Seriously... this needs to happen!

As much as I LOATHE dealer badges or license plate frames, if Tom got some plate frames made up with "Thank U Appreciate U" on the bottom I'd actually run it for a few weeks before hanging it in the garage.

I've got a list of stupid things I'd like to own and keep stock (E46 wagon, W124 sedan, B5 S4) then a list really stupid things I'd like to own and probably ruin (e.g. safari build on a 3.2L TT coupe).

Awesome. Thanks, Tom!

After tomorrow that list is then locked right? Will be nice not to see my name sliding down the spreadsheet anymore!

If you've got room it's not so bad, not like it's depreciating anymore. I'm out of garage space and paying for offsite storage, that and insurance for a car that's barely driven starts to not make so much sense.

Do we know yet the % or brand of the factory tint so it's easy to match the front to whatever the rear comes with? I remember on my Touareg they used some obscure film that we all had to have our tint shops special order, was a major pain in the @ss.

Truthfully I need another old BMW like I need a hole in the head. I've got a silver ZHP E46 vert to scratch that itch, has just under 40K on it. For some sick reason I want a silver E46 wagon so that I'd have a matching sets, old wagon and old vert in silver and then I already own 2016 F31 and...

Good point. I have a rather basic understanding of the science behind all of this stuff, found a few people I trust to work on my cars and make sure whatever I do won't mess with my warranty. I installed a CAI on my BMWs myself for example, but the engineering behind the design and tech is way...

No dumb questions, we were all newbies once. CAI is Cold Air Intake. Tune will turn up the boost settings. So you're shoving more air into the combustion chamber, and cold air is more dense so more oxygen... bigger boom for each explosion. All that is to say more power with relatively minimal...

That stinks... I suppose any Bronco is better than no Bronco at this point. Saw your sig I'm half looking for a Z4, keep trying to tell GF that a 3.0si coupe is the perfect car for her to use as a realtor. It would be horrible for that, hence only half looking.

Do they get to spec the cars themselves? If so would be GREAT to do a public service and get a weird / need to see in person color like Cactus. Not much worry about seeing black or white in real life.

One thing to keep in mind, the B&O system may be easier to upgrade so that alone may merit the investment. Example, HiFi in BMW 2-series has fewer speakers but most importantly the amp is integrated into the head unit, which in modern cars is next to impossible to replace. HK upgrade for $850...

Ha - perils of doing iPhone posting with no glasses. They should really get an app for the forum makes life much easier.

Could be - but lots of people don’t have deals under invoice. Neither is wrong. But yes for a straight comp against your $2k his post is an easier apples-to-apples.

I thought the same thing... on the PPF thread someone pointed out the modularity would make it easier to wrap parts. My thought was modular makes it easier to REPLACE parts so why bother with the wrap in the first place?

Tom your math is a little wonky... you calc'd your savings off invoice not MSRP. This example deal is 7.5% below MSRP so the savings is quite a bit more than you have stated with the $2,189 it's actually $4,266. Don't want you selling yourself short. ($52,529/$56,755)-1 = (7.45%)

This is the "quick and easy" product I've seen. Buddy tried on his Land Cruiser and was pleased with the results. Chemical Guys is better, but application is a little more complicated. This is very truck / large vehicle friendly. https://aerolon.com/products/tech-shine-16oz-bottle-pad

You'll be able to add aftermarket fogs to MOD easily enough

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that post. I think I am down to AMB or Carbon. I had been flirting w/ Cactus for a while, and silver is the safe but most boring choice. Those were the four I was considering at least. I suppose since I am waiting for 2022 there's a good chance I can see some...
