Yeah, that was the day I picked it up, and I figured I'd throw the plate from my winter beater on it so I wouldn't get pulled over for the weekend while I waited to go to the DMV. Haha, good catch though.
I was just going to say the same thing haha! Love the iX dude! -
Not sure why this was locked, reopened!

There are companies who specifically rent race prepped cars for the nurburgring. http://www.rent-racecar.de/ is one.
No amount of Forza will prepare you for the real thing. It'll help but likely will make you cocky and foolish. I only say that because I've experienced it first hand. I almost crashed in a buddies STI because he went too fast because he "knew the track from Forza". Nevertheless, even driving safe it's often the other stupid drivers that crash into you! And a M3 in euros would not be fun to try and pay off.
-
Thanks for the DIY, I'm sure I'll be using it in the future!
-
You might want to be sure the rental company allows you to take the car on the ring. Most don't allow it.
I also would suggest you take your time on the ring, it's obviously a hard track, even harder in a vehicle you're not familiar with (or too much power)...
FWIW, I lived in Germany for 3 1/2 years and have been on the ring. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Say no to reps, go euro weaves if you're looking for something a little cheaper but better than "stock".
-
Snow last night, still got the shit on the ground. UGH, when will this stop!?? My M3 is hibernating, haven't seen it in months.
-
We also have a meet on the 15th. Should be a good weekend. Hopefully I can get off of work!
-
Ah, you're right, I misread.
The driver having been on the ring doesn't make it okay for the decal, the car is what earns it.
Maybe we'll have to set up a track day or autox to see who's got the fastest car. Some of the M's here might take ya
-
looks awesome man, and you met sabine at the ring? ha awesome man bragging rights out of everyone here, youve driven the ring' and i have the fastest car in wibmrs! lol jk.. maybe...
Yep, I get a lot of idiots challenging my ring decal on my trunk. It doesn't go over too well when I tell them I bought the car in Germany
As for the fastest car... IDK, doubtful, but it's a blast to drive.Bring it to the meet May 15th!! I'd love to see it in real life!
Hopefully I'll be off, and then I'll be there.
-
Nice E92. I used to have OZ's on my M3. Looks good dude. Where about are you in Kenosha (PM me if you want), I actually live in the Prairie.
-
I spent some time this weekend doing some upgrades. So far so good.
I'll be doing some more work this week. Sorry about the rough start, we'll get it sorted!
-
Yep, That'll be done this week
-
Did a little work on the site tonight. I've got a few things I'd still like to change yet, but this is a step in the right direction I think.
Let me know if you run into any issues with the site and new theme.
-
I can already tell we've still got work to do. This lift may become temporary.
-
We've made some changes to our registration system. Hopefully we'll see some changes.
I've also removed quite a few spammer accounts. Hope this helps.
-
Obviously we've got some sort of issue here with spam bots. I've suspended all new registrations until we can sort this issue out. If you have any friends who would REALLY like to sign up right now, PM me and I can create an account for them.
I'll keep everyone updated.
Thanks for bearing with us, we're learning as we go!
-
I've got some ideas for the spam control. I'll get on it soon guys, sorry!
If anyone has experience as an Admin with vB and has some experience with these issues, PM me!
-
I made it out there last night, the last night of the show.
I was kinda underwhelmed by the BMW presence. No M cars, most of the cars displayed were _28i's
-
car looks amazing
so jealous of nurburg. and you got to meet sabine!Im drooling over your ACS, let me know if they ever go up for sale ;D
Thanks, Right now I'm more interested in a trade + cash on my end for some RS's.Gotcha, you bought a US spec car in Germany? how does that work?
I want to do a European delivery buy one of these years, drive the car all over Europe including the ring and then bring her home.
I was in the military, so its not really the same as Euro Delivery. I was there, the car was there, I bought it, military shipped it.
-
Shnitzers are great but could be better offset. I want some RS's.
-
It cost me 5 years of my life
It was free to ship back because I was military stationed overseas. And it's US Spec.
-
It's apparently going to snow again tomorrow. BOO

How she sits now (though its in storage):

This thread has no topic, just randomness. Try and keep it safe for work though
I want to let all of you know that the M3 is officially out of storage! Now lets all bow our heads and pray to god (or the weather gods) that we don't get any more flipping snow!
