Damn, I can't believe I just said that out loud? Not much to cheer about this year, then again there's always ASU baseball & golf... and Girls Gone Wild! :D Anyways, I just wanted to send a shout out to all the Arizona & SouthWest BMW enthusiasts, and especially a shout out to AzN_M5 for introducing me to this board. I currently drive a 2K+2 Jet Black M3, which actually turned out to be my first BMW. Unfortunately, it blends in with just about every other Black M3 with a Cinnamon Red interior riding on 19" OEM's. Which reminds me! Anyone know of a good place in Phoenix that does wheel (rim) repairs? I had a particularly nasty run in with a curb this weekend in an ASU parking structure, and needless to say, the curb won. Well I hope to get to meet you all up at the Pavilions after the Thanksgiving weekend! Until then, peace!

Welcome to the forum :)

Hey what's up Man!

Glad you found the board ok!

All right, for wheel repair here is what you do.

I recently had some curb rash repaired on one of my wheels.

Go to BMW North Scottsdale and talk to a sales guy named Rick Santa Maria, tell him Chris sent you and you wanted to see about repairing one of your wheels. He will then probably direct you to Steve Backman the #1 service advisor.

You're going to pay a little more, but I tell you, those guys at North Scottsdale are DAMN good at wheel repairs.

Anyway, good to have you aboard! Also, don't forget to post pictures of your car...

Chris

:wave: Welcome

ASU here as well

Chris, I'll definitely take your advice and check out BMW North Scottsdale! It will also give me an excuse to stop by the Persian Room and feast on some Kabobs! As far as pics of the ride, I'll have to think of something imaginative, or just take the easy route and drive up to Papago Park! :D

Mike, good luck to the Cats in this weekend's battle to see who's not #10 in the Pac! It must be hard to get into football when you know the BBall team is going to tear it up year after year. Hopefully, Ike & the gang can give you guys some decent competition this year!

I'm going to throw in the link to my webpage, which hasn't been touched in a few months but hopefully should be entertaining nonetheless. The "Bienvenidos" & "Amigos" links are the only ones that work, and hopefully I can get some new stuff on there over the Turkey Day break.

Alright, well I best be going and preparing for my cross-city trek! Dinner plans are in the Scottsdale Desert Ridge area, and I'm about to pass out from starvation!

~Peace!

hey, i think i've seen ur car around campus before....

yeah there's a couple of us at asu as well :)
altho watchout for that estoril blue e36 m3 w/ the pissed-at-the-world sounding exhaust :awink:

"Ask any racer any real racer...errr"

Sorry guys had a little brain fart there.

Yeah, word to the wise, watch out for any blue M3s making noises usually only heard out of Formula 1 cars.

Hey, welcome to bf.c! ASU here too. See you around campus!

Hahaha, yeah we've grown accustomed to having a bad football team, we need all the luck we can get in football. Thank god for our basketball team :D

Yeah, I've come to the conclusion that on any given day, someone can really really put you in your place (regardless of modifications) if you're not driving around in Sport Mode with SMG Program 5 or 6 dialed in. Yet, that's not to take away anything from the M3! :) It's an amazing feeling to fire up an M3 every morning (or any BMW for that matter), it makes me wish the drive to work was 100 times longer!


hey, i think i've seen ur car around campus before....

I'm usually at ASU on Monday & Tuesday evenings parked around the P.E. East building. The only way to distinguish my car from all the other Black/Cinammon M3's is by the flip-up side view mirrors. Which I hardly use of course, because if the parking space is so tight that I have to flip up my side views to fit, chances are I'll be crawling out through the sunroof!


So Mike, any suggestions on where to watch the ASU vs. UofA game in the old Pueblo? I'm visiting my family in Tucson over the Thanksgiving Day break, and it looks like Fox Sports Net isn't included in the Cox Basic option!

So what do you do, drive around in Automatic? Silly boy.

That's what the paddles are for. As soon as you see someone fly by you nail that left paddle as many times as you can and send yourself into Sequential...assuming of course you left it in S5 then lets see how much that car gains on you.

