Looked fun but makes me sad I don't have a M though Maybe next time..just busy last several weeks with bbqs, housewarmings, and weddings. So busy I'm finally getting around to putting the summers on the other day. But of course I have an issue. 1 tire has dry rot in several spots with 2 spots where it was a about 4" and maybe a couple centimeters deep. Now I wonder if that's why I was losing about 5lbs every 2 weeks.

Happy news. BMW North America will pay $44 per day for an Enterprise rental car if you bitch about the airbag recall to them. You'll need to go to your local dealership and sign some paperwork and pick the rental up there but you have to keep your car as well so you'll need to bring someone along for the ride.

You can just go right to the dealer and have them set everything up for you.

The deal is also that you can't drive your BMW until they have the parts to complete the recall right?

Nobody is getting a BMW rental car are they?

they said "mid summer" they should have the parts

you also have to call and schedule before hand so they can make sure to have the enterprise car there for you

yes you can't drive your BMW at all basically...still contemplating it

Would've jumped on this during the winter, but having an E93 I can't imagine garaging it for the summer and driving a Corolla

Ordered a VRSF 7" FMIC to add to the list of shit installed next week. New OEM turbos, inlets, walnut blasting & fmic. Hopefully it sounds better than it does now. I'm not a fan of rattling noises.

What do I set my wastegate settings to in JB4 once I get new turbos? I suppose I'll have to play around and see what works best?

Played with a C6 corvette this morning. Must have been the 6.0 or 6.3 model as I had to continually let off the gas or I would have ran into him. Nice looking car though.

I don't think I ever shared these photos. Any questions just ask:

You can see the dark rich smoked beans in this picture:










Beans!





This is how big boys cook steak. This is in total just a pinch over 18lbs of steak:
