So, here is the story. I will answer all my pm's later today.

I am not one of those husbands that just buys a car and comes home and says, look what I got today. I do have my own business and wife does not ask about all revenues nor do I tell. I put almost all net earnings toward my salary anyway save for a small slush fund and the company pays for my car/insurance/phone. Point is she has no idea how much I pay for my car. Her comment has always been as long as you can afford it and don't bring any less home, I don't care.

I was very upfront about what I was doing and why. I even showed the cars I was looking at to get her opinion. We even went so far as to go to an audi dealership together with kids to see how we fit. It was determined that the fit was not good...but... On the ride back, she opens the door about using the van more and that could work with the TTS.

So given all this background and perceived support I continue to move forward. I find a car, negotiate a great deal with cash back to pay taxes in IL that was a push for me as far as payments. As I am asking her a question for the credit app, she all of a sudden has a problem.

Basically it went from support to why do you want THAT car, you're so selfish, its just for you, you and your girlfriend (wat????)...so I say, ummm...ok how about this instead (shelby)...why do you have to have such an EXPENSIVE car?? So I make the mistake of pointing out that the van which she bought new was the most expensive car we have ever bought...oopss...

So things escalated and it turns out she on top of all of the above she has concerns over her job. That and the impracticality of the TTS are fair points and had she voiced these thoughts earlier instead of waiting until the last minute there would be no problems. However alot of shit came out of this the least of which is why can't I be satisfied driving a hyundai elantra or a nissan juke?? Basically, the words divorce and lawyer hves been thrown around alot the past couple of days...

Anyway, I am keeping the 3 and am modding the shit out of it. I told her if it brakes and it isn't covered I'm wiping my ass with the bill and giving it to her.

Mods that I am looking into and looking for ideas:

Perf shift boot
perf ebrake and boot
black headliner (almost time mark)
new hood
upgraded turbos
BBK
slotted rotors
ss brake lines
meth kit
occ

Any other ideas??
Fucking juke, sorry to hear about all that shit tho. BUT, suspension has got to be up there I have 557xx miles and she's gettin sloppy. BBK (lines come w/ i think), then turbos comestic later

FWIW I set mine to 75% and left it...it was fine (not throwing the codes for emissions - too weak or the codes for being set too strong). I didn't use a code reader so just kinda winged it... worked out though
Wait the bms fix is adjustable? I get some cel everyone once and awhile

Suspension is a must, you really dont need a big brake kit, as it will not increase your braking performance on the street or any sort of non-r compound tire. Your best performance upgrade is going to be tires, lightweight wheels, and a shock/spring (if you want lowering,Bilstein/eibach personal preference) combo.

As far as brakes go, an aggressive/quiet/excellent street pad and blank rotors would be the way to go (axxis ULT/Brembo or Centric blanks), stainless lines are a waste. Let me install them, I do a great job for free!

Dropped the car off at Laurel for the HPFP recall, got a 2011 e90 N55 xdrive loaner. You can definitely hear the turbo spool, there's a nice wwwwwpppppshhhhhhhhhhhhhh every time you let off the throttle.

And in front of me in the service bay was an E46 M3 w/dinan badge and a fall-line license plate frame. They started it up and pulled out and I spooged EVERYWHERE!!!!

Gary, you know you have to clean that up or you could have to come out of pocket for any damage to the loaner.
