that video is way too unrealistic...
For starters: 1) it's too green 2) it's not windy enough 3) There are way too many trees in the background Just to name a few... HAHAHAHA |

Correction:
We met @ McD's @ Airport Rd and I-70, right? There was a gas station there too, IIRC.

Also, I got my inspection at Bimmerhaus - Jim was great, as always. To the individual who did Redline 75W90 - I believe that the BMW-juice for the diffs is a 75W140 - should stand up to higher temps a bit better. May be worth considering in the future. Anyone tried to undo the fill-plug for the transfer case? That's no fun to get to... |

Man, HPR was a hoot today! Great track, great weather, and the car behaved really well (aside from the squishier XI suspension). No limps during all four sessions, temps stayed around the midway point, and I was hitting a little over 120 on the back straight.
Got to ride in with Alex on one of his laps, and was surprised how much of a difference the coil overs made. He could take corners at speeds that I wasn't coming anywhere close to. (Of course, I'm sure the driver mod has a lot to do with that as well. ) Met up with Michael and his Interlagos E90 M3, which won Car of the Day. Love that color on the ///M! Sid never showed though.... Hope you're okay, man. Not like you to miss a driving event.

Yeah man I am ok. I had an um...."incident" on Friday night. I took a corner pretty hard and hydroplaned into a curb. My front tire popped on impact and oil and radiator fluid went everywhere. So, I had to have the car towed to the dealership at 130AM on Saturday. I was pissed that this happened right before HPR. I was really looking forward to it. Now I just want my car back Hopefully I will get it back before the Spring Drive.

What do you think guys? Since my left front tire/rim took the brunt of the damage, what kinda work should I be expecting?

lower control arm, steering knuckle, tie rod, and the worse case scenario would be a steering gear rack. Hopefully not because I see that rack easily costing up towards 1K.

I am already expecting a couple K's for the bill. Its all good though because insurance has it covered and my deductible is really low. I just hope they replace my rims and dont try and give me that "they are still good" crap! Those rims were still scratch and curb rash free! I am also going to see if I can pick up some OEM CF splitters.

Sid: Some more parts to consider Radiator, oil cooler, oil and coolant. That's going to be a mighty big bill. My guess is around $4500. Good thing for insurance! |
