Nice. Now you have to worry about the HPFP. I wanted to go with the 335i but that just made me hesitant to pick it up. And the recall. I have to go in for service for the recall and the air vent tabs that broke off. Hopefully warranty covers the latter. I assume you go to Bimmerfest events?

Finally picked up an iPad. Granted it's only 16gb it's been a long time coming. Hopefully after school is done in a few weeks I'll finish reading my Objective-C/Cocoa book and finish writing an app I've been developing for autistic kids.
My list of devices sits at iPhone 5, Macbook Pro (mid 2012), iMac 27" (late 2012), and iPad 16gb (4th gen). Also running a windows 2008 server that holds all of my data on a spare machine.

Very nice.GP4000s are good tyres too.
I got a new bike for the wheels...

Waiting for my front wheel to get back from some work being done on it, so a different front wheel is fitted at the moment. It came with Giant PSL0 alloy wheels which I'm not using.
Since taking the photo, I've put some carbon bidon cages on it. I'll eventually change that horrid white bar tape for black stuff.
How are you liking the Di2 so far? How's the shifting speed with rapid sequential shifts?
How are you liking that combo? I was thinking of upgrading this from my D90 w/ 18-105 lens. Do miss not having VR?

I'll be honest, it's too early to tell - I'm getting used to the different location of the "buttons" compared to the levers of 105 gearing previously - takes a while to get used to pressing the right one.
Tonight I went on my first proper ride with it, some laps of the local riding track and the industrial estate at night.
It shifts well though - no clanging chains and just about never a skipped shift. The shifts themselves feel very smooth and sure, you know the shift will work each time. It doesn't seem particularly faster, but it does the shift reliably.
The bike seems really fast, but the fit isn't quite right - the saddle feels slightly too high. I'm very aware that this has to be adjusted very carefully, once it is lowered, it can't be raised higher.
I feel it on my left leg, it feels like that leg is slightly over-stretched, and worse, I can't clip in easily enough on that side, where as on my old bike, I've got no troubles at all. It feels like I can't put enough weight on that side to get the cleat to lock in to the pedal quickly.
The calf muscle on my left leg also didn't feel too nice after a while of that - though it didn't give up.
All up, I'm liking the bike - and especially loving the way it seems so compliant over bumps. It's much more comfortable and smooth than my old Trek in that respect, and a good deal faster everywhere else.
Once I've got the fit right, I'll start pushing the speed up.
Try a rare earth magnet on the inside of the pedal bolt - instead of the provided cadence magnet. The Garmin sensor (or Giant Ridesense) should pick up that easily. Then you don't need anything cable tied to the cranks.
Neat looking bike.
I got me some framed posters 2 months ago, and those two are the most valuable ones and i got the "Batman" Promo one for free

I don't think the OP bought one...

Wow, hopefully nobody bought one. You can get a rolex for that much. Maybe even two.
