Picked this beauty at the Welt in Munich last week. Drove to France through Austria, Switzerland, and Back to Munich. 1650 miles total. This is my first M.

You'd driven that car with an export numberplate? I was awaring those ugly side reflectors into the fenders first and saw afterwards the numberplate...so, to which country should the car exported to aside from US?

Dang,

This was my first time picking up a car from the Welt. I knew my plates were different, but you called them "export plates", do the plates signify that the car is being exported?

This car is being shipped to the U.S., I live close to Chicago.

Yes, I replace the side reflectors, I think you can get them in black.

Cheers,
KP

Bought a small inverter for the office (my car)... Mostly just to have in case I need to charge the laptop while on the road.

Yes, those are only mounted at cars which are considered to export. The red bar at the side is the key color.
Nice move to come over here just to pick up the car in person before its gonna shipped home. I hope that nothing would went wrong during shipping.

Just picked this up. Obviously I won't use the trim with the "M" logo and just use the sport trim from my current wheel.

What haven't I bought lately! To start:
  • 4x ESCO stands
  • 5-gal container ('cause I don't recycle oil after every single oil change)
  • another shopvac
  • 3100psi pressure washer (thnx CostCo!)
  • backpack blower (Stihl BR600)
  • 5-gal Humic-12
  • 5-gal RGS

There's a stock plastic charge pipe behind the jack stands...that's 'cause I swapped it out of the X1 for a VSFR CP.

I just heard about Carbon-X but haven't read up on it much. LCN's site was sold out by Sat morning. GCI still had a few hundred bags left. Looking at GCF's site, it looks like there is a variant w/ prodiamine and LCN has a version w/ RGS. Maybe I'll revisit it later when I have the brain cycles to make sense of the variants and who sells what. I don't want prodiamine in the back/sides since I plan to overseed. I don't want the RGS version if I'm going to put down RGS already but I want some P for where I overseed.

I was going to put down the RGS today but it snowed yesterday/last night soooo....yeah. I was hoping to get a starter fert put down during the week since it is supposed to rain a little bit and that'd help water it in but I wanted to put the RGS down first. I also need to read up on when it would be best to fit in the Humic Acid during the season (vice another application of RGS in the fall). I can wait until the LT arrives next Sat. That way I can mow & aerate first.

At present, my noob thought was:
1. mow/aerate
2. thrown down RGS (entire lawn)
3. starter fert in the back/sides (was thinking Lesco Starter Fert, 18-24-12)
4. overseed the back/sides
5. thrown 'something' down in the front (Milo...maybe try Carbon X...something)

Until the snow yesterday, wkly avg soil temps cleared 50F. It'll be back above that this week. I also have weeds popping up since I skipped pre-emergent this spring since I'd overseed (probably could've still done it in the front yard, though). I'll have to blast those w/ something. I have plenty of Q4 from my past crabgrass wars.

I have plenty of Q4 from my past crabgrass wars.
the RGS in the CarbonX to me is just a bonus. not only that but it also has all your necessary micronutrients as well. this in the long run is actually much cheaper than Milorganite. I usually need 10 bags of Milo for my yard whereas I only need 1 bag of CarbonX. I ordered 2 bags since this should take care of my fertilizer needs for the rest of the year

I have a 4 gallon backpack sprayer so I combine both RGS/Humic12. apply mid Spring and that another Mid summer and that's it. I try to keep it simple and not over do it.

my regimen every year is early spring I would pretty much cut the dormant grass down to an inch to get rid of all the brown, dead grass.
Than dethatch/aerate. wait a week or 2 for the plugs to break down than throw down my pre emergent for crabgrass. the following week is when I apply my first app of RGS/Humic12. about May is when you'll start to see the broadleafs coming in like dandylions and clover. I usually spot spray for those.
