Rhino Ramps, yep jacked up the car and placed them in opposing directions to keep the car from shifting while working on the exhaust.

I had the ZHP knob in my e46 and didn't like it so I switched to a weighted LeatherZ knob which I kept and may put on the car at some point, but I haven't found the stock shift knob lacking as much as I did in the E46 so I haven't been in a hurry to change it.

Yeah on the track I have been told it is annoying and some desire it turned off as giving an advantage to the guy behind as he can see how hard you are braking.

Lol that was the most important thing for me... but then I didn't care about the seat belt gong or window rolling up with driver door open.

Have the option to, but I actually like the amber corners and chose not to delete them.

Just changes the drift angle before traction control kicks on, allowing more drift than US mode.

This is a video demonstration of LCI BFD (Brake Force Display) coding that I did on CircleK's car.

It looks like in this video the BFD lights are disabled. Can you only get EITHER the extra BFD light OR blinking regular brake lights? There's no way to get both?

You can have other lights turn on during BFD i.e. Rear Fog Lights with additional coding. The rear blinking tails lights in the vid is the current LCI Euro Spec.

Wanted to thank tlp for helping me adjust my trunk that wasn't installed properly by the body shop. He also buffed out a deep scratch a lot better than a detail guy could do. He's very detailed and always sees things that are slightly off with my car and ends up fixing them.
He's like the local crack dealer. Go see his car, and you want more stuff for you own car.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
