    Are OEM headers off my 530 worth anything? Posted them up on offer up for $60 and my phone has been going off the hook. Should I consider taking it to a scrap yard instead?

    Those look nice, but I'd like a straight-cut double tip and polished tips. Thanks, though. GLWS.

    Maybe? Check eBay prices. I know here in CA, OEM headers are required to pass smog, so you may be better off selling them down here. Especially if they were working fine when you pulled them.

    Incidentally, what headers did you install on your 530i?

    Verizon's been throttling the piss out of my data plan, I finally broke down and got the highest unlimited plan money can buy, those bastards. Suddenly, all the unlimited offers have stopped, checked my data usage, been purposely streaming a crap ton of stuff, more than usual, the data usage has drastically slowed down. Bunch of a-holes, but since I'd been with them forever, they gave me all kinds of discounts, and even having switched to the Beyond Unlimited plan, I'm paying $35 less, lol.
    Now I'm getting the iPhone 8 or X offers up the butt.... Waiting for my 7 Plus to start doing odd stuff.

    Saw Leo Kottke last night at a medium-sized theater in Santa Barbara. A coworker who first saw him in Boulder, CO in the 1970s invited me and had second-row seats. Man, what an awesome guitar player and humorist. The guy reminded me a lot of Carlin.

    That's the app, not the iPhone. It's why I only use the website for any/all forums.

    Gotcha. I assume you had an exhaust shop install them? They look nice.

    Sold the MB a year ago. Focused on the M7 and the V70R. There will be some upcoming features on the e38 soon so stay tuned

    Hope all is well with you, Jim.

    Doing well Brandon, still have the 540 (of course) and will be adding dual exhaust to it in a few months.

    Leo, so how come we didn't go there when you were out here?

    I was thinking about asking some of you east coast guys about the hurricane. They just showed a video of Sagamore beach on TV out here.
    Pretty nice here.
    Could have used that flux capacitor from Doc's car, LOL.

    Is there a reason that when I go to my notifications inbox, I can never see my "sent" messages? Literally says I have 0 and I have sent hundreds.
