So, after all the hassles of BMW replacing the engine, money, pleasant smiles etc you gave back or traded in the 335i and you're now getting an '07 IS350?!

I don't want to keep explaining this on every forum I am on but 1 last time. It blew up, I wanted different car, they said no we fix it, I said **** that, they got me a loaner it was a dodge??, I said no dice so they gave me cash instead of the loaner , then I decided to take a 328i and some cash instead. My parents liked the 328i and wanted to buy it from me, so I decided to go back to the dealership and order another 335i, they ****ed up the order, and tried telling me it was my fault, I decided then to walk, I was going to grab an Audi S4 but the one came in with no moon /sunroof and being in the terrible mood I was already in I walked from that deal as well. I then took a few months just rolled my IS350 and decided it is deffinately the car for me, and since I am attempting to make it a bit off a show car I don't want to use it for daily driving so I just ponied up and bought another IS350. I am happy, now my wife has her dream car, and I get to have mine daily either in the 06, or adverse weather times in the 07.

krookid, didn't mean to hassle you, but I don't frequent the BMW forums. Good to see you're pleased with your decisions.

I'm surprised you didn't just move your mods over to the '07, and make it the show car.

I thought about it, but the 06 has black leather, and the 07 is sterling, so alot of the custom stuff would have to be redone completely, well basically I would need to get either new screens for the 06 anyways to fill the headrest holes, or new headrests, I also have the whole interior dyno matted and that was neither fun or easy so I decided against it.

Yeah man its all good, sorry about that, I still honestly get 50+ private messages from all the other forums I am on about this daily so it just sometimes gets to me. I know now if something like this ever happens to me again, I will just keep my mouth shut.

How noticeable is the Dynomat and how much weight did it add? I'm becoming more of a quiet freak than ever before since I started driving my Supra more frequently. I don't think there's anything short of a real racecar as noisy on the inside as a Supra on Tein HA's.

I did Dynomat on my '91 Integra for audio performance. It did seem to help, but I didn't notice much difference with road noise.
