This was Performance Technic's first C&C event at their new location. If you look closely you can see Marco's (ilikebmxbikes) 1M clone there as well.

I am interested in dumping my Michelin Sport Alpin PA3 ZPs (run flats) and getting a set of Nokian Hakkapaliitta R2s. The ride was terrible, much worse than the original Bridgestone run flats, and the tires themselves weren't very good on snow and ice. I hate starting winter tire evaluation process all over again, but can't live through another 5 month winter season on runflats!

I know this is a bit cheesy, but I'm doing it anyway.

Today the car is one year and one day since Performance Center delivery, and I just hit 11,111 miles. What an enjoyable year of driving it has been!

PS: that's about where my oil temp needle lives all the time once up to operating temps.

Labor Day

Isabelle at the mall to return some stuff for labor day. And no, it has nothing to do with bloomingdales. Can't afford anything there.

The spot to the right (as we look at the pic) is a NO PARKING spot. I could have parked halfway into it if I wanted to. Cause people are MORONS and for whatever reason seek out the car off yonder and prefer to park next to a car than an open space. I'm more like 100 spaces from the next car, and also there 5 minutes before the mall opened to get in and out ASAP.

I thought he just fixed dentures. Easier to avoid the dents to begin with. I ain't taking any chances. Luckily, people are as lazy as they are awful parkers/drivers here.

Just focus on the beauty of the mineral grey and the blurriness of the picture.

Funny you mention this a 328 coupe was all over my rear bumper this morning and finally passed me rev'ing his engine like an absolute idiot in heavy traffic. He then got stuck in the left most lane with all the other blithering idiots as I continued to cruise by in the right lane popping and burbling along =)
I pity da foo in his 328 coupe.

Dinan Stage 2 Sunday

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I shall be spending all of Sunday (and Monday morning) renting a 2013 135i with...dinan stage 2 installed! I'll try to take some videos if I can and imagine i'll have some very interesting opinions and thoughts after putting it through its paces.

Can't think of a better thing to do or car to rent while out of town and on vacation. I'm sure Chunner will be happy and Kouper will at least appreciate that it's not a hyundai. Sadly, my performance suspension, performance exhaust, and PSS will be sorely missed, but looking forward to seeing what the dinan stage 2 is like. Stay tuned! Pun intended.

I'm interested in hearing what you think as I'm still considering the Dinan stage 2 tune. Also, I don't want to lose the pops and crackles of PPK, and even though Chunner says I won't, I'd still love to hear it for myself, possibly in your videos.

I was hoping that by now you would have come up for air and given us all a preview of your thoughts and impressions on the Dinan S2 package... I'm sure you have a ton of observations and comparisons between the rental and your 135is. Is there a Dinan tune in your future?

I wouldn't even normally consider it but this was over $700 cheaper than a Quaife but also comes with lifetime warranty. Not to mention I don't have to send my core in because I found an extra differential so I can sell it down the road without requiring an exchange.
