I used to be in a new car every 6-12 months, lost so much money... I gave VW/Audi a good run, but the BMW hit home with the i6T, 6MT, RWD, LSD coupe combo.

Black Grill
I replaced the chrome grill with a new black one. Looks much more aggressive!

I drove my 911 to get a haircut yesterday. I never drive that car to run such pedestrian errands but spring fever took over. Of course, here in Chi town it lasted till 3 pm and went down to 40. My wife grilled steaks anyway. ps. You aren't old . I listen to 60s on 6 and the Beatles channel. That's OLD. |

How easy are the grills to remove? I want to change but don’t want to damage the silver ones as I want to sell them, the dealer said the clips may snap as they have to yank them out?

Is Sing, Sing, Sing not the best piece of music ever written? Even on a base sound system!

I think the best way to remove the first grill, is to unscrew the top of the bumper. It's actually really, really easy to do. The hard part is reaching in to release the clips. I unscrewed the top of the bumper the exact same way as this guy did: There are plenty of clips to guide the bumper back into place, the whole process is seriously easy. When you are releasing the clips, particularly the first couple, you have to kind of pull the grill away from the car to keep the clips detached. It might be seriously frustrating at first but keep at it. Once you get a couple removed it becomes much easier. The second grill is much easier, just reach in after removing the first. Also, the stock grills are in perfect condition. It was easy not to damage them throughout the process. No clips were broken. This tutorial is really good: Last edited by awpatterson217; 04-14-2018 at 04:50 PM.. Reason: Adding additional video/tutorial |

Guess I am old soul too. My Sirius/XM rotation includes 70's of 7, 60's on 6, Sinatra and Margaritaville with the occasional stops at ESPN, CNN, MSNBC and NPR for news and sports. And yes, Sing, Sing, Sing is amazing along with Rhapsody In Blue, An American in Paris and anything Sinatra did with Billy May, Count Basie or Nelson Riddle.

I'm older than any two of you and listen to Beatles, The Bridge (mostly), Margaritaville, Sinatra, Bluesville. Recently was listening to the hall of fame channel (4), and god save me to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Used to love Sing, Sing, Sing with the Krupa solo, haven't heard it for years. Maybe I'll ask the HomePod to play it.

Best part is that it is all controlled from the iDrive screen once you launch the app on your phone. You can preview the GoPro, see the G readings, and most importantly, start/stop it with the iDrive control. All while your phone is tucked in the armrest. (I hacked a little foam cradle for the phone so it wouldn't slide around and give more consistent G readings.) Only downside is that you can't export the data for use with video apps like RaceRender. (At least not easily, supposedly possible, but it takes work.) For the price it compares favorably to apps like Harry's Lap Timer. It does a lot of the same stuff, and gives you some good insights. Dedicated tools are better, but they do cost more. |

I installed a Dinan midpipe to my M Performance exhaust. The stupid rental exhaust pipe cutter from Autozone wasn't cutting it (literally) so I had to get the sawzall out. I haven't had much time to drive it after the install but I didn't notice too much of a difference during my short drive around the block. Hoping I didn't just waste a couple hundred bucks.
