I liked bavauto strictly for the catalog.  Still sad to see them close the doors after that many years.  I wouldn't be surprised if they come back under private equity in name only.

I wonder how much it would cost to buy a brand like that.

815AM this morning on I41 S near Racine Ave.  A fella in a silver N55 powered 335M Sport slowed down and downshifted next to my lowly e90.  Can't remember the last time someone picked a race with me.  It's been many years.  Always the same result. haha  Even better is that I was dropping the car off to have the oil pan gasket replaced, upgraded twins and inlets installed.  It'll actually be fast next time someone picks on it.

So you're saying you lost the race.

Nope.  Pulled about 1.5 cars in a quick hwy pull.  Car is an xi so it doesn't run big mph. Ran 12.21 @ 112mph last fall

LOL. I can neither confirm nor deny to any allegations of said "street racing".

pulling up to @TCD and unknowingly challenging him to a race is like jogging up to Usain Bolt and unknowingly challenging him to a sprint. even if he's unprepared in a tuxedo and dress shoes, it won't end well for you.

Took the hot rod out for a spin today while the 335xi is at the shop.

I don't have an e90/92 yet but I've heard nothing but good things about the xdelete

Nope.  I threatened to a few years ago.  It's been sitting for 2+ years.  I finally fixed a radiator leak, installed a bigger turbo and a built T56.

I have no interest.  AWD is why I own the car.

I learned that that's a dangerous game to play around here
