My mechanic is heading to Dallas for a IAIBMW meeting from 9/27 to 10/2. He was looking at places to visit on 10/3 before he leaves to come back to Hawaii.

Is it worth it to visit BMP? Any other places of interest?

Car related maybe RUF in dallas

He also used to wrench for a P car GT Cup team and has a nice DP935 in his garage.

He's looking more for the BMW and MINI stuff.

I went to BMP 2 years ago for a car show/meet that they sponsored. Its not worth the 2.5 hour drive from Dallas imo. Maybe some of the other people that went will chime in.

Autoscope in Richerdson/Plano area is not bad. I visited them when they had DINAN day. They are really big on the DINAN stuff. They have a few blown M3s. Not a very huge place but the guys there have some nice rides.

It's a trek, but Bavarian Hypersport in North Houston is definitely top-notch.

Joel just built a customer e46 M3 that's delivering something like 380 at the wheels normally aspirated; and he's building another one as we speak that he predicts will decently trump that.

its showing TPS sensor which I have one off my spare motor at parents house so this weekend I'll swap sensors and see what happens. I didn't find any loose connectors. Unplugging the battery made my windows no longer double click to roll up. I can't get it to show me the fault codes anymore so if it needs the TPS to show the throttle wide open then with a faulty TPS unit it would loose that ability leaving me to believe its the TPS gone bad. I need a fault code reader.

this is a typical Texas thread. If it makes 4 posts without going off topic it's a mirical. They all start different, but end the same......
