OK, background-had the check engine light come on last week. Took it in and the dealer said it just needed some of the software modules updated. Well, that DID clear the code. However, on the way in to work this morning, it triggered again. Seems I can trigger it at will by accelerating from a...

Seems to happen for only about 10-15 seconds on first start of morning until idle speed slows a bit. Sometimes even sounds like I'm revving the engine. Just took her in for Inspection 1 and they couldn't find anything (no codes). They speculate "fuel" except that I try to only run Shell V power...

'cause this one caused a scare. Oops.

Rock slide has defanged the Dragon temporarily. If any of you were out to run it in the Spring, think again. :( http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/7401772/

Is this difficult? I've seen it offered sub $150 (but then you have to pay the dealer to reprogram the keys). I know it's prewired but don't want to crack into something too difficult. There were a rash of break-ins today in the parking lot and not one car had an alarm to scare the @#$$%(*&...

:rofl: This is more like it!

OK, got the photos today--my girl on the Dragon.

I know some of you ran the Dragon at Homecoming last year. I want to give it a go after my time at the Performance Center. What's the best route to get there? How long to get there? How long to run the Dragon? I'm trying to time it so I'm not any where near Charlotte when the race traffic hits...

Engines are arriving in SC for final assembly for the X6s. Friend of mine who works at the plant dropped in today. He also said the new assembly building should be up and operational in July. Right now, the X5, X6 and X3 are all that are slated to be built there. Sure, they're over the top, but...

Anyone done this? The local chapter of BMWCCA is doing one May 16th (along with the Virginia one). Best thing is, it's half the usual price. One day $630. Not all the spots filled so if any of you NC/VA guys want to have fun..... I can't wait!!! :driving:

Hubby laughed and said she must have taken more than the next twenty minutes. :evil:

OK, since two of our fellow PiratZ are too drunk to help, here's a start: When do we want to do it? Joanna couldn't come out for ZFest, but maybe she can for this if we time it right. Where do we want to do it? We could do something like Fontana Village or other mountainous places. NOLA? Can we...
