Original Nikasil. I researched the heck out of this car when I bought it. I bought it in San Jose. I've put nearly 35,000 flawless miles on this car in over two years. Idle is smooth and no indication of being rough even after running in this 100 degree weather. Power is strong and I dont lose any oil.

I am the 4th owner but the first three owners were all related. Two Oracle Execs and their mechanic owned it.

The clutch was replaced by BimmerClinics in the valley - a very anal retentive mechanic whose shop floor you could eat off. He also replaced my engine mounts without my authorization. That is why I stopped going to him.

The rest of the work (except brakes) was done by the M Shop in Glendale / Eaglerock. Those guys know this car and have taken good care of it. I will continue to take my wife's Mini there.

I've attacked and resolved all vibration issues starting with the front suspension and finally breaking down and doing all four brakes (with OEM Brembo rotors and new pads). My old rotors and pads had a ton of life left but they just were out of balance. I change the oil every 3-5000 miles with Mobil 1 10-50 (I think) Extended Performance oil.

Only one of the comfort seats is in the car and I did not wire the mirrors in cause frankly, I got tired of doing it. The sport seats are great if you are not as big as me. The drivers side sport seat has a twist issue but that is easy to fix. I actually took it out twisted badly cause I was going nuts trying to get it out.

I am in So Cal. I bought this from Northern Cal in early 2005 and really am uncomfortable with it for my commute. I am 6'3" and just doesnt work for my body type and frame. Plus too much work during driving so I need to dump the manual. I have replaced it with a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Hemi.
