After being in Manhattan for a weekend I'm not sure I'd ever want to drive there.

It was easy enough to get in and out of there, parked for 24 hours for $37, didn't think it was too bad.

My buddy who's a trader (and traitor) moved out there a year ago. He was paying $950 a month for his e90 M3 and $450 a month to park it and not drive it.

$450 a month for a parking spot seems dirt cheap for that area.

This and new gaskets equals no more leaks! Videos coming soon to a computer or smart phone near you!

I've read that new struts take a bit of time to 'break in' - what's the consensus of the experts here, is that true? Just wondering when it's safe to form a real opinion of the upgrade. Either way, it IS an upgrade....appears the old struts were original with 102K on them!

Also got my dash trim swapped out from the brushed aluminum to the black cube pieces I bought. Huge improvement, in my opinion... Sorry for the crappy pics - the trim isn't as shiny as the flash makes it appear. Will try to get better pics in natural light, but it looks very nice with the Rustoleum satin black.

Very nice.
