recently moved to Stuttgart...
I recently moved to the Stuttgart area from the US. This weekend I picked up an ’08 135i. I’m really looking forward to hitting some of the twisty roads in the area. My first projects are to fix the non-functioning convertible roof and what I suspect is some turbo wastegate rattle.

Welcome to the area. Do you work on Base at Panzer? There are lots of nice roads in the area there.

Thanks for the welcome! I've driven by Motorworld and was wondering what it is. In fact, I'm going by it tomorrow to get plates for the 135. Looks like an awesome place!

My car has a BMW Performance exhaust system on it (with cats). Will I get hassled about this when I renew my TÜV? The previous owner did not provide any paperwork for it and it's somewhat loud so I think the inspector will notice it.
On a somewhat related note, is it at all possible to pass inspection with something extreme, like a motorcycle engine in a Smart car? |

I loved living in Stuttgart area (Patch/Vaihingen). Nice area to be in. You will enjoy it. Germans can be a little stoic until you get to know them. Maybe because I am American or not good to look at, but that was my experience. Learning some German goes a long way.

Just moved to Stuttgart and picked up my 228i...having a serious steering issue
I have just moved here in July. Yesterday I picked up my car from the shipping facility. It was beautiful driving home, as always...but this morning when I got in to drive to work at Kelley Barracks, I couldn't steer and its saying "Increased steering effort. Drive moderately. See a car care center." - could really use some words of advice here. Thanks.
