just think the car looks "boring" without Navi/ Idrive.
my 2 cents

ps. great work on these videos

dbjb · 05-12-2011, 01:38 AM

And yet I don't have hav nav and it doesn't bother me one bit. My phone does nav and has speech recognition.

Now heated seats, had to have that. Lol.

So my question is, if you have a navi, is it a must have for you? Or can you live without it?

Must have for me are: nav, heated seats, and pdc. Just makes life easier and more comfortable. Comfort access is also nice but not really a must have.

so when is everyone meeting in Sac?
only have lil over a month left here and back to Dallas.

Sounds like a good deal to me

You are going to love the smooth power of the PROcede. There is no way of knowing if it works without installing. That being said, if you need help installing it or updating the firmware/maps let me know. I just took mine out last night, figured it's time to do the harness update.

Activ,

I would prefer iDrive but its not a must, especailly if it's a MT which makes it more of a drivers vehicle. I say if it's a crazy good deal jump on it. Just keep in mind, iDrive will increase it's resale value.

lawwailok · 05-12-2011, 12:46 PM

Activ, well if price is right, i wouldn't mind i-drive vs non i-drive.

i have it but i don't use it often. since my phone has nav (most of the smart phone does nowadays anyway), with an i-drive it may just pumps up your resale value down to the point when you want to sell it.

Syndicategt · 05-12-2011, 01:05 PM

Car is coming up for my 60k service. Who here has had to do this yet? Take it to the dealer or indy and what service was performed? I read that they only do fluids, filters, and visual inspection.

JGMODS · 05-12-2011, 01:45 PM

So who's coming to Bimmerfest?

I'll be heading down tomorrow night, missed last years so I'm excited to check it out.

lawwailok · 05-13-2011, 12:52 PM

yay.......... ordering some real Alcantara to redo my interior trim... shit is pricey but im sure its gonna look good. gonna rip the CF on the doors and Alcantara them, air vents trims gonna be Alcantara, and leave my center shifter portion as CF.

or which part of the trims you guys suggest i should leave CF and which part should wrap in Alcantara? i think CF gets boring but it may looks good with a mix of alcantara to the interior. like the new 1M... a small amount of alcantara does the wonder.

Well it's time for a LSD....think of going with Quaife as Wavetracs are out of stock just about everywhere.

I msg'd Harold @ HP who is out of stock on Wavetracs, anyone know other good places to pick one of these up? I'd prefer Wavetrac but Quaife is so similar. I'm fairly sure my pumpkin is bolted on, I'm a 2008 model AT.

Changed my oil last night, good times!

Has anyone else replaced the drain plug with the ECS tuning magnetic one? Seems like a worthwhile investment even if it only catches a few things
