A couple small things.
1) Changed out my left window switch unit as the "all up/all down" broke.
2) Car hood unfortunately got caught by a sprinkler and the water out here is very hard. It left awful water spots and a big coating that would not come off. Fortunately I found out about a water spot remover (I live with 10-15 minutes of a Chemical Guys showroom) so I tried it and it worked great! Whew! (That white spot in the pic is just a reflection, it's not on the hood).
3) My daily driver gas mileage (mostly short trips) dropped from 16.X to 15.7 MPG when I got my Gruppe M Intake. BUT, just one highway trip of 200 miles each way (including some stop and go traffic) the avg. MPG JUMPED to 18.9, and even peaked at 19 for a sec. The Gruppe M likes freeways.

Just catching up on this thread... Good to see all the updates, and congrats on the new rating... Speaking of 'Chiefs', I am getting close to my last upgrade as well. When I get off the ship this time, I'll be sending in the paperwork and upgrading my license for the last time... Chief Engineer... Never thought I'd see that..

As for the vehicles, I ordered a couple of small cosmetic mods for the X3, and I'm feverishly hunting for a Dinan X-pipe for the M3 as they're discontinued from Dinan... Damn California and their smog laws... Ruining it for the rest of us...

Chemical Guys Water Spot Remover - I used the "marine" gel, which they said was perfectly fine for cars. The gel is easier to use.

Ecstuning has an aluminum F connector. Might have to check it out. Anyone got any G2 on these?

Why is your mileage so low? I get around 26 mpg in a mixed country/highway setting.

I just got an email from ECS today and saw that connector. As far as my gas mileage, pretty common for verts, especially city ones with short trips. They are heavier, I drive with a lead foot, lots of traffic. It gets aired out on the weekends with some freeway driving, but that is spirited so it doesn't help gas mileage either.
