I have the best brother in the world!
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!

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. |

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.

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.
