Hopefully no one knew where it came from !!
I accidentally let my foot slip at the bank once, as you know banks have that roof over whole thing. It hit like 6500, and my exhaust gets loud above 5000. It didn't help that there were people in each lane

After sitting for seven days during the winter storm, I went out and started it up and cleared the windshield. Perhaps I'll run a few errands tomorrow before a photo project on Tuesday.

Should've kept them OG
I'm still trying it out. I may just get OG roundels again in the very near future just in case. It doesn't look the same in the photo as it does standing in front of it though. I've already gotten a few compliments and I've only had them on a couple hours haha

I just had Michelin A/S 4, ultra high performance tires installed, on my rwd E90. I must say, they’re really good in the snow. I’m talking around 1-3 inches of plowed snow. Anything over that, my E90 stays parked.

Looking forward to warmer weather, so I could give it a good wash and wax.

You should also get your wheels painted this color along with getting your seatbelts in the same color. What the hell go all out and maybe to the interior trim too.

Then you'll complete the look and you will look like such a bad ass.

Nice I just picked some of those up for mine. Haven't installed yet, still have my snows on for now.

This gets even better.

Yeah, I saw that. But, they won't reimburse money back for my old tires since I didn't buy them from Costco.

On the other hand, discount tire can reimburse money for my old Pirelli tires.

Go figger I've had luck pretty often doing a PN search and looking for things ppl have misidentified in the description, or left out the pertinent part that makes it worth $, like this was just listed as "N51 Air Intake Manifold OEM 11617559523", nothing about 3-stage or good for upgrade or anything. I got that magnesium VC for $50 cause it was identified as a M52 VC, so matter how you search something is wrong with results, but the PN and pic were right.

Well I started the attempt at retrofitting the new handlebar switches to the old wiring harness. Turns out the old one is way more complex for whatever reason.. Old harness has more wires per switch than the R6 does lol
