New to forum... odd question

Just picked up my 2011 G37 sedan after a BMW buyback (very economical if you can pull it off). Really liking the new ride so far, and I've been silently viewing the board for a bit.

OBSERVATION - This board is way cooler than the M3 board... Those guys are a bunch of douchebags!

QUESTION #1 - What is ? I can stop looking at it while I'm writing.

QUESTION #2 - I just washed my car the other night and then parked it, and after I drove it last night there was steam coming out of the front of the car. I assume it was just post-wash evaporation, but it almost looked like the car was overheating. Is this normal?

Glad to be on the board.

John

It's a Japaenese character. He's called Domo. Google him too.

Welcome! There are plenty of douche bags on here too but the ratio is probably lower than on the Bimmer forums. And yeah coming from a Euro car you wouldnt know Domo. Its jdm from here on out.....Learn it, live it, love it.

Welcome to the forum John. It's good to know that you find fewer douchebags here than where you came from. I thought all the cool kids were gone form here, good to know that there's still some around.

Engine noise -> 3 visits to shop -> proposed crank replacement -> money back. It was a fun car, but I recently knocked up my gf, so it became very impractical.
