@huntertec - thanks for the tips. I'll consider this someday.

@powers1 - yup, "look without the soot"! I like that! Thanks!

@roy2593 - no problem at all roy. its all good. nice job on your X as well. i appreciate the pictures. don't you just love those 2 chrome tips protruding out unlike our diesels - plain looking rear end

@blueagle - thanks. I tried to join and register like you've suggested previously (power seats thread) but the site never 'auto-replied' back to me and I was never approved. Discrimination? hahaha! tampo na ako I'm referring to bimmerclub.ph.

Ever since I got my X, I've always been in this forum. I felt that I learned a lot more from here versus our local sites. No offence if you're a mod or admin there. I also travel frequently to the US hence most of my issues are related to US related solutions and specs e.g. my issues on shipping the power seats I got from Fountain Valley CA to the Philippines. Thanks again!
