E46 Things

I got INPA working and waterboarded my DME, demanding that it spill the beans on everything it has seen.
I got a code 80 and 67
Everything runs and drives phenomenally, save for an ever so slightly fluctuating cold idle. So I will clear these codes and see if they come back. No these codes do not generate a CEL. If they come back I will test out the VANOS solenoid and clutch switch to see if there is anything worth improving over winter. It is just nice to know I now have a little bit better diagnostic capability than a basic scanner if I ever need it.
A very good list of codes can be found here

BC, too many name changes

Yeah, just drive the car. Not that I'm biased or anything but I sunk literally more than you paid for the car into just mods and maintenance alone. It's good.

Cars Coffee and Cereal this morning with @DrLeadFoot @P_Roloff and @patsbimmer1
then a great drive this evening
-
900 miles logged. The rebuilt diff will need some fresh oil very shortly. That is on the list for next weekend along with a few other small items before the picnic.
Over the weekend someone with a head gasket disposal apparatus was parked by me.
They commented on the car ( and half jokingly offered to trade cars), they got a kick out of the sticker, and I applauded him for recognizing that it’s Laguna Seca/its a joke.
Looking forward to taking the long way into work tomorrow to enjoy the car a bit then snagging a breakfast burrito at Qdoba as a birthday present to myself (highly recommended food item)

What cars and coffee did you go to? I am trying to find what some of the better ones are in the area to see some nice cars - and not just a bunch of Subarus and Mustangs.

This was the small one at the Chiropractors Office in Hartland, small showing, mostly good as an excuse to get out for a drive and see a few friends.
the Lake Mills cars and coffee is VERY impressive though, i’d love to be able to go to another one this year.
I hope International BMW does another one as well. Its very convenient and it was a nice showing of cars/chance to see the brand new stuff we will complain about not being able to fix

I can second that Lake Mills is very impressive, usually a good smattering of neat stuff mixed in with a lot of late model mustangs and the like. I haven't been to one yet this year, but they already broke the 2018 attendance record of 410+ cars on the first event this May. If the June event has nice weather, expect that the attendance will be even higher. I'd probably show up not too long after 8 if you care about an actual spot.
Also, I didn't know Qdoba had breakfast burritos. That's a game changer.

I believe the location at 124th and Capitol is the only location that does breakfast.

From all of the Cars and Coffee (and Cereal) events I've attended over the years these seem to be the best:
-Rock Lake Motors Cars and Coffee (Lake Mills) Note: show up BEFORE 8am if you want to get in. I showed up at 7:45 and the place was almost packed already.
-Waukesha Cars and Coffee at Black Canyon Coffee - This one's smaller around 40 cars or so but can draw a decent selection of cars
-Madison Cars and Coffee at Barriques in Fitchburg - Same group of guys shows up every Sunday and they're a good bunch of guys. Small gathering but great car talk and usually very nice cars.
-Cars, Coffee and Cereal at The Specific Chiropractic in Hartland - Very small, usually less than 20 cars but very laid back atmosphere with an OK car selection. The guy who runs it is a genuine car guy and super nice. It's a nice event to get together with friends at but not somewhere I'd expect to be blown away by the cars.
-Delafield just started an event but I haven't been to it yet
-Milwaukee had a good one once down by the marina and when I say once it was literally one good event. The next one that @DrLeadFoot and I showed up to was 3 clapped out beaters that looked at us longingly as we drove in, turned around and left for Miller Park.

THANK YOU! That's exactly what I was looking for. My wife doesn't care much for cars, but she does find classics and the less common cars interesting and more tolerable. Not sure I can convince her to get up that early with me to get a spot, but that would be really cool.

Lake Mills also has a neat little downtown square to wander around in, so you’re definitely not limited to just the cars when you go.

breakfast burrito at Qdoba
This is news to me.
I must determine what ones provide such food. -

I must determine what ones provide such food.As far as I can see, the only location is 124th and Capitol by Harley/Briggs/Milwaukee Elec. Tool.
Its the only location in the state ive found that has an open time of 6am, all others are 10:30.
Burrito with eggs, potato, bacon, queso, pico, and a little cilantro and red onion. mmmhmm
