Ack. The USB port in my center console quit working. On closer inspection the plastic slot divider broke off. Anyone know if they'd cover this under warranty? Or should I just order the new part and replace it my self?

I got my PPK installed today.

Hey gang! I just moved back to DFW after living in NYC for a few years. New to the e90 board but wanted to check in to this DFW thread. (Also trying to get those first 5 posts out of the way so my PMs start to work! hehe)

Hopefully after the hectic holidays, I'll have a chance to meet some folks at the coffee and cars I keep reading about...

Hey guys, just ordered Downpipes, WW Meth kit and cp-e Blow Off Valve. I will most likely install everything myself except for the DP's (no jackstands), and I hear they are a pain. Where is a good place to get them done? What should I expect to pay? I will get the rest installed there if its reasonable. ps. I already have a JB4 and DCI

stilov · 12-21-2011, 10:15 AM

PM me...I know a well priced, good shop.

Hey. I am moving to the Dallas area in Jan for a job. Will be keeping an eye on things here as I used to jump up to Chicago once in awhile for meets. Any good tuning shops in the Dallas area? There isn't crap here in St Louis.

Pole Position is now open in Frisco if you guys didn't already know. It's an indoor karting track that has several locations around the US. Joe and I are heading out there this afternoon around 2 if anyone's interested in joining us.

WEBSITE

Here's a discount package where you can get 3 races for $30 (instead of $64):

Here is my vid from Pole Position. Very fun!

Best lap was 27.7.

acj75 · 12-23-2011, 02:52 PM

Fun times for sure. Here's a vid I put together. You can see me pass Joe cleanly near the beginning and then watch him pass me later by running me into the wall

UltraRacer13 · 12-24-2011, 12:35 AM

There was clearly a gap. What was Senna's quote- "if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver."

nitehawk · 12-24-2011, 06:12 AM

What up DFW folks, I'm spending my holidays down here

Ha...yep, there was a gap. I got impatient following that girl and tried to pass on the outside, which is impossible in that turn. Left the door wide open for you. Looking forward to going back

+1. I was really tempted to join y'all last week but spent the time catching up on car maintenance and last-minute Christmas shopping.

CsarsGhost · 12-25-2011, 08:56 AM

Merry Christmas

Hi all, new forum member and first time BMW owner from Northwest Fort Worth. Recently bought a 2011 335 convertible and lovin it so far. Still getting used to taming the left foot though, this is the first auto I've ever owned.

Looks like there is lots of activity in Dallas/Collin county...is there anything more Tarrant centered?

-Mark

Yellowceta · 12-28-2011, 09:53 AM

Welcome! I'm up in Keller and haven't heard of much going on in Tarrant County. One day, I will bite the bullet and trek over to Collin County and catch up / meet some people. Then again, it would be a good excuse to get out and drive

CsarsGhost · 12-28-2011, 05:35 PM

So these are later then I said I would get them out, but here are some initial pictures...
