    iMac SSD upgrade/hybrid drive

    I'm about to replace the hard drive in one of my old iMacs with a SSD (24-inch mid-2010 if that changes anything). I believe I need to retrofit a thermal sensor as well as use a 2.5-to-3.5 inch adapter for the SSD. I've found the parts on Amazon (OWC, NewerTech, 3rd party sellers) but they're...

    AV geeks - HDCP + Resolution problem on display

    So I have this old high quality professional series LCD display which looks & works great with HDMI inputs, but it won't support HDCP signals as it was not intended for consumer use. Also, it only accepts progressive inputs (e.g. 1080p60, not 1080i). Anyone know a good solution to fix both the...

    Where do you guys get your parts?

    I'm looking for a few OEM items & accessories (black performance grille for F30/F31, plate frame, possibly wheels, etc)... Where do you get your parts? I obviously don't want to pay list - who's doing the best discounts? Any local dealer, or should I look up out-of-province dealers? USA?

    Frequent travelers, need your input - Frequent flyer miles, etc

    Hi guys, I need some advice... I will be traveling by air a bit more this year (3-4 times to the US & at least once to Europe, maybe 1 or 2 regional or in-country flights). I would book all my business traveling with Air Canada whenever possible. A lot of people tell me that I should look...

    BMW 3 Series Diesel unveiled at Montreal Auto Show (2013 328d)

    And here comes the 328d. Not worth posting any other pics as it looks like any other F30, but get this... 4-cyl Diesel engine + xDrive all-wheel drive. I'm buying - bonus points if it comes as a Touring. The only thing is that the specs are wrong on the spec sheet on the iPad - hopefully...

    Anyone own a Slingbox Pro HD? I need to test something.

    I just got a Boxee Box to use as a Slingplayer set-top box (as a SlingCatcher replacement if you will). For some reason HD streaming isn't working properly when I try to set it to Best (HD) quality - stream goes to 640x240 which is even worse than "Better" quality which is fixed at 640x480...

    RWD drivers + winter, how well do you manage?

    Thinking about converting to RWD... any comments? I currently have a 328i xDrive (STEP) but might switch to a F30 328i RWD as I'd like to go back to 3 pedals. However, I might consider the new 8-speed auto as car magazine reviews seem to be pretty good. How do you guys manage, do you keep...

    What should I do?

    So I have this 2009 328xi on a 48-month lease with 24k/year. I originally leased this car because I used it for work but now I don't - I use a company vehicle whenever I need to hit the road for business. Now I use it but not as much as I should and I am really under my allowed mileage. My...

    Plate frame hiding "je me souviens"

    Reading another thread made me ask myself if plate frames hiding "Je me souviens" are illegal... I remember plexiglas protectors being prohibited but what about larger plate frames hiding only the JMS part (e.g. some Ontario dealer plate frames are like that alot)... Anyone know what's allowed?

    Any Audi A3 owners out there? Comments?

    I'm looking at an A3 right now as I know that this will be the last model-year offering a hatchback - rumour has it that the next version will be a sedan - and am hearing good things about these cars. I am thinking about a TDI but might go the gasser route if the deal is good. Any feedback...
