We thought you were at the NJMP Lightning event on the 22nd. Saw an identical Z4.

So after that "little" jack arm bending and car rolling over incident I had over the weekend, I picked up a new low-profile 3-ton jack on the way back from the track. Went to change my pads late last night and the freaking jack doesn't clear the underside....argh!!!

I ended up driving with my track pads for 10miles of stop-n-go traffic this morning on the way to work, you should see the faces of the other drivers, they couldn't believe that screaching noise was coming from a bmw. No trucks to hide next to, either

I'm lazy between track days and don't swap out my pads. Once I rolled down the street next to a Philly bus.

Bus driver was looking around all funny because he thought his bus's brakes started screeching REAL bad.

x2 too lazy to swap rotors and pads...

I've had track pads on for a month or so... I pretend I'm the oblivious BMW driver when people are staring at me.

Haha, I was outside at 6:30am on Monday changing my pads and wheels back to street stuff. For some reason, my track pads don't make any noise, but they will eat my rotors if I use them cold.

Did you guys notice the plates? If it were me, Last Trans Am for sure.

I daily my track pads too. I remember I was walking around NYC and heard the EXACT same brake noise as mine. Turned around and it was the city bus.
