I've driven princelybug's 335 down the canyon on Saturday. It shifts very fast using the paddles. Loved it.

Have an appointment this afternoon for a remote coding session that will do the following:
Nothing huge, but I am looking forward to seeing how the trans performs with the Alpina flash.
- Alpina B3 Transmission Flash
- 2015 Navigation Update
- Fog Lamps Stay On with High Beams
- Remove Convertible Top Limiter
- Enable DVDinMotion
- Removal of iDrive Disclaimer Message
- Enable Weather Band
Nothing huge, but I am looking forward to seeing how the trans performs with the Alpina flash.
How's the car holding up otherwise? How many miles you have on it?

87k miles and doing great.
Had a small oil leak a couple of months ago and it was repaired under CPO. That's about it in the last year. Worst thing I've had in 2.5 years was a broken charge pipe, but I limped it to the dealer and it was repaired that day (that one wasn't covered under CPO; cost me about $400).

I knew I'd catch hell for that. So, let me tell you about my 7 yr.-old daughter who was experiencing serious physical reactions to a previously undiagnosed gluten allergy. Since switching her over, her quality of life has substantially improved. The bag of mix that was within reach was the mix we use for her. The rest of us still eat the regular stuff.

Mrs. ttribe must've been wondering WTFBBQ was ttribe doing marching out to the car with his laptop, a bag of gluten-free mix, plate of bacon, and butter.
Her expression:
Him: "Look, I can explain..."
Her: "Listen honey, what you do on your spare time is up to you...but, think of the kids!"

At least people are more accepting of forums and such now. Back in the day, I remember taking pics of my CL's black housings and people thought I was crazy to put them online for others
Glad to see you are still enjoying her (the car that is. I would say the wife but no pics so I'm not sure if I'm glad you are or are not enjoying her)!

Actually, I happened to really luck out. I was sitting in the garage, remembered Majofo's challenge (and all the grief I gave him about his lack of V pics) and went in to see what I could gather. It just so happened that my wife was making Paninis with bacon, avocado and cheese. So, I grabbed the plate with the bacon she'd just made, went over to the fridge and grabbed some butter and then asked her if we had any pancakes. Naturally, she looked at me like I'd grown another head and asked me what I was doing (my kids looked rather confused as well). I explained, she turned around, grabbed the pancake mix from the pantry and told me to be careful not to get bacon grease on the leather of my car.

Every day I come home, I pass my neighbor's M5 that has been sitting for months and think of you :theghey: Yes, people are dicks here and think it's ok to draw all over cars that don't move; the Bentley and Maserati in the garage had giant penises on them, that gradually gained short and curlies until the owners washed them.
