  1. I guess I will just have to drive a car with the Strut system myself…

    Good review of the R56. I agree that the center control panel feels Fisher Price- esque.

  2. I find it amazing that the M7 understrut system can do as much as Gabe says – I believe him, I’m just amazed (as he was too, apparently)

    Good discussion on the R56; it’ll be interesting to have a “re-review” a year from now, when we all have got used to it …

  3. The only reason I haven’t gotten another batch of Motoring Badges is that I’m worried you’ll come out with new designs RIGHT AFTER I order.

    If you guys are taking a ‘new’ design break, I’ve got my eye on some R50 badges…

  4. The M7 USS is 3 pieces, not 2 as mentioned in the podcast. There is a front trapezoid, rear rectangle, and middle crossbar. I sure hope that you did get 3 pieces!

    Ian, I can’t speak for the hardtop but it made a dramatic difference in my cabrio.

  5. I had an 03 and now an 06. The 06 is quicker and seems to be built better. But the rattles and occassional mechanical burp added character to the 03. I would relate it more to your favorite old shirt that your wife wants so bad for you to throw out.

  6. Hi Guys,

    Crashing continues 100-105. However, I just turned off the EQ function and I can now play them all! I think I got this tip from one of Leo’s Netcasts – I listen to too many at this point to remember.
