Best/Worst ///Moment

[MN2///M]

I'm bored.....

What's your best or worst ///M story?

[Zayzel]

Owner for 1.5 months: Best moment - Delivery. Worst moment - first bottom out on my CF lip

[nicknaz]

Entire euro delivery and pcd redelivery is a best... lapping spa, ring and going for the speed limiter on the a-bahn... I'll never forgot it and will always have a soft spot for M3 because of that

Worst.. getting back to the US and dealing with speed limits again

[dreventador]

Best: Driving back from getting it lol

Worst: Chipped off the clear coat on my mirrors trying to remove bugs with a pressure washer

[hlothery]

Best: too numerous to count on an almost daily basis

Worst: Third day of ownership. Rules official for a golf tournament, arrived at a club I did not know very early, still dark. Parking in unlit parking lot, I pushed the park assist button and slowly creeped into a dimly lit parking space. No warnings, no problem, right? Wham!!!! I hit a low concrete parking space stop not detected by BMW parking assist, and put a dent in my right front splitter! I was sick. Was able to purchase CF splitters to cover the dent, which helped a lot, can't see a thing now, but I know it is under there. But never, ever trust that parking assist function!!

Best = ED

Worst = Whilst elevating and re-constructing flooded home, neighbor's tree dropped a limb right on the the hood the day after the car got broken into (smashed driver side window) in the supposed 'secure' apartment complex we were temporarily living in!!

Not a good week (or year for that matter!) but all history now .

[IrvineTim]

Best- first track day and beating every car in my class
Worst- seeing how bad these things depreciate

[Habber]

Picked up car last week, they forgot to install MPE. Pick it up after install, they scratched bumper.

[F80_patrickmurray]

[325iExecutive]

Best - the rush from accelerating hard

Worst - grinding noise when I curbed the rear rim

[Parabolica]

Best: Euro delivery.

Worst: the wait while the car is shipped to Toronto.

I can't even imagine.

I almost always park in reverse whenever there's a curb. Or rarely, when I do go in front first I'm super careful. It's pretty funny most of the time because when I get out, I'm like an entire 2 feet away from the curb lol. People definitely think "Guy has an expensive car but can't even park lol"

[FlyingLow78]

Best: first trip through Eau Rouge at Circuit Spa-Francorchamps at speed.

Worst: Complete brake failure at 160 MPH at Monza because I boiled the OEM fluid.

Agree. I haven't been within two feet of a curb or parking barrier since!

I didn't realize Monza was so hard on brakes? Not that i have ever been on that track but would love to!

It's the "Temple of Speed". It's easy to reach 160+ on the straights, and then you have to scrub off all of that speed for the 2nd gear chicanes. I toasted a set of Pagid RS29s in only three laps...they looked like they had been through a fire and they deposited little bits of molten metal on the inside of my wheels.

I installed Revozport front cooling ducts and custom rear ducts with good success. I'm going BBKs and max-width tires shortly, so we'll see how she does next time out.

Best: First WOT pull in sport plus mode after break in.
Worst: By far this past year when a dump truck three lanes over threw off a boulder into my windshield. Damn, those HUD windshields are $$$$.

[MN2///M]

So now that some have shared, like many, I have many ///Moments. So hard to pick the best and worst so I'll probably add a few here and there.

Driving to Denver one day, traffic is backed up doing about 55 in the 2 most left lanes of the 4 lanes going north just past Castle Rock where the speed limit is 75 . I'm in the 3rd lane from the right and see that the right lane is totally open, so I signal and slide into the 2nd lane in front of a gold Chevy Tahoe, paused just long enough to check my mirrors before signaling again as I accelerate into the completely clear right most lane. I have no idea how fast I was going at that moment, but the gold Tahoe slides in behind me and a moment later I glimpse flashing red and blue lights in the rear view.

Damn! I immediately signal and brake as I pull onto the shoulder of the road followed by the unmarked police Tahoe. I pull my license and insurance and wait for the officer to come walking up to my driver's window. He says, "Car's pretty quick isn't it?" I simply replied "yes" as I hand him my license and insurance. He then says, "I had you at 91" to which I replied, "Yea, I was just trying to get around everyone hanging out in the left lane doing 20 under". At the time this happened, I still had a Florida driver's license and Florida plates on my car, so the officer advises me that it is illegal to pass on the right hand side here in Colorado. Now I am thinking this is really going to hurt as I wonder just how expensive this is going to be as he says to me, "The car stops pretty quick also, I was afraid I was going to run into you" and hands me my license/insurance back and tells me to pay more attention to my speed as he nods towards a State Trooper pulled over a few hundred yards up the road and says "That Trooper wouldn't be so nice; have a nice day".

Damn any CF roof damage? That's my nightmare.
