You've been busy with the mods lately

What else have you planned?

Hey Nick, how is the new iPhone? I'm planning to pick one up once I get back from my upcoming trip, just curious about your first impressions...

I've finally moved into the 21st century and bought myself a data phone. I got an HTC dash 3G. I absolutely love it so far

Not sure yet, I am thinking Remus Sport exhaust next. My intake never came last night. I was pretty bummed when I got home to nothing on the front step. I am hoping that it will come today. For performance, I don't really know what else I can do. I did the main things so far.

- PBX
- AFE Intake
- Remus Exhaust

What else should I consider?

Headers, supercharger, standalone, and an iphone to support the unavoidable addiction to E90post!

I saw the long line at MOA too. Some of the articles I've been reading is about the bad reception.

Intake is in! What a difference in sound when you step on it!! The AFE Stage II is an awesome fit in this car! I will post some pics after a bit. I am going to let this storm blow over.

Sounds like you've got the performance improvements pretty much covered! Beyond suspension, there are probably only cosmetic items to look into, like the M Sport kit, maybe a different interior trim?

I hope nobody had their car outside during that series of storms. I didn't see any hail here in Eden Prairie, but it sounds like most of the metro did...

I'm at work and saw the storm pass by. Dark clouds, sirens going off, strong winds. Got pretty crazy.

Guys on my way back home to uptown, there was water literally upto the top of cars' hoods and water was getting into the stores along the sidewalk. Pretty sweet!

I am happy to report that the 330 was in the garage when we got BASEBALL size hail!! The yards/house has a lot of damage though. =O(

Shit man, baseball sized hail?? That's f-in scary, I can only imagine what kind of damage that would do.

Yeah, it was some of the worst I'm seen in a long time. Just glad that there were no fatalities or anything in the area. We can fix everything else.

Anvar, Sorry for the delayed response. To your question: I was a tad apprehensive about having a child. However, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me!

If you are concerned about buying a used car; I have read many success stories from fellow BMW CCA members who have purchased used cars from other members. They are fellow enthusiasts who take great care of their vehicles; as such there isn’t many “deals.” Often times sales are contingent on an inspection from a private garage. While I can’t personally attest to it, it may be worth the peace of mind paying a premium for a well taken care of car. Check out the classifies on the BMW CCA site.

I just got rid of my old flip phone a couple of months ago. I went with the Motorola Droid...Love it!

ajvee · 06-29-2010, 11:31 AM

Chaps,

I think I need to performance drive my car a bit to get some of the love back. I've autocrossed once before and it was quite a bit of fun. Is there a place where I can go to just do some runs for a fee?

Cheers.
