Hi All:
Oh well, I did in again in the title--"Especially" not "Especailly."
I have not read everything carefully yet, but the new Roundel has some very good info in articles/question reply on BMW's and cracking the OBD-II codes (article), BMW V-8's (article), and octane ratings and performance, etc. (repy to question). So, if you are not currently receiving Roundel and are interested in these topics, then you might want to scout around for a copy.

Anybody know if it is available online any where? We still don't get magazine delivery here in New Orleans, post Katrina... 
Nevermind, found the Roundel mag on the CCA website, though the May issue is not yet posted.
