I'm here.....
To all my friends here on the board:

Thank you for all your support, thank you for all the nice PM's, for all the kind posts, for all the eMails you sent me.

Thank you for all the very nice words you all said about me.

I honestly didnt realize I was valued that much here on the board as all I do is try to help as much as I can and provide my personal opinion on subjects based on my limited knowledge and limited experience on our beloved beasts.

Thank you also very much for your understanding that I just needed a little time out to myself.
I'm back now.

I will summarize everything in a few words: I made a mistake and I sincerely apologize for the mess I created.

To Gustav, Snowball, Kees, Ard and the rest of the moderators - thank you for accepting my apology and thank you for your understanding.
We're all good.

As we all know, nobody is perfect in life, we all make mistakes and we all need to be understanding and forgiving.

Lets set that aside now and get passed that and lets get back to talking about our favorite subject - our BMW's.

FYI, I am currently working on DIY on how to replace all the stock speakers (except for the subwoofer) on our M6.
Hopefully my DIY will help someone considering to upgrade their stock speaker drivers too.

I am also trying out the mObridge iPod interface as my iPod direct audio input interface to the amp has hiss when volume is cranked up.
I will post my DIY and reviews of the mObridge as soon as I am done.

I also bought a software program so that we can clear our own nuisance fault messages when we want to and save a trip to the dealer.
I will post my reviews of the software once I've tried it long enough.

Next is the replacement of doorsill lights using brighter and different color EL tape.
Whew, lots to do.

Man, never ending mods....I already have guys here blaming me for continued drain on their pockets : )
Oh well, that's why we work hard for right? To support our family and our toys.

Sometimes my wife complains that I dont spend enough time with her.
So I do my best to balance work life, home life, working on my toys and helping others.
Balance is the key to a good and happy life.

I am now fully rested, I am back and will start posting again very soon.

Again, my sincere Thank You to all of you for all the nice things you said about me.

God bless you all.

Dan Loyola

I will not say welcome back because I NEVER felt you were gone. Wise and spirited minds are always present.

Silence is sometimes the best way to handle ugly situations.

Move on.

Kind regards man,

George

Welcome back. You are too modest. You are a very valued member of the Board and a valuable source of DIY information. And a nice guy too.
