Thanks and the blue on the configuration looked so much different. Not in a bad way either.

Follow the local tradition

It is common in Thailand to let the famous monk doing the ritual to the new car, to ensure safety.

Those were great pictures, thanks for sharing!

By the way, did the interior blue ambient lights turn on while the monk gave your Z4 his blessing?

Haha, good question. I had no idea the interior lights were on.... perhaps initially I open the hood (to let him write his special magic to the engine and gain 50+ Horse Power ) that triggered the interior lights to turn on.

This monk is already 90 years old and very famous in Thailand. Very thankful to his blessing and feel heart comforting.

Cheers!

That's a good idea, but I afraid he wouldn't be able to get out from the seats as it's so low.

As the matter of fact, part of the ritual is to have the monk blessing inside the car too, but we didn't let him do it for the same consideration.

Helps to know a tuner, works well and easy in any case and you can log to see whats going on. They also are quick to respond to queries and if you need assistance.

I'm jealous. Not only don't I have my car yet, it should show up sometime in January, but Denver is breaking records for the longest run of no snow - 223 days! The record was set in 1882. Meaning that when we finally get snow it is going to be a doozie and my new Z4 is going to be stuck in the garage not getting any break-in miles.
