I may need to step back on the exhaust. The AA xpipe and HFCs are much louder than I expected and there is alot more resonance in the car driving it hard. Getting some weird vibrations too at different RPM's.

That said the car has a whole new life, holy sh*t faster and meaner. Much more pull in all the gears and it really gets up and goes now, wow.

Need to take you guys for a ride. See what you think.
That's what we wanted to hear. Where's the sign up sheet for joy rides?

+1, where is this sign up sheet? This week maybe? The south works nicely. I am sure there are some "quiet" streets around here, well they would have been quite until your car hits the street Glenn!

Harbuksh when is your stuff going to be finished?

Jack your car will be as the loudest car in town if you do the GT exhaust! (Even though Harbukshs car is going to shatter window's)

Oh ya boys my laser jammer works like a charm! Saved my ass yesterday while the people around me got pulled over... Love my escort!!!

Jack, I should be ready to roll by Friday or Saturday. I think my exhaust may possibly come in tamer than Glenn's with the free flow of the AA X pipe and the Eisenmann sport. What do you think, Glenn?

Sometimes, when I hear the RPI axle back, I salivate at the sound of that exhaust...it sounds absolutely amazing. If they were not throwing codes, I would have bought that exhaust. But, the Race should be appropriate payback to my neighbors....bahahahahahahaha.

I have to go to my nephew's B-day party on Saturday evening, but during the day was planning to monopolize a spot on the patio at Tin Palace, if teh ride is ready.

Perfect timing...beautiful weekend coming up.

Who else is thinking of going to the show and shine on Sunday? 1ne, Glenn, and I are there, I believe.

Harbuksh, had teh brakes bled again and night and day difference.

They are way stronger now, so don't worry if your feel a little soft at first

Calgary BMW invited me to a Level II driving school on Monday in Cowtown at Race City.

What'dya guys think? All fees paid by Calgary BMW.

Mehhhh, we'll see. Life is busy so getting down is a royal PIA and I am running out of time off given all the time I have used getting mods already.

I may pass and do the BMW M School 2 day at VIR speedway next year. It is an advanced school and allows the use of their cars and similar small class learning.

Big plus is that you have lots of time and really can push the limit on the cars, higher speeds and really focused on going fast.

I am not so keen on pushing my car right to the edge of control at 100 mph. Not yet anyhow.

Drop on by, I'll be there and hopefully 2thdr too.

Bring the ride, love to see it anyhow.

I think Calgary BMW had a open spot so they just want to get their $$ worth. great perk but difficult if you don't live t there.

The US BMW driving schools are killer. I'd rather do it again. More to gain and less worry on my car. I'd stress all the time and not focus on driving and learning.

It is almost alive!!!!

Theo is pretty close to being done the installs. The BBK is on, H&R springs, Pirelli PZeros mounted, exhaust on, Rogue SSK installed, bootlid on.

Today, the front splitter and rear diffuser, as well as the air filter and RPI air scoops, and then we are done!

I think to some degree we all have a level of OCDism when it comes to our M's. I am going to post some pics later on Saturday to show you Theo's level of OCD'ism when it comes to installations...I thought I was bad.

I hope as many of us as is possible can make Sunday...Glenn told me he had the trailer hitch put in on the back of his M and I pitched in for the BMW collection's hitch mount BBQ...trunkgate party!!!!!

I'm driving up that morning to go. Anyone know a good place to get a carwash that early on a Sunday? I'll probably collect a few bugs on the way
