Yes, tap the indicator again in the SAME direction, and it will stop.

I think he meant the stopping of the video.

At first glance... Yea he did seem salty and unusually critical. However, after a few reviews I find it more than humorous. Further, seeing him absolutely gush over the car gets my blood rushing in that very good BMW way.

I've sent the video out to a few clients, and this has pushed them off the fence and provided the push they needed to sign up (and get in line) for their very own monster M5.

Cheers~

Indeed sir I am. While not a dealer principle, I do enjoy employment as such.

And thank ye for the welcome. I've had many a customer refer to the information from your boards and myself have become a fan.

Whats more, I've learned a lot from your bimmer fanatics (and critics) and the variety of posts.

Still can't get it to play past the indicator bit. I get a dialogue box that ehen clicked on restarts the download/buffering and I can't get it to continue from where it froze. Frustrating!

Did you right click and save as to your PC? Works much better than watching streaming video.

Stream,

Yes, I DL it on my PC at the office, Mac Powerbook and an Imac at home. Same thing happens with all three machines. Fre*%#** MS windblows player is L-A-M-E POS on a good day!! Thanks Uncle Billy : )

Also, thanks for the 303 dressing recommendation. Picked some up this week and it works great on tires. Looks better than the Griot garage dressing I was using for sure.

For some reason I like Fifth Gears (Tiffs) review alot better than top gear. Does any one feel the same way?

Yours truly,
Jim
