Nice and shiny If these are the bad pictures, then I can't wait to see the pics that Eric took. By the way I like the your HID halos, kind makes me wanna change and get the higher kelvin one instead now, too bad they are on the way already.

Fentanyl, what temperature range did you go with? You may have mentioned it,but I cannot recall.
Glenn, he did indeed use Swissvax. That stuff smells insanely good. Eric is sending me all the info on regular maintenance (technique, products, etc). Interestingly, he was talking a setup with a pressure washer and chemical treatment/physical filtration which gives soft water that allows for washing at home with spotless drying, kind of like some of the wand wash bays. The odd thing about this is...I would really like to become adept at this myself. I really find polishing/waxing/regular washing to be relaxing and almost therapeutic. Maybe my plate should have had OCD in it somewhere? BTW, Glenn, would love to see pics with the new wheels. |

mmm.... so purdy.... I really want to see how clean this'll look in person and check out the Halos. The 6000K I have is nice but it's wild seeing some of the really high temp ones.
I know I drive my 911 through winter but now that it's nice outside, every time I was the M3 or the 911, I always don't want to drive them for fear of getting them dirty. I have to agree, for me it's almost therapeutic when I was my cars and see the end results. I don't think I have enough time to wax & polish though.

The CR Spotless kit is nice but it is big money. I've considered it but to explain it to the significant other, well gonna have to hard sell it.
I have softened water at home so I rinse with City water but never let it dry. I'll get some pic of the car and Neez and post them. The rears are insane Quote:

Spotted: Space Grey E92 w/ M6 Wheels parked at Victoria Golf Course this morning.
Black E90 with dark tint all around and stock 18s going from River Valley Road up 105 Street this evening. Both looked amazing. I'm finding it very hard to see a color I do not like on the M3 right now. I'm definitely worried that after seeing/hearing everyone's cars in person, it'll be really hard to keep my self control in check. Then again, I was thinking of instead of spending money on mods, I would do the performance driving schools instead this year. Anyways, I would definitely be down for a meet this week depending on the time in the evening.

Hey you didn't mention how the AA software was!! I am down with Thursday night between 7 or 8 since I have a hockey game at 9 and I don't get my car back till then as my custom stereo system is going in on Tuesday Not doing the sub yet, want to here this system system first before we build the custom enclosure. On another note if I get this AVS F7's (heavily leaning towards them) do you think I should try to sell my stock 19's since I also have a set of 18's for the winter? |

Well unless your getting 19' winter tires then you better sell them. That will help offset that credit card statement I would definitely be willing to buy the rubbers from you since I have that damn blister in the front and I know this guy that might be willing to get the rims. Just let me know how it goes.

Thank you Albert! I actually got my handle from seeing it on a Porsche long before I even went into dental school. Just stuck with me. My other choice, which someone else may want to use, was R8D MMM. |

Software is going good. No codes, no issues. My "programmer" cleared my car of codes (hidden ones too) and reset the adaptation so the car is relearning my driving all over again. To be honest it will take time for it to come alive. The adaptation takes a while.
Give it a few days and I suspect it'll get stronger. The tires and rims alone though make a huge difference, wow. Albert, sell the 19's unless you plan on a BBK, get the cash. See if you can sell to the US unless you can get a good buyer up here. Easier to make money on the exchange. Whenever we get together, I am really excited to see everyone's rides. |

So, informal poll here...which gas do you all use? I have been a committed Petro-Canada Premium user and always found I had really good mileage appear on the computer upon fill up (which I know is not an accurate guage), but also in overall distance on a tank.
I was reading up on this new nitrogen-enriched VPower from Shell. Put a tank in my parents X3 on the weekend. They seem to be getting some respectable distance out of it, but hard to say if it is causally-related. But in my mind, I am starting to think..."if it's good enough for Ferrari..." So, let's spill the beans...first person to say DOMO will be awarded either the DOMO4ME or GASFOOL personalized license plate. |

I use Shell Vpower premium and then I chuck in some Husky 94 stuff every once in a while.
Is the PetroCan gas Top Tier, I am not sure? Never, never use Safeway gas, anyone. Damaged my dads car, fouled the plugs. they sell gas that may may meet spec but it is shit gas. Use it for fire starter only. I wouldn't put it in my lawnmower |

In regards to the gas, I've only went to petro can so far but I heard the 94 octane from husky is pretty good, just out of the way to get that one for me and not sure if that extra octane will make much of a difference.
