Brian will install all other supporting mods for pizza and beer.

Thanks for the welcome. I've had the car less than 2 weeks but love it. Already have plans to get a new fuel pump. I'll check into the other stuff too. Be in touch....

Guys, sounds like Nick is itching for a winter meet as a final send off for his car. It is going to be a very emotional time for him no doubt. How about we say the 31st of December during the day somewhere? A quick lunch goodbye to Nick's car?

We should wear all black to mourn the departure of his beloved.

Welcome! These 335i's are really a great car for a many reasons. From the factory, they are very quick, and Once you get a tune on it, you'll be shocked at how amazing this car performs. It's really one of the most under-rated cars on the road right now.

I think Nick was kinda joking about the HPFP, but if yours is going out then by all means have it replaced.

Let us know if you have any questions or inquiries!

Haha for sure.

It's kinda unfortunate, but I got the BMW car cover when I got the car and still haven't used it once. For someone that doesn't use it daily/weekly, the covers would be great.

Guys,

Do you know where I can take some advanced motorcycle riding classes? I've been riding for almost 10 years, but would like to learn some avoidance maneuvers and stuff. Is there a place here that I can learn some of this stuff?

BrianMN · 12-22-2010, 10:29 PM

I would recommend the Dakota County drivers course. It's the 'training' facility for police and other performance driving jobs. They also have motorcycle classes which are aimed to make you more comfortable with cornering hard and pushing the limits of the tires. Otherwise, I'm sure BIR has some track days for motorcycles!

can you imagine turn 1 pinned at 160-170mph?

QFT. Took a friend for a ride in my car this past summer, and I believe his words were something to the effect of "This Shiv guy is a GD GENIUS" hahaha
