    Blimey just got a new windshield!
    First replacement evar. Got 120k miles outta the first one. I've been complaining about how pitted it was for the last 70k miles... but never bugged me quite enough to deal with getting it replaced. Finally cracked. Now I can see though the windshield again - a wonderful thing.

    Looks great! I have considered getting the steering wheel and headlight washer overlays from them. Are you happy with the quality?

    Clicked over 11,000 miles on the commute home.

    No issues still, took delivery on 3/28/12.

    I did anger the TPMS alert though this past week. I'd experimented with 29 lbs per tire vs. the door jamb spec of 33 lbs to see if that'd take a little of the edge off the run-flats without much other effect. It did, however when I left it outside the other morning, our first here into the low 40's, I got a TPMS alert when I started driving. Stopping to check at a service station five miles down the road, the rears were showing 27psi compared to 29 in the fronts...apparently that was too large a delta from spec, and I got the light.

    I put them all back to 33, and used the owner's manual instructions to reset the light, no issues.

    The Flying Breadbox

    Caught air unexpectedly, while driving perhaps too fast on an unfamiliar Ranch-to-Market road. The approach to a low water crossing (unannounced until after said "air") was rather abrupt and steep.

    The Clubman kept it's composure in a decidedly British/Bavarian manner.

    Took off the MOTD / Summer rims and Star Spec tires and put on the Winter R90 beaters with Michelin A/S.

    Fall brings Winter and Winter brings Spring and Spring brings MOTD!

    Oh I also washed and waxed today.
