I have the best brother in the world!

HTTP 410 · 04-16-2018, 09:31 PM

My brother and I live within 10 minutes of each other and are very close. We talk on the phone almost every day if nothing more than to see how our day went. I'm 4 years older and enjoy doing stuff for and with him. One year for Christmas I treated him to the 2–day BMW car control class. We went together and had a blast. In 2015, he and I went to Munich to go to the Welt and drive the autobahn in a new M5. To this day, that is the most memorable trip and I'll remember it always.

We were texting early this morning and, out of the blue, he sent me a copy of a PayPal invoice showing that he had purchased the M Performance exhaust for my 2018 M2.

It was a completely unexpected thing for him to do and, to be honest, makes me a little uncomfortable because it's a lot of money. He knows that I've been thinking about getting it for some time now.

I'm very fortunate to have such a great brother. Love you, bro!

Very awesome. I am jealous.

dmboone25 · 04-16-2018, 10:22 PM

Excellent story, and an awesome brother.

Make sure you post some vids when you get that bad boy installed!

zhp2m3 · 04-16-2018, 10:42 PM

That's very cool and what brotherhood is all about. We need some more of that in this world no matter how much or little the gift is!

That is one awesome brother.

Not competing or anything but your post just brought up a similar memory of mine. My boss at work actually got me an OEM BMW M235i car cover which was around 450$ back in 2015 because I did not have a garage back then and he thought I should be covering the car in the carport in my apartment.

Needless to say, he's a complete car guy himself and probably the best boss anyone could have but I was never expecting that.

It still puts a smile on my face when I think about it.

dang. no brothers. are sisters doing it ?

RKP diffuser went on today. Sadly, she's at the dealer dealing with the cold start vibration.

It's still awesome though. I'll try to get a video up tomorrow.

amancuso · 04-27-2018, 07:47 PM

What causes the vibration?

Honestly, I don't know. It only happens when it's a cold start and lasts just 3-5 seconds. It's very noticeable and it's audible as well. I did a lot of research prior to getting it and it's a known thing with various solutions. Even with the vibration, I still love it.

Will post back here as to the resolution.
