It has been a busy month for me, however I am lastly catching up. Beneath are an assortment of photographs I took throughout the PC supply of my G80 “Pure” (6MT) a few weeks again. I do know there have been a variety of different PCD threads, so I will not belabor the small print, however I’ll underscore the brilliance of this program and encourage everybody to attempt it out. (Apparently, although, the supply itself doesn’t undergo each nook and cranny of the iDrive menu system and barely even touched on the totally different drive modes, maybe as a result of these automobiles have gotten so sophisticated they usually merely do not have time for all of it, the way in which they did in my earlier PC deliveries. Learn the guide.)
Along with the supply day itself, my son and I caught round for an additional day, him to attend the Teen Driving Faculty that BMW runs, and me for some grownup enjoyable with their lead teacher, Derek. Lengthy story quick, I had initially hoped to attend a 1-day M Driving Faculty; schedules would not enable it, however Derek reached out and arranged a three-hour driving program in spurts earlier than and after — and throughout the lunch break — of the Teen Faculty, to utilize the observe when it was free. It might not have been a full-day M college, however I’ve little question that I discovered simply as a lot with the one-on-one program. It was extremely enjoyable — way more superior and technical than the standard PC observe time — and Derek was merely superior about serving to his ham-fisted pupil unlearn some unhealthy habits and pushing him laborious.
The M3 is, in a phrase, good. It is not good — what automotive is? — nevertheless it’s simply an unbelievable automotive and delivers countless enjoyable (even when neutered to 5500 RPM). The carbon buckets, as everyone knows, are tough for ingress/egress, however have been incomparable across the observe, and have been comfy for our lengthy drive again house. Anybody who’s pushed a BMW guide will really feel at house with this gearbox, and I feel it is barely extra exact and satisfying than I remembered beforehand. Braking and dealing with are awe-inspiring, and the ability builds relentlessly. It is addictive.
Anyway, with out additional ado…
Over on the Zentrum…

Again to the observe with Derek. What a blast…
