Welcome to the forum! Glad to have another BMW geek on board
Next time you stop in to Concours, say hi to Rampelsauce or I, we both work in the ATO and most likely gave you that F30.Thats the Milwaukee Art Museum. Its a great place for photo shoots!
Wait you can get me a radio code? I'm afraid to disconnect the battery in my e46 it was scary having a live positive cable hanging around changing my gasket

That's funny! Don't know if you're the guy who gave me the keys to the F30, but I dropped my car off first thing in the morning this past Wednesday and made a remark how funny it was that McLovin's ID was used as the example pic on that placard that showed everything you needed on hand for a loaner car.
But my main complaints on the F30 are that the steering is too light, though still precise and not necessarily numb, and the turbo 4 just doesn't sound that good. It is otherwise perfectly capable of hauling ass and the car still handles very well. That and I wouldn't mind the better gas mileage. The E9x just feels more engaging to drive.
Wow someone actuall read the wi bord in Bimmer forums? Sweet car what building is in the back ground
Yeah, as CYoung said, it's the Milwaukee Art Museum. It was featured in Transformers 3, been in a few Victoria's Secret commercials, and been the set for a lot of automotive brochure/advertisement photoshoots. The staff there said that Hyundai and Porsche regularly use the space.

gorgeous car, nice shots too! It could be one of the last NA inline 6 engines ever made!!!
I would check bimmerworld, turner motorsports, and bav auto for e9x parts.
Thanks! I found Turner Motorsports last night, but I'll check out the others. And yeah, I agree, the inline 6 is so nice. It'd be a shame to see it go!

Could be anyone of my co-workers then as I work evenings over there. Maybe Zach will recognize you at a meet. Next time you get a F30, put the driving dynamics to Sport (toggle switch next to the shifter), that will tighten up the electric steering and suspension. I agree the engine doesn't sound great either, but all the new turbo engines are lacking in noise

those shots look like they could be a magazine advertisement.
Just put "BMW" in a corner somewhere.

My e46 doesn't have a radio code, I disconnected the battery to remove the GM V module and the radio still works. I might have had to reselect the stations but that's it.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. No real plans yet except potentially a black kidney grille inserts and LED angel eye lights. No rush to do them though.
I feel like I've seen your red E92 around, but I can't remember where.

Love the influx of E92's
