Yep, I guess it went straight from the lot into the service bay.

Sales person said it got new airbags on Thurs. I have been waiting on the
'takada no shrapnel' option for a year +

I just called my dealer a week ago and they said they are only up to 2006 on replacements and my 2008 isn't going to get airbags for another 6 months probably.

Of the 16 people worldwide have died, 15 where in a Honda and one person was in a Ford Ranger, so seems the implementation by Honda is a higher risk, so thinking our risk is a bit lower at least.

Very nice new ride, love the color - I have Montego and that and Lemans are the colors to have in my book!

Yeah, that sounds reasonable, probably a little less driver margin on them due to front end rigidity, crush zones and maybe even drivers being closer in Hondas bc they are sometimes smaller frame.

Id certainly would give an extra car length (or 4) for cars in front if I Was in a Honda waiting on repair...

thanks on the props.. I'm looking forward to the updates of the IS.. and I think I like lemans better than the Monaco..

Good luck

BSM n54iS · 03-27-2017, 01:19 AM

Nice find Op! Check all the options, I didn't see it had the hk sound system to go with the nav, or heated seats.. See if you can get the price down

335e92tx · 03-27-2017, 10:12 AM

Listed with both heated seats and HK in MSRP

Do do it!

Just kidding definitely do it, love mine.

335e92tx · 03-27-2017, 11:31 AM

I also found someone who has a set of pull out M3 seats.. :-D
I think they will work nice.

SingleturboVert · 03-27-2017, 01:09 PM

Thanks for the tip, just bought this car..

Just kidding. I thought about upgrading to a 335is, but trying to find an E93 with all the options and color combinations is a bit of a pain for the amount of money you'd have to spend. I paid 18k for my car and I've got around that much in mods, so I think I'll just stick with my car

Tiago@VRSF · 03-27-2017, 06:50 PM

Car looks great! I hope it works out

Chris@VargasTurboTech · 03-27-2017, 11:41 PM

Looks great. Drive 'er hard!

335e92tx · 03-28-2017, 11:17 AM

ugh,, they just called and said airbags have not been replaced after all and can't be sold as CPO with that pending.. grrr..

Well get on it man.. !!

335e92tx · 04-15-2017, 12:38 AM

Blast - they took down the link -

Will post pics of old and new sat

335e92tx · 04-15-2017, 05:17 PM

New one not as speedy as old with mods - but I can fix that.
Got Pilot Sports so it does handle good - but not a whole lot better than the 10/06 build with 131K.
A little more refined with the fluid engine mounts - no vib at all well over 6K - but kind of looses that RAW feel..

Time to flash..
