Just got these today they're called Chambers,and there by the RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. The quality is top notch with some great fit and finish. They're extremely stylish,and more importantly the sound quality is incredible. They offer some unique features aside from the noise cancelling technology,like a built in LED light that actually moves to the music like an equalizer. They also allow you to form a daisy chain of sorts,and I can link up to 20 other headphones to share my listening experience.

I had to retire my Beats by DRE,which are too base heavy,and somewhat frustrating. I've had those headphones die out on me on several occasions while working on some of my beat machines. The noise cancellation on the Chambers are battery powered as well,but when the battery dies you still have a quality sounding headphone. Yes,they are expensive,but I'm very pleased so far. And would certainly recommend them to not just to producers or djs,but to anyone who enjoys listening to music the way it intended to be listened to.

I got them in this color.

A 5-Series, yesterday. I always wanted the E39 in my garage

How much they run you? Did you buy BMW oem?

I only changed out the fronts.

I got BMW OEM rotors. After shipping it cost about $100 for each rotor. Of course there are cheaper non-oem's but considering I wouldn't be doing a brake job anywhere near as often as an oil change, I spent extra for OEM.

For the pads though I went with Akebono Ceramic pads. I wasn't happy with the high amount of brake dust that the OEM pads generated, and I read posts by others who had gone with the Akebono pads and said there was a big reduction in brake dust. Apparently the new OEM pads are much better, but of course cost a pretty penny more. For both front wheels, the Akebono pads cost about $70.
Having driven the car for two days now (including stop-go weekday morning and afternoon traffic)...and as I also read, the feel is different to the BMW pads. The BMW pads have that strong bite as soon as you touch the brake. In casual driving it can be a bit too urgent, but in traffic it's a very reassuring feeling to have. With ceramic pads like the Akebono's, it is a more linear brake pedal feel. If you want to stop urgently, you gotta put the effort it on the pedal. It's definitely not a bad thing,.. it's just different. It's a much more pleasant feel when you're driving casually, but there are times when I miss that sporty bite of the OEM pads.

I'm still getting used to the new feel...but overall I don't regret my purchase. Saved some good money doing the install myself..so definitely happy doing that DIY.


Here is where I bought the pads: http://www.amazon.com/Akebono-EUR918A-Ultra-Premium-Ceramic-2008-2010/dp/compatibility-chart/B003E22UCC

I also buy my oil-change kit from getbmwparts.com ...and also bought that fantasticly colorful BMW M3 GT2 model from them.

Don't get me wrong, not judging you or anything, just wondered why they were there in the first place, the EVO comment would've been there even though they would've been boat mags or playboys or what ever.
Just wanted to make that clear so that you wouldn't get me wrong. Nice TV though, doesn't it disturb the eye a bit though? I can't imagine having my television any other colour than black 'cause I'm frightened it'd steal too much attention while watching a movie or something.

On the other note, got myself:

For



This really ain't becoming cheap, been thinking about putting a coil shock in the rear and maybe a BOS 170mm fork. Next thing is wider bars and XO shifter though.

Tell me more plz! I just got a Diamondback hardtail mountain, and want to change the drivetrain to Sram X7 or X0.

How do you find Sram's compared to Shimano?

Regards!

Damm

Thanks for ruinning my morning

 

[Zonda]

Panterror, that is awsome! How much did you pay for it?

 

[PanterroR]

^Don't ask, man... It's expensive in Italy, but it's even more expensive when it arrives here... cca 10k €...

 

[martinbo]

Aren't you a bit big for a road bike?

 

[Zonda]

Christ! My guessings were around there, but I was hoping to be wrong. You'll have great fun with it, and best of all, it will live long enough to give your kids a ride too!

 

[Sayyaaf]

[PanterroR]

Aren't you a bit big for a road bike?

Yeah, it's an expensive "toy", but as you've said, i'll keep it that long that my kids can ride it... In fact i'm thinking about keeping my Cannondale EVO, it's only a little more than a year old and i cannot get today 50% of what i paid for it...

the terrorist is back ! hey man ! long time good to see you around.
