Return to the Feather

Back when I was new to wet shaving, I bought a blade sampler from someone (cant remember whom), tried all of them and settled on Derbys to be the best bet. I threw away the remaining feather blades and they cut and irritated the dickens out of my face and neck. Well, I "found" the old blad...

I used undiluted CLR from Home Depot where the man assured me it wouldn't even remove paint so I figured it'd be safe on the Futur. I soaked it overnight and through work the next day. When I looked at it after the soak there was a TON of soap scum and junk floating in the water. I literally removed...

Ive found that I can get a wonderful and comfortable shave from 1 to 1.5 on the futur. Though Im missing out on the bragging rights of being about to do it on 10. :lol:

Sam, what your mechanic mentioned about modules and electronics needing replaced and the expense holds true for BMW models too when there is a problem. However, dont let that hold you back. I cant stress enough that the extended service contract and extended maintanence are well worth their prices a...

Whered my post go? I swear I posted another in here. Anyway, my opinion is slightly biased but I honestly believe the BMW is the way to go. Just make sure youre comparing apples to apples when looking. 335i twin turbo is a bit different than a standard 328i.

Dont count out that the BMW will have free service maintenance during your warranty period with the option to buy the extended up to 100k. Silly not to buy that car with the ext. maint. warranty imho.

Cleaning a satin Futur

Hey gang. Would using the recommended cleaning methods in the cleaning thread hurt the finish on the futur at all? Dont want to ruin it but its getting nasty. Thanks!

The X6 isnt too shabby. The M is even more amazing. I drive these cars every day and must say that BMW is an excellent vehicle. If youre looking into that class, also check out the audi S series as theyre also wonderful machines. If you have any BMW questions, feel free to shoot me a PM or post them...

School zone speed limits

Does it tick anyone else off when theyre cruising along at the speed limit (and its 35 in my city!) and someone blows past you in a school zone? Every morning someone will give me a dirty look or flash their lights from behind me while im very kindly following the speed limit through the school zone...

Very strange. There was a robin trying to get into my bedroom early this morning. He wasnt flying into the window though. He was flying up and down the window trying to get in. Then later, after he woke me up way earlier than usual, he was doing the same thing on my picture window to the deck. Stran...