Ha Ha! :D Actually, I also drive around with the parking brake on!

I'm still trying to master the transformation from everyday civilian to "S" badged super hero whenever someone tries to get a little brave. :) I usually sit in my car for about 2 hours a day and practice hitting the Sport & DSC buttons in one shot, then tapping the SMG toggle button up to S6 on the right arm recoil. Now, if I could only get Oakenfold's "Ready, Steady, Go" to automatically start playing!

you and me both.. i solved the dsc issue.. i just made it a habit to turn it off when I start the car in the morning and turn it back on when it rains or something..

now if I could only figure out how to NOT get excited when I'm gunning it and get the 1-2 shift right... i pull too hard to the left and on my way down to 2 I get it stuck in the "reverse" notch.. :rolleyes: it's like the most anticlimatic floorboard test in history... :(

Welcome PagalM3! Wait, I just registered on this site too, so send some welcomes down this way too:D . After getting convinced by PagalM3 at the Lord of The Rings Sat night fest, I decided to join this forum so that I can roll with the popular people in this area code.

My Brief Bimmer Stats: 01 540i 6MT Dinan Stage 1 without the S badge and front strut tower bar.

Hope to meet you guys one day soon.

Glad to see we have a 5 series in the group now!

Can't wait to see it sometime in the near future.

I look forward to meeting you/seeing your car!

Chris

Dude, what the hell are you waiting for, all these welcomes and questions should be your cue that...

:needpics

Well, guys, you got to use your imagination for now till I get a decent pic of the battleship. Before that I need to do my 16-24hr detail job. You guys have pictures that are too cool.

I'm trying to sell my modded 98 Subaru GT Wagon AWD, 36kmiles if anyone is interested. Cant even attach a pic cos the max file size is like 76k up here??? Well.....email me if interested.

GTMAN! Great to see you finally make it to the forum! Sorry to hear that you're going to get rid of the Subaru, you could probably pass it off as "off the showroom floor" after your detailing job. We'll have to coordinate and grab some pics of the rides with the digital camera, I need to get a sweet signature to complement the other board members! BTW, why do you have to bring up the exhaust note man? You just have high-rev envy! :D

Chris, what's up! I still haven't had a chance to make it up to the Pavillions to meet the group, these last few weekends have been busy as heck! This weekend I'm in San Jose, & the weekend after I'm out of town for the Holidays. Actually, I probably won't get a chance to meet everyone until February since I'll be leaving to Argentina in January. If you guys ever kick back during the week, let me know, maybe we can do something then!

PagalM3, sorry dude, I did not mean to comment on your high pitched vocals....my bad...thought the M3 does scream louder. When you hit Barry White subsonic frequencies, everything else sounds light weight:). I wonder how M5's sound??

Seems like there will be a new sherif in San Jose this weekend....he'll be sportin a Jet Black Mirror flippin M3:)!

FYI, M5s sound $&#*ing MEAN!!!! :evil2

I'll show you guys some time.

And if you guys ever want to do a photo shoot and meet up for sig pics, let me know. I usually have more free time than I know what do with.

Chris

AzN_M5, I bet she does sound mean...big 5.0 race tuned everything....gives me goose bumps just imagining the sound of the glorious might.

Chris: Sorry about taking your thread, it was already Wednesday and I was getting anxious about the weekend and seeing some of the BMW's that I see in everyone's signatures :)

Skilit

I saw this on the last Pavillions thread started by Skilit, and it reminded me of this video clip I saw on hamncheez. After watching it, it will make you realize that you don't really need a 540i or even a Ferrari to get the attention you need. All you really need is some common hand tools... and an elephant! :D

Indian Bad Asses! (http://www.hamncheez.com/download.php?v=peugeot.mpg)

lol, i saw that same commercial/vid a while back....hilarious, especially the end where they're crusing in the car :biglaughb

Welcome back PagalM3....dude, why you gotta go off on the 540i dawg? That clip was crazy though. I bet ridin over to pick someone up on an elephant will turn more heads that an M3:)....j/k bro.
