The corporation is based out of Munich in Germany, and is also the parent company of Mini cars, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. BMW is one of the best selling brands of luxury vehicles on the market today. For owners of BMW vehicles, you know well that these luxury vehicles take a lot to maintain; various parts go out and need to be replaced throughout the life of the vehicle. As an owner of a luxury vehicle, you will want to use OEM parts on your vehicle when performing maintenance, to ensure the continued high class quality and performance of your car. This will leave many of you wondering what exactly an OEM part is. The term OEM confuses many car owners, because it is a term that tends to get used in many different ways. At its most basic definition, an OEM (which stands for original equipment manufacturer) part is the original part that came on the vehicle at the time of manufacturing/purchase. The reason it is referred to as an OEM part is that while it was the original part used on the vehicle, it was not produced by the car manufacturer, but instead it was made by a secondary company. So in contrast, any replacement part you buy from a retailer other than the original manufacturer (also known as an after-market part), is not OEM. On a luxury vehicle such as a BMW, it is often […]

Used Nissan 350z Headlights
Nissan 350z Headlights telwink / Foter.com / CC BY-NC-ND Headlights are one of the most important, yet overlooked part of your Nissan. Headlights are, by law, mandatory for safety purposes. They not only are for you to see while driving at night, in low light, or during storms but for other drivers to see you too. On average when your lights are on low beams, they should shine about 150 feet in front of your car, which gives you time to react to things in the road in front of you. Headlights are also a big aesthetic part of your car, and usually one of the first things people see as they approach. If they are not as shiny as they should be, it’s the first thing people notice too. To keep your car happy, the bulbs should be changed right away if they burn out. However, if you notice that your headlights are dim even after you change the bulb then get a replacement headlight. Headlight dimming is usually caused from road-wear. Road-wear happens as you drive and is unavoidable. Basically small debris from the road spring up and hit your headlight lens over and over, causing small scratches that pile up and make them looked fogged or frosted. Small chips and cracks can also form, letting water, bugs and dust inside the headlight which shortens the life of the bulb itself and greatly limits the amount of light that can shine out. It also makes your Nissan look a little less awesome, because of how little shine the headlights can produce all scratched up.When replacing your headlights for your Nissan 350z you do not have to buy new, used headlights are just as […]
