That might be tough for me - I'm an Apple fanboy

How do you like the 4 so far? My 3Gs battery is on it's last legs so I'm thinking about getting a 4 too.

I love it, seems more streamlined. Video calling is pretty sweet.

Ugh Iphone 4's are soo sick. I wish it wasn't $400 to buyout of my Verizon contract. I swear they are trained professionals extremely proficient in making a sucker of of me

I know what you mean. My Verizon contract ends next month and I couldn't pass up iPhone 4. I was literally up all night downloading apps first night I got it.

Highly recommend checking out the info on these. There will be a few different models available on multiple carriers. Been following them for a while now and they seem quite awesome.

Here are a couple reviews:

There are quite a few things about WP7 that already blow iphone/android out of the water. But yes, some things will take some tweaking and new features will be added. It sounds like they plan to release updates somewhat frequently which will be nice. Personally I'm stuck with Verizon for a while longer, so I won't be able to pick one of these up right away. But definitely worth taking a look at for anyone in the market for an upgrade right now.

Welcome to the forum! Got any pics of the car to post?

I know one (formerly) local guy who put the ESS blower in his E46 M3. You might be able to track him down on e46fanatics.com forums... user name GJGM3. I know he had all the work on it done locally in St. Paul, although he moved to TX earlier this year.

No guys, I am not in the market for a tune, I am just curious

Hey Anvar,

Welcome Back first off. Well, the tune is supposed to add around 15 bhp plus a bit more when coupled with exhaust and intake. The car feels a bit more smooth and seems to pull a tad bit harder... keeping in mind I have the exhaust, filter and tune now. Also it gets rid of the governor, which is nice as I could get there going into turn one at BIR but don't for the sake of my only car.

However, it is not a HUGE difference and to be honest the only reason I got it is because the guys I got my exhaust through gave me a smoking deal on it since my exhaust took forever to arrive.

MNm3 · 11-01-2010, 04:15 PM

You uh... thinking about some mods to the M Anvar???

By the by.... Minnetonka STILL has my car! I went out west to a pumpkin patch with my girlfriend this weekend and the drive WOULD HAVE been much more fun with my car!

Don't know anyone that has something like that, but PLEASE, when/if you decide to do this to your car... can I have a ride in it?

Not thinking about any mods. I really do like the sound of the Meisterschaft exhaust though and it seems criminal to not let the v8 sing!

How was the trip to the pumpkin patch? I had to do the apple orchard last fall!

ajvee · 11-01-2010, 04:56 PM

My OEM 18s also just came in! I am looking forward to putting those on.

ajvee · 11-02-2010, 12:19 PM

ajvee · 11-02-2010, 01:30 PM

I'm still up for a meet. It would want to be pretty soon though, I don't know how much longer our luck will hold out with this good weather!

ajvee · 11-02-2010, 04:40 PM

How about next Saturday, the 12th of November?

BrianMN · 11-02-2010, 04:49 PM

My next few weekends are free so anytime can work!

Joe- It's probably going to be $60 if we get 5 or so cars...however if it's only 2-3, it'll be the normal rate of $75.
