would only qualify for a very small line of credit. I'd consider having a talk with someone at your bank about getting a personal loan before opening up a credit card.

    No. No fees and I won't use the card. They are basically bribing you to get the card in hopes that you will put charges on it and pay the relatively high interest.

    Most people will. I won't.

    You would Want the Amazon Store Card. It's a virtual credit. No interest on qualifying purchases over $99 for 6 months.

    If you are young and have no credit, get a small loan or very low limit credit card. Make small purchases and pay it off every month. That is the best way to establish credit

    Never run up charges that you cannot pay off quickly.

    It will take a while to build credit.

    We realize that your insinuation is that we are running up large credit debt to buy expensive parts.

    In my case I did get a small signature loan to buy the car itself.

    For the parts, I traded an E46 with a blown motor for the bulk of the M parts.

    I sold a Rickenbacker 350 Jet Glo 6 string I had for over 30 years for the cash to buy the rest.

    I paid $100 and a case of beer for a set of Style 42's to use until I paint and polish my M wheels to a blinding luster.

    You got me though, I put the full cost of the Mishimoto Shroud kit on credit. Sixty five dollars and 10 cents.

    So I owe about $250 on my Amazon Store Credit. $200 of which will be paid off on Jan 4th.

    Checked my oil and coolant this morning after literally having a nightmare of my E36 overheating (the needle was all the way in the red!!) and thus a blowing the head gasket. Needless to say, all is well.

    I have 2 credit cards that are paid off in full every 2 weeks (payday)

    In order to have nice things in life you need credit or sell drugs. I for one rather have good credit. I've brought my score from low 500s to high 700s just needed to buy a car lol

    Replaced P0340 intake cam sensor with a brand new genuine BMW one. Still getting error. Thinking I threw away a perfectly good old cam sensor and that the pig tail itself failed. fuck.

    Did you buy it on Amazon? I did a year or so ago and before it was delivered I realized it wasn't my problem. I called Amazon to request a return. They told me to just keep it and they refunded my money. Something about the sensor put it into a shipping classification Similar to batteries and some chemicals.

    Hi yeah they are custom, but you can get free endlinks by ordering m3 spec coilovers, then you get to run the sway bar to the coilover just like the M's get to do

    Really pleased in the build quality! The box weighed 55lbs, i am surprised by how robust they are and how solid they feel.

    Bought SEM vinyl spray to match BMW dove gray for my interior trim panels and carefully masked all of the panels and resprayed them after, of course carefull cleaning with alcohol and the SEM cleaner. You may recall I posted a thread on recovering the back bubbled door cards which were very close to but not perfect to the BMW OEM color. There is also a youtube vid I did on the process.

    I also repaired the top inside plastic pieces which had cracks in them and became unglued from the inside top of the panels. I repaired the plastic with the instant bond glue which is fantastic! Later, I will glue them back on to the rear of the panels using sitka construction adhesive..the best I've found so far!
