Re: best 5 1/4 Speakers for my cab?

Nearly 2yrs old!!

Yes you can use the factory wiring to run comp's.. They will only sound there best once amped up.

Factory speaker cable goes into crossover which spilts the signal to the tweeter and mid range.

Re: just broke my locking wheelnut key need advice

most tyre shop charge around £30 to remove the locks, but most time you can get a way with using a univeral pin socket. you might be able to go to bmw to get a new key , there normaly lots on ebay just make sure its the right number.

Re: Stalling in 4th and 5th

it might just be a clog injector or fuel filter try running sum Fuel Injector Cleaner to see if that helps and replace the the fuel filter. an air leak wont cause an engine to cut out or stall , maybe the ecu need's to be reset to refresh it self check the wikki for a guide.
