...And this is why I love my XI (if you don't like dirty BMW's don't look)

Although I think it's time to raise the car up a bit...

I was destroying chunks of snow/ice on the road with my lip. Any more snow than this and it would be bad news. I have to raise it for winter

That looks like loads of fun. You gotta raise your car up a bit or else your bumper won't last through winter.

No need to adjust the boost.. the latest V3 maps have cold weather compensation built right in!

actually I can attest to that......30 degree weather even w/ a race gas map set to 100% and I only saw 15.3psi. Was shooting for 17psi but the map wouldnt allow it. Car was a bullet though.
