Hi Jay! Your ride looks great as usual from the recent pics.

After looking through the last dozen or so pages of this forum I feel like such a follower. I picked up my E90 M3 in Munich last week. So add another AW car to the group.

So as I wait, I'm currently driving whatever the rental car agency gives me as a "compact car". I had an explorer last week and it was far from compact.

e90 in alpine is a win (even if it does have that gas guzzling V8...)

It's thirsty indeed. I won't even mention how much gas cost over there for only 5 hours worth of driving on the autobahn at break-in speeds

You got an M3 too!? Man I really feel left out of the ///M group. At least I've got my M-Sport steering wheel.

Yeah me too. There was this amazing salesperson at BoPG that provided a 5/5 customer service experience. Maybe you know him??? And that steering wheel is bomb

I don't even have turbos yet. I am really far off the ///M group. I do have the sport package on an xi though. Does that count anywhere?

Just an FYI all. There is a great BMW oriented program playing through the 30th on the Sundance channel that I just sort of ran across by chance searching for BMW in my program guide.

It's called 'The Art of Speed: Jeff Koons at 180 MPH'. It's about the design of the latest BMW Art Car by the famous artist. I just happened to see the art car collection in the BMW Museum last week and the 30 minute show documents the design of, in my opinion, the best one yet. The next showing is tomorrow night.

I'm in the process of 'finding' one as well... If you happen to 'find' another one laying around Parker, I may know of someone that could take it off your hands.

Did you do the install? Think I've looked and it didn't seem too difficult.

I had a tech do the swap. Took him maybe 6 minutes.

My service 2 is coming up...maybe they could swap it at that time (for next to nothing?)

How much does service 2 run anyway? Probably change my oil then too...would have been 10k miles at that point.

What service are you due for? There is technically no inspection 2 for the E90. It's all condition based service.

Of course it counts! And don't worry, you're not the only ///M dreamer left.

Really? There's something coming up in 4300 miles...and that would put me right at 60k. Just figured it was inspection 2. I'll have to look at the service menu and see what it is. Not brakes, oil, or the emission one (just reset that last month).

What else does he have?

And Parker...checked the service menu. 4400 miles to a car on a lift...whatever that means.

This week...3 days of work, 1 day of eating, and a weekend away...1300+ miles. Hope the weather isn't too terrible.
