I can see it now -- you'll hook up jumper cables to another BMW with a dead battery and both cars will show a "duplicate IP address exists on the network" message...

My Ride: 2004 BMW 530i - no mods. Pretty basic really. I mean it has tires, windows, and a sweet look, what more could a man want? Honestly, I'd like to improve the sound system mildly, and possibly find a worthy engine mod that would increase my BHP by 100 without giving an arm and a leg for. I don't think it's out there, so I'll stay stock and love driving my 530i.
Pretty kewl, I'm actually surprised it hasn't been though of previously. Love the comments... had me laughing... yeah I'm a nerd.

Hello BMW Assist, I am 192.234.168.2, I think I have a problem with my car - I just dropped a pair of scissors in the hood.
