    Lol... can’t wait to hear about that.. :)

    You ever owned Bilstiens? On BMW they come in three different settings if memory is correct. I found them pretty stiff over short bumps. But the last set I owned was many years ago.. and wasn’t on a MINI. Wonder if anyone here has experience with them.

    BItsy always had a fairly rough/stiff ride (more rough now than ever) and if I hit a patch of rough road she's had a tendency recently to wonder a little bit. The guys at Bavarian Repair told me they think she has the sport suspension, but other than the firm ride, I'm not sure how to tell. I can't find any visual indicators that would tell me yes or no. I ordered the sport version Bilstein dampers, fingers crossed that wasn't a bad move. Does anyone know for certain how big of a difference there is between R56 Sport and Standard ride quality? If any?

    I think she's saying "drive it or lose it!".
    Does she know you threw your GoPro at that squirrel on the Dragon? :D

    No Sir, I swapped them out for some Pilot SSports after a year or so with the car.

    Yea they are amazing little cameras. My GoPro was a Hero 4 Black. I was looking forward to doing all sorts of stuff with it. This is after she said "I don't think I would trust the suction cup"

    Today I was told I was “unbanned” from NAM.

    Don’t worry I will always be here on M\A.

    So I tried to login to NAM.

    You have been banned for the following reason:
    Repeated inability to follow respect guidelines.

    Date the ban will be lifted: Never


    Hahahahahahahahaha

    I dropped a note to the administrator so he can see what the hang up is. I think you already spoke with him today. He's trying to get this straightened out.

    True but I still don’t like Donald Bram the felon leader of LXM. It’s not a personal attack, it’s the truth.

    Dave.0 is the original passionate Gen1 owner with a keen wit and somewhat caustic humor. Dave.O is the milder clone that once in a while shows up on the other side.

    Motor on Dave.0

    HAHA One miracle at a time. No one here is promoting Faceplant.

    @r52coop Um I should have warned you Motor on has a different meaning on MA than other places. I made this mistake too. Once:D

    If you have the ability to "return" the 4 I would. The 5 was a pretty significant upgrade in usability and capture quality. Also, I maybe able to get a 6 at wholesale cost.. if you are interested.

    I had slight understeer prior to the new rear sway bar, and I've not really had an issue with torque steer. My biggest issue right now is the hard bound of allegedly blown front struts. Hoping the Bilsteins help that :)

    I would have been.... a week ago. Too late now. I'll just have to be happy with what I've got.

    Well if you decide you need anymore, let me know. Also, I have a ton of different covers etc so before you buy anymore of those hit me up and I can probably send some to you.
