    Owners with BOSE Stereo system - How do you like it?

    My 06 M6 Bose is the easily the best "stock" car stereo system I've heard in any car I've owned. (10+ cars). Its even better than the $3000+ I spent on audio in my 1980 Malibu back in 1998. Granted, it was my first (and last) stereo build, and I had little idea as to Wtf I was doing. Still...

    Engine Ticking/Rattling

    Which engine do you have? How many miles? When was your last oil change? How many miles between changes? Did it ever run low? I believe the same thing is happening with my 06 2.3.

    Sudden problem, don't know what's causing it... HELP!

    mine does it to. it almost feels like losing grip in a light rain. like 3/4 of the tire is covered in oil. (best way i can think of to describe it) i definitely say clutch chatter / shudder. and separate from that, it has the worst slow speed fuel management i've known. trying to maneuver...
