How obsessed are you w/BMW?

Aside from your car, what else do you customize with BMW paraphernalia?

Small example of my obsession.

The theme isn't on Cydia, as it was hand pieced together over time by me.

You're right, the speedo only goes to 140, but I didn't make it, so I'm not at fault. :P

I've considered packaging it, but I've simply had no time, plus there are some minor nuances I haven't quite worked out yet.

If there's enough interest, I may use some of the 6 weeks of vacation I'm about to take and build it up and make it available.

I'm considering using 5 Row, to scrunch the icons some more, but I dunno. Additionally, I need to start shopping for more custom icons for some of the other apps that fit in with the theme. The first page is really what I prefer (save the 4th icon in the 2nd row).

Trust me, if I could manipulate the icons more (locationwise), I would. :P

I was way more obsessed with my VW. Our community here isn't as close and involved.

I have two of their cars ('04 ///M3, '10 128i) and one of their motorcycles (R1200 RT). I think Sabine Schmitz is a hottie!

I'm obsessed. My groom's cake will probably have the ///M logo on it. Granted, I met my fiance on the local BMW CCA forum, and she is more addicted than I am.

Regarding your phone, I'm interested in how you turned your unlock slider into the ///M logo. I'd like to do something similar.

If you've jailbroken your phone, you can do it...it requires either Cydia or SSH, and it's not as simple as you might think.

I like being open to all makes. I think BMW does well in some areas but other makes like Audi have their qualities as well that you just can't get with a BMW. No car is perfect, so you might as well go through several to get a taste of each makes' best offerings.

Ammonia like intolerable pungent smell from AC blower.
My vehicle emits ammonia like intolerable pungent smell when its AC blower is switched on may for first 20 to 30 seconds in the starting. Here in INDIA none of the BMW staff could solve the issue, Nor they knew how to go about to solve it, This vehicle has run only 3500 Kms & trouble started at the time when it was at about 2200 Kms .
It is a brand new vehicle 2009 July model.
Now almost after 7 weeks of the complaint - their technical team has decided to replace its A/C EVAPORATOR - Hope it is the right solution
If it claims to be a brand leader ???????? Why ?????
If someone can pffer some tips. --- Thanks.

yeah. I'm obsessed about cars in genereal. I like BMWs, but I like stuff from every manufacturer, and from every era, new old, vintage, modern. I've had cars from Europe, Japan, America. Over 100 cars in the last 30 years.

Obsession over one model, or marque, seems so limiting.
