White tshirt or "artic silver" for sure... a long sleeve option would be great. I also know of a tshirt guy that can do this and probably get me a deal... just send logo, we can get any number of sizes, on either short or long sleeve, no added cost except for price of shirt. ted

Is there any increase in performance, speed/hp wise, when turning the >ASC+T off? Butt dyno says there is, but logic tells me there might not be. Speed/HP difference -- yes, depending on how hard you drive. The ASC will fondle your brakes and your throttle in response to traction loss. If I'm driving the car hard I will always turn ASC off -- for safety reasons, as well as speed. I had the ASC kick in once at turn 8 (high speed turn) at Thunderhill where the throttle cut out significantly at the turn's apex. The car got loose enough that I've since always remembered to turn the thing off before I go out on the track. I also have better launches with the ASC off. Besides having full control of the throttle (without the ASC regulating it for you), I believe this also has to do with allowing the back tires to spin a few times to heat up before gripping the road and taking off.

It matches the BMW Black M3 hat's...White gets dirty way to fast we currently have white knit team shirts they look good but if you look at them wrong they get dirty. ANd I am tired of the white t shirt look. Silver might be a good color but I am not planning on sun bathing in the shirts so black is not an issue to me. Cost Short sleeve logo on left brest small, and large on the back. 9.98 Short sleeve large logo front only 5.98 Knit shirt with three buttons ans embroidry on front left breast 16.98 Art will cost 40-88 dollars, set up depending on the type of art I have. Shipping per shirt probably 5 bucks if I have to do all the packing and shipping. White is a little cheaper Gray/silver is the same cost. I have a BMW CCA Motorsports knit shirt with the Motorsports colors on it, it looks really nice in black. Gray/silver would be okay but I am tired of white shirts..too plain... Not sure of the minimum numbers payment would have to be here before I even do the project since I don't need to get stuck with a couple hundred dollars worth of shirts.

Too bad everyone isn't a sedan owner, this would totally look awesome on the back of a tshirt: http://www.cilon.com/pictures/ads/e36%20m3%20ad.jpg :D As for the tshirts, it seems maybe a "artic silver" tshirt would be the best medium... right in between the white shirt guys and black shirt guys. Would this work for everyone? Gary, is it possible to print both large and short sleeve tshirts? I do know of a printer that can swap in short and long and doesn't charge more so I'm thinking this might be the case? ted
