Yalls need to realize, ain't no other car beating an M3 in 3rd and 4th gear at 7k revs, that's the sweet spot. Maybe y'all are in DCT mode 😃

Alpine Stage 1 tune

Feels pretty good based on the first few minutes of driving, definitely improved pick up just off idle and feels a little better better in the 2-3k range.

now just need to find time to do MPE and diffuser

BTW anyone looking for an MPE and worried about the 1st gen issues, Turner motorsports has them for the 92/93, the picture and description imply they are gen. 1's but they are shipping gen 2's so hopefully no cracks.

Took a quick pic as I kept turning around to stare at it. Felt like a dork.

I thought straight guys most likely loved to flip paddles and only gay/gal liked the stick but i could be wrong

Pick up my car today from the shop, but oddly enough, outside of my office I noticed a black e92... doesn't appear to be an employee, but I've been walking around all day trying to find out who's it is. I rarely if ever see e9xs around here, so it's killing me.

These cars shouldn't be hard at all. Especially if its stock. I think the most you'd have to do is switch over a cluster cause the Euro/Canada one has KPH only.

After 7 Iong days in the body shop, she is home with a 'like new' front bumper. I still can't help but have the feeling I've been cheated on.... like not knowing who's been in it, driving it, etc... oh well, it's home.

Thats why when I go to work I take cones outta the closet and put them in the spots next to me so others have to park somewhere else cause cones = reserved. Though no ones really there at night.

happened to me a few weeks ago.... I don't think the car backing up on me had a backup camera and he didn't stop until the last second. He was backing out of a parking spot and I was in the row waiting behind another car. My honks were literally 20 frantic little but strong honks as fast as possible, bc he kept coming and coming. It was at the grocery store... the Guy got out of the car, started cussing and screaming and approached my front end, just then the lane cleared and I peeled TF outa there. Hate other drivers.

ha

my wife always comments ... "you have to park the farthest away possible again, huh?"
i always tell her how that spot is too tight ... that spot is not good because it's around a blind curve ... that spot is where people might return the shopping cart... etc. etc.
