Haven't seen any updates on your new ride. How is it?
Did you get to the Pittsburgh Vintage Gran Prix last weekend? I took the wife and kids - they really loved it. I think the wife now has a better appreciation for my psyche.

I did go to the GP on Sunday with my son. As far as my new car, I've posted a few preliminary hints about it in other topics but I'm working on something more substantial as I figure some of the new stuff out.
Overall, the new car is pretty incredible -- not that the old one was anything less...

Hey Rudy - Since I know you don't do much modding, if any, are you considering doing anything with the new beast?

Nope. I'm not much of a modder. On the last car, I added the reflectors -- does that count?
Since I lease, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Also, I am a true believer in BMW engineering as it pertains to "systems" so unless the mod is passive (like the reflectors) I don't want to throw any wrenches at something that some very smart people in Germany spent a whole lot of time and effort to develop...

I'm working on a more detailed review of the car which will include information about the options, etc. Unless you need to order your car this week, stay tuned for more information...
I am anxious for your opinion on Nightvision. Mine has been flawless, but it is difficult to look out the windsheild and look at the I drive screen at the same time. But the clarity is amazing IMHO.
