He probably went up to ICS and hasn't gotten out of the car long enough for an update!

Bimmerfest happened this past weekend and Nick G and Jim Conforti both attended this big event. Conforti made the announcement of his product to be coming out soon the Shark Edit Tool. http://www.bonnevillemotorwerks.com/...t/SharkEDT.pdf Anyway I ask George about Nick's timing to finish the tune and I was told he was going to hang out in California for around 10 days tunning peoples cars in that part of the world. So I guess sometime two weeks or so from now Nick will make his way to ICS Performance to do the real tune on my car, I hope. That gives George time to make sure it is all buttoned up before Nick arrives.A few pieces had to be powder coated , a few dents to attend to , stereo installed , the gauge pod constructed, I copied the one that Bill ( Shawdowman) made for Dave's car ( Thanks to Dave for the pictures ), the car has to be corner balanced and I guess go over all the connections to just make sure that everything is tight. That is where it stands now. I have rented another climate controlled space to keep the car in until I finish my garage , which has been delayed a bit as I have instead am installing a better security system as I have been having problems with a neighbor as of late. So a 4 video camera setup that can run a month of information on a DVD that I can access on my blackberry ( I love new technology), along with my existing alarm , fire , heat , motion detectors , window mylar that has been there forever.We live in the woods.I am in the process of securing the land behind me in the second photo as there is going to be a development built there sooner than later and I will have a better way to enter my property and close off the yucky neighbors completely.I know this is more than you needed to hear I am just venting.... Anyway hopefully by the week of the 18th I will have a tuned car. Thanks for the total encouragement from you guys on this very , very long project of mine... My Itty Bitty house and Garage,which is larger than the house.

It will end up being something like 22 acres , I already own about 15 0r so , and then I will have to buy a lot in the new neighborhood to connect to my property so I can relocate the way you enter my domain.The builder of the neighborhood is cool with this which is great.
