What with all the exercise/health/nutrition threads?? One earlier today was asking about what makes a healthy sex life, this is a car forum for f***s sake.

If you have to ask how to have a healthy sex life on an internet forum , well then, you probably don't really need to ask the question in the first place.

A lot of you guys have met me, so that pretty much keeps me from bragging about how much of a beefcake I am. Otherwise, I'd be all over those threads.

Good luck,

When I had my E46, I went up to Dallas to visit my brother. I hit a pothole that was so bad, it literally broke one of my motor mounts. Every time I pressed the accelerator, it sounded and felt like my engine was going to fall out. I took the car to BMW of Dallas, and after a few hours they told me it checked out and they couldn't find any issues. Metropolitan Collision here in Houston found the issue immediately. I'd never recommend that place.

I'm currently in talks with IND to get the ESS VT2 kit, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

Btw, congrats again, Nawaaz. They couldn't have made a better choice.

I'll be getting the ESS Stage 2 supercharger most likely. I've been on the list for AA's supercharger for ~9 months and they still have yet to inform me ANYTHING about the supercharger. wtf. I evened PM'd Omar/Jean asking them about their new HFCs that didn't throw codes.

No replies.

So I'm pretty much fed up with AA, they did the same thing to me when I wanted an exhaust. They did try to make it up to me by offering their exhaust to me at a VERY good discount, but I had already bought the Eisenmann.

So I will be going with ESS, the question is when. I want to wait and see for a few months how they hold up, just as standard precautions. I haven't decided whether I want to install the blower now or wait until my warranty on the car is up. I probably won't do the latter.

Yeah, I think that's a smarter move.

Those two things will inspire much more confidence & control when pushing the M to its limits, time and time again.

+1. Do not be behind him going under a bridge going WOT. Your ears will be ringing. I know from first hand experience

[Nawaaz]

^ hahahehe

Say Dev, are your gf's ears ok after the time she filmed one of our exhaust vids??

Ok guys. Im trying to do my V1 Hardwire and I have read every post I can find on this. I have the CF roof so I read that one. I am 99.9% sure I have found the metal clip. And I am pushing on it. The console will not pop out of the roof. I feel like Im going to break something... Any advice? Anyone else do this!?! HELP!!!

I had to take the entire headliner down basically but I figured it out. I wasnt pushing on the right area (insert dirty joke here). Now Ive got it down and trying to do the wiring on it. Poor lighing + too cold to do it outside = takes a long time.

[Blake]

you should have thrown some alcantara while you had the headliner down
