Every time I tell myself that getting BSM was a mistake, I wash the car and then I remember.

Yep, and I always make it a point to put it in the sun after a wash and just sit there for 15 mins staring at the sparkly paint

Yeah... our cars are smaller than Toyota Corollas. One time I parked next to a Corolla and stared at the scene for a while... it just doesn't make sense! No, but you are crazy enough for several of us...

Good LORD! this lady almost killed me today! She was in her brand spankin' new F30 AW 328i.
It was at a point where two freeways merge together but not have any of their respective lanes coincide with each other (merge of 170S and 134E). I was minding my own business in my own lane going at a normal speed (70 on a 65). All of a sudden, I see this white car drift into my lane from the right. I quickly steered away! Guess what, the lady in her F30 flicked me off. I responded in kind and flicked her off...I'm not sure if she saw that as she used all of her 245hp to do a flyby me. With that said, I am amazed with how quickly the car's direction changed! I guess that's a trait of a shorter wheel base car. Also, OEM brakes are pretty darn good. Otherwise, I would have connected with center dividing concrete barrier. Lastly, I've never floored this car...ever. When I did to catch up to speed, it felt amazing and the PE sounded amazing with the DCT shift farts. |

Still fairly new to my 1 but since i have this week and half of next off I decided today, between doctors appts., to clean the car and go for the usual 80mph air dry thing.
You know, to reduce streaks and water marks. This I think is the first time I actually gave my 1 "the beans." Holy crap. The Grip, the power, the noise, the turbos, the DTC. light(lol) This car is a drug. You get a hit and you want more. I can only imagine this car with mods. Not in the cards now but man, I LOVE MY 1! Never with people close by, and only on the freeway. Gotta be careful! I call her Penny. Last edited by Redonred1; 03-18-2014 at 05:18 PM.. Reason: Spelling and formatting. |

I actually once got pulled over by a cop for honking and flicking someone off for not letting me merge (the other driver in his Dodge RAM did the whole accelerate insanely and then brake hard next to me / in my merging spot). The cop asked me why I was driving aggressively and I was so pissed I started going off on a tirade about merging in NOVA (essentially my paragraph above ^^^, but angrier), and the cop actually let me off without asking me for my DL, he just asked me to calm down.

Agreed. I did thank him for understanding my position and did agree to not get so aggravated.

I'm still in disbelief with how easily one of the rear tires lost it. If I was being stupid and turned off the E-nannies, that would have been it. |

After that, I'm so paranoid, I just make sure I'm always just behind or in front of any cars in the lanes next to me. Luckily, especially at freeway speeds, our cars have so much get up and go with even just a little bit of gas, we can fly past just about anyone in a flash. The most dangerous is when you find yourself on a rare, open freeway cause they just want to GO! And man I sure want to let it loose one day. So, if you ever see a high speed chase on tv in a 135is, it's probably me just seeing how fast I can get it up to. =) |

2. Screw the haters, and nobody can question your choice for going DCT. Plus the DCT will perform better than any manual so more the reason to bring it on track. |
