i didnt get that tool when i installed the running boards on my e53, i just used two pliers and an extra hand from a friend... this time, i wanna do it the easy way, of course with the help of that rivet gun...

How much was you fender arches?

I wish I had the rivet gun for the bumper skin when I did the trailer hitch on my '03. BTW, my back STILL hurts from installing it, and that was two years ago...always have a friend and some Tylenol for hitch installation.

So talk me through this. You are only passengers for the hot lap? Do you get to track yourself? The ABS is the skidpad thing? Slalom through cones?

We were 6 couples that took delivery that day, 5 35ds and 1 3ers...
separated into two groups, instructors were Donnie and i cant remember the other guy... Your test car will have a radio receiver where you hear the instructions... You will always be by yourself on the test car except on the hot lap where you have to ride with the instructors on their M3...

On my group, we started with the ABS test, where i didnt do well :dunno:, you will have 3 tries, 40mph, 45mph, then 50 mph... dont forget to slam on the brakes, remember, its not your car.... :rofl:

Next was the Slalom course, you get to drive in the whole track with strategically placed cones to guide you. My advise is to just step on the gas, no way you can flip your test X6... :thumbup: and try racing the other cars on the car, so much fun...

Then the Skidpad thing, you will be driving a 3 series this time, DSC is off, with the instructor on the shotgun, a bit dangerous and scary, but what the heck, its not your car, so again, step on the gas and let the car spin, lol.... when the DSC thing is on again, it wont be as fun since you cant make the car spin again... :(

Finally, the Off roading course... fun and a bit scary, especially when you are on the top of a man-made hill and you car is tilted to the side, holding that position for at least 10 seconds... :rofl:

ooops, before i forget, Donnie and the other instructor will ask you to ride on their ///M3's for the hot lap, each one of you will have their turns... you take the shotgun this time, my advise, keep your eyes OPEN, you can curse inside the car :rofl:... and be amazed by their driving skills... :thumbup:

L, please tell Donnie i wanna race him next time... :bustingup:D:nanana::rofl:;)
