Considering you only have an IP address to go on and ISPs would tell them to go fuck themselves, it would be funny to see them try. Probably just for fun to scare off the morons.

So you sign up with a second username and are somehow found out. Given that they likely don't even have useful information as to who you are in your first user account, how the hell do they find you to demand their $15K?

BMW drivers are dicks. It makes me sad, because I love my car. I just don't want to be associated with them. Of all the groups we have out to the track for events, I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a hot stick than deal with the BMW club.

What do you want to know?

And the ones that aren't cocks, call their cars Beemers instead of Bimmers. Douchebags. LOL

The LCD display on this audio system is half-faded (it doesn't look bad in the pic, but in reality it's about half-gone)......, so I was curious whether the screen could be made healthy again, or if a total head unit replacement would be needed

Also wondering if the "Active Steering" option has a higher risk of needing repair compared to the normal steering.

The first question would need to be posed to an end user geek. My guys say you're better off replacing.

The second answer is they have not seen more repairs to active versus non. But, the client base for either are different. Meaning, casual commuting vs track style.
