When are you coming back to get the car? I might have to try and find some time to run out there....


The return date might be a ways out given that I missed the winter when JV actually had free time. But I'll let you guys know, maybe we can do beers or something.

That could be fun. As I shamelessly invite myself.

I miss that wheel from my M3C. The M240 wheel is nicely shaped but very strange feeling alleged leather.

And miserably designed radio control buttons, right? How is that progress?

I thought the buttons were weird at first when I got my F30, but now on the 5-series I think they are fine. I actually like the wheel and how I can scroll through presets, song tracks, address book, etc.

I haven't really used the steering wheel buttons enough to form a thorough opinion yet. But I also like the little wheel/roller.

Heck, I was even there that day. I think. It's been a long time.

I remember Nick fighting those bushings.
