@grimmelshanks: 1) When you pull out from someone's draft in an E30 you hit a wall of air. It has the same drag coefficient as a UPS truck. With the nose on it… no wall of air. b) $88 III) It either amuses or pisses off most of the BMW club paddock. That is how you know which ones have the weed. *) Easy to spot my car in photos.
