I had just gotten it, hadn't looked at enough forums to know what was wrong.

Hey pals I’ve been spying and lurking... and I must say this platform is the classiest most refreshing bunch of folks I’ve ever seen in the car world... I miss the days of the BFC app working but I’m using this Tapatalk app now... #backinmyday

Hello there

Hello there

Hey boo

[JimLev]

Hey boo

'bout time you showed up.

[angeleye540i]

I know biz has been crazy and Cars just as much so... and I guess I was either too ignorant or too lazy/busy to know to use this app in replacement of the BFC app... it’s great to be back! With some actual classy car owners.... I’ve been neck deep in maxing out my 335is amongst just keeping the fleet up and running...
here’s a random link, to a song I produced that was released a few months back... this is just one I’m more proud of, as it sticks to my jazzy roots... just a small taste of what I’ve been up to... (in god knows how long since I’ve been active) a lot of biz...

spent most of the night trying to keep Sony from dropping one of my artists and un freezing his budget... ANYWAY, we all know how I can rant... so I’ve tried to keep it short... the E92 is maxed out (safely) making 470/490 whp/wtq on E50 Dyno tune from dave Markert and Alex Fuller... the e88 N55 DCT is still on a Dinan tune, both turbo cars have MFactory LSDs... in fact that’s the only hardware mod on the daily - 135... all including e39 have fresh Tires and I’m about to go to sleep so I can wake up and drive the E92 for the first time since the tune revision and 7.5” HD Race FMIC and low temp oil stat, in prep for summer in The dirty... running Audi R8 coils w N20 plugs on top of ALL the bolt ons + Walbro 450, Continental E% BTooth sensor... still has Dinan intake and oil cooler...
I have a huge depollenating job to do before the run....

HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL

Guess you have been busy...what's that white stuff? We moved from MA to NM to escape it.
When you have a few spare minutes you should check out what I've been up to.
Being another gear head I think you'll like my new build.

I just had to laugh that is was this pic that Tapatalk showed me for the reference to your thread Jim lol.
I guess that's a sign that Oxford Green II is the right colour choice!

I think the apps show the last picture on top. Makes sense, usually.

The 540 is still the best looking ride.
LOL, watch out for that killer cat on the sidewalk.

There’s a reason it gets the best driveway spot that cat is an absolute cold blooded murderer... got a drive in all three today... ... man that 7.5”FMIC is dead serious... IATs actually drop under boost during pulls from cruising IATs... didn’t believe it until I saw it, but the core and pressure drop really puts some thermodynamics to work... it’s like a damn AC condenser coil - the way it works... fantastic product... and the Audi R8 coils with N20 plugs running a huge gap for a nice hot spark with no blow out... .030” gap, boost by gear 1-6th is 21,22,23,23.5,24,25 psi... I ran with a 488 and a 458 Italia but traffic was too thick... I did however previous to these recent mods, run with a 930, 997TT, two 5.0s, and a GTR... and the GTR and I just left the rest in the dust leaving caffeine and octane... the GTR tried but could not get away... very confidence inspiring... and it has 15 more whp and 50 more wtq now...
I think I’m about to delete my magnaflow muffler and keep the midpipe Res and HJS cats, with the headers should be a perfect weekend V8 sound.... the midpipe Res is the best part of the kit IMO... turns rasp into rumble... I may even keep the single bent tip for the sleeper status.... it’s sounding great just not quite loud enough in the upper Revs...

Not getting gas of course we rolling corn now... but might as well get shade and soccer Mom door ding protection

OH SNAP! I just noticed the second part of this post lol... bout to dive in 🤙🏼
Just alittle I6TT on NA V8 violence... super clean E39 M5... which reminds me... I need to find a nice E39 M to invest in before they skyrocket... already going up as is the E46M... with 6MT NA Cars being extinct now, the NA MT ONLY cars like such will no doubt be worth a fortune... especially because the timeless reputation of the E39... hell even 540i6 have already bottomed out and are going up...

I run an e39/BMW chat group w/ shenanigans on whatsapp, if anyone wants an invite - shoot me a direct PM.

Possibly my next wagon. A shame BMW won't offer the 5 series touring in any form here in the US. We know why, still a shame. And Audi as well for never bringing back the A6 Avant.

I think that's still made in Scandinavia; a lot of the new Volvos are being shifted to Chinese production.

I believe so. Has to be ordered since it's not being sold at US dealers. Only the XC

2019 V60 is looking good too.

Got that ATT fiber installed and running... 2 dual band repeater routers, one in basement (homestudio) and one for top floor (my bedroom), and one main direct to modem DHCP server router... this damn U-Verse system reminds me of a BMW... way over complicated and over the top... still in mock up for the studio as I have yet to drill any holes... just testing connectivity before I drill more holes... this cat7 Ethernet cable is doing is job tho... it’s great that my WiFi cards in some phones and computers are the limiting factors for internet connection... my brand new MBP is the only computer in the house that can come close to taking advantage of the WiFi speed... iPhone 6S runs about 200-500 depending on which router it’s pinging from...

Sweet,
Got the Newports and a Vape to get you thru those tense moments.

Oh,pull the trigger on the Alpina!

Isn't that 7 a money pit ? Kinda cool don't know if I would want one though.

Ugh. My home internet is dog slow. Still on AT&T DSL, with no real alternatives. No competition = shoddy service.

How's that new MacBook Pro treating you? I find the keystrokes off putting when I've fiddled with them in my local Apple Store, but I probably could get used to that. I'm very happy with my late 2013 15" rMBP (1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, nVidia GeForce GT 750M, 2.6 quad i7), and I can't see myself heading to dongle town any time soon. Having HDMI, USB, Magsafe, and an SD card slot is just too damn convenient.

My biggest complaint is that the computer is kinda bendy. The case itself can be flexed a good 1/3 of an inch off the table in one corner.

That’s not your “standard vape” and it’s 99% distillate of what it is... and yes so many Newport’s smoked at my home studio... not at the main studios (2) tho.... so I take out pent up audio engineer aggression on my home.... control rooms and mixing + cigarettes go hand and hand IMO... at least they used to back before everyone got all “healthy”... like peanut butter and jelly...
I’m having internal Conflict about the B7,.. I do want a passenger and this seems super reasonably priced for what it is... but it’s not like picking up an E46 or an E39...

Question... it has 30k miles, say it gets driven enough but not too much do u think it will ever pay back / decent ROI? If I could convince myself of that I’d be more inclined to do it... I’m on the “are u Fn stupid u don’t need that car” right now thouht process.... man is it pretty tho... looks mint
