New Year's Resolution for 2011

bunny · 01-01-2011, 04:07 PM

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S M3POST!

I'm surprised I haven't seen a new year's resolutions thread for this year, so I'll start one :] What are your goals and resolutions for this year, both for you and for your M?

For me:
- Start running again (at least 2 times a week)
- Get into work earlier (around 9:15am)
- Continue to have a positive attitude and be a positive influence to others (don't let negative people/things get to me)

For my m3:
- Learn how to drive my M the way it should be driven (gonna sign up for a high performance driving class)
- Mostly mini mods since I can't decide on any of the major mods yet:
-- Gloss black kidney grilles
-- Gloss black fender gills
-- Carbon Fiber hood vents (maybe?)

NYCMCBM3 · 01-01-2011, 04:10 PM

hitting the gym again is my resolution

kaykay · 01-01-2011, 11:25 PM

+1 on the gym

Happy New Years people!

(oh yeah, and to stop running from the cops, damn M3)

NYCMCBM3 · 01-01-2011, 11:39 PM

lol that takes balls, i dont think i could ever run, its always in my head for a spilt sec , but i can never do it

saeedg48 · 01-02-2011, 12:35 AM

even more muscle mass!

z00m · 01-02-2011, 12:00 PM

For me:
1. loyalty to my wife one more year
2. play basketball once a week
3. Stop drinking beer or so - on random days
4. loose some weight
5. keep my friends next to me
6. Try to imagine that i like my work even more

For my m3:
1. new subframe mounts
2. New bearings rear
3. catless front section from supersprint
4. new carbon leather on front add on bumper

TheBry · 01-02-2011, 01:33 PM

Nice idea for a thread... thanks for creating it bunny!

For me:
1. Complete the PSI L7 course with my partner
2. Start the search for second home / rental property
3. Make a more concerted effort to connect with extended family
4. Consistently attend yoga classes <-- more consistently than I did in 2010
5. Add vacation days (Friday / Monday) to weekends for more weekend getaways

For my M3, as I close in on my third year of ownership:
1. Have rims re-finished <-- repairing curb rash
2. Have driver-side door repainted <-- some a@@hole keyed my car a couple of months ago. Scratches are barely visible, but I know they're there.
3. Get windows tinted <-- could use some advice here.
4. Pick up new 2011 BMW NA Map Discs for Nav system

Definitely Huper Optik 40% all around (none on front windshield). Has fantastic heat rejection properties, zero interference w/ radio and electronic frequencies, and the 40%, IMO, looks just about perfect.

I always wanted to go to the BMW M school. Maybe I'll get a chance this year.

Other than that I can't think of any New Year resolutions -- I'm already perfect.

Cheers.

Start my Homeland Security degree and get a sub 9 minute lap time in the e92, closer to 8:15.

Rshane · 01-07-2011, 12:21 AM

This year my New Years resolution is to not kill all the New Years resolutionists who crowd out my gym. It's an easy resolution to keep because I only have to succeed at it for 2-4 weeks, then the gym is good until next January.

klammer · 01-07-2011, 01:23 AM

Change the world

comebackid · 01-07-2011, 08:59 AM

Might take up smoking. Maybe gain about 10-15 pounds.

Gkap · 01-07-2011, 09:01 AM

Me

Eat better
Exercise more
Learn better driving skills

My M

Smoked reflectors (ordered)
Matte black grilles (ordered)
Wider tires (and use Contis on the track?)
TLC (DIY detailing)

Both

Social events, like weekend drives, track days, MFest (?), BimmerFest (?)….

cmk227 · 01-07-2011, 02:43 PM

Me
Exercise more
Be more romantic

might help the sex life with the wife after 9 yrs

Definately agree with Bunny on attending the M course. Need to go to Europe this summer trying to sneek away and do the M course there.

My M
Window Tint!
Carbon Fiber Front Splitter
Carbon Fiber Rear Lip
Matte black grilles (ordered)
I also plan to take her to the day spay more often so she look sexy

Both
More Happy hours with the guys/gals from the Forum and enjoy weekend drive.

bunny · 01-07-2011, 03:16 PM

I was just in McKinney, TX over the holidays! My advice on the romantic resolutions:

- take your wife to the spa more often

or give her massages yourself
- surprise her with a home cooked meal (it's the thought that counts)
- date nights!

valeram · 01-07-2011, 04:05 PM

Go to the gym but will only look around.

Join the BMWCCA events.
