How often is it that TWO 325XiT's will be at an auto-x, much less the same heat?Nick325xiT 5spd said:Sadly, I'm also in the second heat, otherwise, we could exchange comments.![]()
And both manual, too! :yikes:nate328Ci said:

I want pictures of your car at full tilt! :thumb:
You got the S-03s?TD said:I'm in the bottom of the first heat. You're very welcome to ride with me, although I'm not sure how much you'll learn. I did get new tires last weekend (S-03s) so I have no idea how they'll perform. They're better, grippier tires, but they are also new with tall tread blocks.
I'll bring my camera and take a pic for you, okay? Knowing Clyde, I doubt he'd mind.nate328Ci said:

Yea, that's fine. It is rare to see an Xi navigating the conesTD said:

I *could* pick on you for not reading my post, but I won't. I said I got them last weekend. It is too early for me to post any comments as it hasn't been that long AND I only re-torqued to lugs tonight to eliminate the shake that I felt from the front after the install. They do seem like they have great grip, but the shake was driving me nuts. I also had to reduce my daily-driving tire pressure (from 40F 38R to 38F 36R) as these tires are MUCH firmer than the Contis. I am sure I'll bump the pressure backup, but, combined with the shake, I could feel the vibration through my seat. I only got around to doing the re-torque tonight but taking air out only took a couple of minutes a few days ago and it helped reduce the vibration. By Saturday (in advance of the autox) my pressures will be back up to 40F 38R, especially if the shake truly is gone. My post-re-torque test drive told me it was, but I'll know for sure after my commute tomorrow.nate328Ci said:

How long ago?
They are good :thumb:
Not a problem. I'll put in the BIG card and fresh batteries and pass the camera around.Nick325xiT 5spd said:Make sure you get some of me, too, TD.![]()
If you want to, feel free. But the "BIG card" holds (I forget the exact number) well over 100 pics. I think that covers us. I just need webspace to post the good ones. I guess I'll have to take down my drivers school write-up that's hogging my Bimmerfest webspace.Nick325xiT 5spd said:I can bring batteries and another couple cards, too. :thumb:
I'm tempted to bring my film camera... Nikon N90s with 80-200/2.8... Shall I?
I'll host 'em if you want. I have about 40MBs free right now.TD said:

I'm an idiot, I can't believe that I missed that :tsk:TD said:
