I had to renew in person last year and had a weird situation where they didn't mail me, or the mail didn't get delivered. Two weeks before my Birthday I called to ask about my renewal and where my DL was... After 2 hours on hold they told me I had to come in since I hadn't had a picture update in 20 years. Couldn't get an appointment, so I just went in the next day, which was a Wednesday.

Line was already about 200 people 20 minutes before they opened. Took almost 2 hours to get inside, to sit and wait 6 more hours and finally get called 10 minutes before the office closed.

I spent the whole day listening to 6 dudes from somewhere South of the US asking if getting an ID in California would keep them from getting deported. These guys were fucking morons. If you're going to break the law, at least know what the law is, what the penalties are and how the system works.

Worst day in my life, easily. the was building and I was tempted to tell them I worked for INS just to cut down my wait after they ran out the door.

Re the bolded, Never had a scary health diagnosis? Never lost someone close to you? Never got to the hospital literally minutes after a beloved relative died alone because you didn't drive quite fast enough?

Ron, dramatic license is allowed when dealing with the California DMV. I have to go get my license renewed (vision test, et al) and deal with this Real ID jazz. They should have a rule where if you have a passport, you don't need all the other crap to get a "Real" ID. The U.S. Passport is the ultimate form of ID in America.....it should trump CA procedure.

In a state where non citizens have more rights/benefits than citizens common sense does not apply.

I think I'll create it once it arrives... if it ever does after Habachi somewhere in the middle of no where.

I can get close, but I am i can get that close. I really did put a lot of thought into this, and planned it to be this close on purpose, even before getting the car.

I had to park the 335i for 2 weeks as I was going to roll over with that car, lessons were learned...

Damn... I would have spent 21k miles, 1 set of PSS and 70 fill ups with the m3.
18 cents per mile...
Average MPG was 20.8 which IMO is pretty damn

[max225]

double shit

[Detroit]

Total avg nearly 21mpg? That really is

Over 70 fill ups yes. My 335i averaged 24 over 41 fill ups.. I wonder what the Mini will average... Technically 600lbs lighter than the M3, and 1 less turbo and 2 less cylinders. But the front windshield reminds me of a :wrangler:

You'll probably average around 30. The wife averages about 35 in hers with the turbo three.

thanks man. I am fully predicting an epic shitstorm with the dmv.... I didn’t get any notifications about my paperwork being sent out, I’m hooked up with ups so they notify me of any incoming packages... so hasn’t sent the title as promised ....
Also... they haven’t cashed my check



Did the car even ship ?

My feeling is that the check takes three to five business days before you will see the withdrawal. I think it will work out and you will have the car and the title, but at least the car and may need to make more calls for the title. We have the ability to print out new titles with each buy and sell at the local DMV, so they may just be loafting on going to their DMV to get it printed in your name, and/or will send it priority mail, and/or you will find it in the glove box.

Either way, with it being a Florida dealer you never know how they can be. If they are dumb and honest you're good, if they are crooked then

It will all be worth it in the end, and with your email correspondence and money transfer any reasonably priced lawyer will get you what you paid for and they will be on the hook for those legal fees as well, no way they are messing around dude! This is was too easy to track down.

I do love the car, sorry if I knocked the auto, I have one too and have absolutely zero desire to have the manual over the DSG, it is such a good product when coupled with a powerful motor. I was just eluding to the point that the car is so analog that it deserves the manual trans to offer the full spectrum for enthusiast driving and was thinking about resale. However, now that I know that it might stay with you or for a longer while I appreciate the auto option.
