A lot of people like Motorcity Casino as well, but I haven't been more than once, so I can't really comment. The only thing with MGM is it can get pretty crowded on a Saturday night, especially now that its colder, more people tend to do more indoor "activities".

If you want to do something fun, I think the Wings are playing this coming Sat against Pitts. Joe Louis Arena gets pretty rowdy and is always a good time (if your a hockey fan that is) and puts you right in downtown so you can hit the casino right after and get some good food in Greek Town before hand.

It is definitely heavier and takes some getting used to, but the winter fun and having a quick AWD car make it worth it

Put on the ZCP 6MT shift knob today. Just about smacked myself in the face when pulling the stock sport knob off.

Haven't had that yet happen, haha. I've really just been enjoying the car itself, so I've been pretty easy, for the most part. I loved my e46, but this e90 is just on a different level.

I just received my BMS DCI today along with the knob and have a Cobb AP v2 coming in tomorrow.

Waiting to do the performance stuff until after I visit the stealership this friday, because I'm pretty sure my turbo wastegates are rattling, unfortunately.
