Forgot to post some of these 1/2 mile pictures and videos.

I'll post my GoPro videos later.

Picture #1 and #3 are absolutely gorgeous!

Awesome media content as always. Very impressed with the distance you had on the Viper

I posted a new thread for this, but I figured I'd drop it in here as well.

Put the car on a DynoJet a few weeks ago! The best numbers were 448whp and 501wtq with SAE correction. It looks like all the N54 guys use STD correction instead and that converts to about 468whp and 523wtq!

Also, who doesn't like epic burnout pics and videos?!

I'm very happy that I have this garage, but it sucks knowing I won't be able to hear turbo noises again until April.

Buying one for the 330ci right now!

[straight6pwr]

better buy two - put one in your underwear and make turbo butt sounds

Welcome to my world. It's like a double-whammy because I know my 1er is nearby as my friend who bought it from me is storing it within 20 miles of my house. So not only do I not get to hear V8 noises from the M3, my 1er with turbo noises is just out of reach as well. 

I do not like winter. Not at all.

Welcome to everyone's world who stores their turbo bmw for winter.

[KaiserRolls]

That's why I break mine every October so I have to store it for the winter. That's my excuse anyways.

[KaiserRolls]

Edited. Wrong damn thread

[patsbimmer1]

I throw winter tires on mine and call it a day.  Not that I enjoy driving it through the winter months but there are usually a few glimmers of happiness that come from driving it year round.

Fixed.

Get a winter bimmer. Any POS e30-e46 or e28-e39 will do. No excuses.
