Took Big Al on his second Chicago to SoCal roadtrip. Almost 80K miles and still performing flawlessly.

Remember on your way back home that Colorado has installed those new license plate reading cameras that time you between them and issue citations for 10mph over or more. They were looking at reducing that to 6mph but I don't know if they did that. I'll have to find out before my trip in August/September.

Yikes!!! Thanks for the heads up! I stayed a night in Boulder and was shocked to see all the speed and red light cameras. Felt like I was back in Chicago! 💩💩💩

When I worked in Boulder it was a pain as enforcement was high. 35mph speed limits on streets that should be 45mph easily. They were always out enforcing too.

I just over the air updated the Gen 2 V1 detector the other day to be sure I had the latest protection.

GL on your trip!

First time using my MTM foam canon. Cleaned both vehicles in record time!

I need to do this on mine… are you happy with the quality of them? If so, do you have a link?

I just splurged and bought these from the dealership. I've had horrible experiences with cheapo Chinese ones in the past hence went the genuine route. The 40i badge is sourced from the X3 M40i, ditched the ///M badge because I didn't want to be one of those "those" guys. I also deleted the xDrive badge altogether because it's downright ugly.

That’s good to know. How much were they?

Looks great... here is my tanzanite with the black badges.

Black badges 👌

X7Salty · 05-26-2026, 08:07 PM

Black badge should be factory on the M-Sport.

Sounds like a possibility for two vanity license plates
