My luck won't last forever. I was pretty convinced I was screwed. For one, DSC is set to off when I hit the M button. My tires screached as I pulled a hard turn on the corner. I think that's what caught his attention...and probably the sound of my exhaust.
He was cool though. I asked him what he thought of the new RDSport Spoiler and the carbon fiber accents. He liked it. We connected. Hahahahaha! Just kidding. I didn't ask him that crap.
Honestly though, I think the fact that I was 35, respectful, and told him I was off to pick up my wife made him reconsider the situation. I think he was actually quite surprised I wasn't some yooung idiot driving around. I was an old idiot. Hahahaha! Had I been a young kid, there is no doubt that I would have been nailed hard. There are a lot of spoiled kids in my town that drive very fancy cars. The cops LOVE busting them and giving them nasty tickets.

Sounds you are having too much fun. Are you going to go mod crazy and do all 3 sections like ECF?
I've put 3K miles on the car since I got it at the end of August. I can't stop driving it.

So VERY true! I'm 32 years old, but when cops pull me over, why do they ask if it's my parent's car or something ignorant? After that garbage, I just throw them my license and registration info, roll up the windows, turn up the beat, and wait patiently for my ticket.

I recently purchased the RPI Pulleys from Trinity Autosport. I received them on Friday. I had them installed today. One word...AMAZING! There is no question this is the other best bang for your buck (Sprint Booster being the other 
. The one thing our cars lack is torque, especially on the low end. Well, this completely changes that. The car is totally different. It pulls with such force now. I even let my mechanic drive it and he has driven my car on a few occassions (He also happens to own an M3 and know's more about BMW's than most dealerships). He too, immediately said "wow!".
So with that, thank you Trinity/Joe!! I love the new pulleys. What a difference!!!
Now for the funny part...
As I exited the shop, I was behind a slow poke. As we made a left turn at the light, I moved around him, hit the M button and took off. I had too!!!! Hahahaha! Anyway, I started thinking about how there is normally a cop that hangs out at that corner where I turned and how I didn't bother to look this time. Well, low and behold, he was there. Sure enough, as I'm half way down the block, I decide to look in my rear view mirror and he pulls out. I then get caught at a red light and he just pulls up behind me, but doesn't turn his lights on. I look in my mirror and see him pointing for me to pull over. I wave and kindly oblige. Hahahaha!
He comes up to the window, asks me if I'm in a hurry (which I was...had to pick up the wife at her office tonight). He then proceeds to tell me my tint level is questionable, my insurance card has expired and I have no front plate. So let's see... That would be:
1) Wreckless Driving
2) No Insurance
3) Tint
4) No Front Plate
LOL!!!!
He finally returns, hands me my stuff back, tells me to fax in my latest insurance card and hands me a ticket for my front plate. No moving violation ticket and no tint ticket. Ah yeah baby!
And that's the story of the day!
