My Ride: 2007 550i, Black Sapphire, SMG, M-Aerokit, Sports Package, Comfort Access, Logic 7,
Haha.... You got busted. 
Hey, something similar happened to me last week too when I left Shark Club. Costa Mesa PD flipped the lights on as I turned into a gas station. His excuse for pulling me over was b/c I didn't have a front plate. He asked I get out the car and test if I was DUI. Lucky me I didn't drink that night and that the alcohol he smelled in the car was from my g/f. Anyway, I didn't get any kind of ticket. So, I filled the gas up and as I left the gas station, I saw that he had just pulled another person over. Careful peeps, Costa Mesa PD are just waiting to pounce on people leaving clubs.

I think I'll take dinan's advice and install the V1 soon.

You're kidding right? Maybe it's the AWD but our 230hp+ 3.3L Sienna is a pig. But it's a pig that moves people well.
It has a little oomph to it

My Ride: 07 550i Ti Grey SP.
05 4.4 X5
I had a Kansas State Trooper stop me for doing 93 in a 65 in my X5. He told me that in some states that would be a serious offense.....LOL
Good part is I was doing about 120 before I slowed to 93.
