I might have an Alpina B7 we saw at the mall in shortly for some winter prep. Staying composed...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I just upgraded from an e90 330xi to a e92 335xi. I am looking to lower the car with springs and shocks, Anyone know of a good shop or someone local that can do this for a reasonable price?

[autoaesthetica]

Welcome Preet. What color is the new to you E92?

The first 2 places that immediately come to mind are BlackForest and Innovative

Blackforestmotorsport.com, right near the airport off the 33

Innovativetuning.com, right in Buffalo near Kenmore.

You can tell them whoever you choose that I(Mike) sent you. Or you can blame it on the other guys in the thread like CJ421 or Hasek9339

OMG why is that thing being driven in the winter! The guy has $$$ so go buy a 4x4 "beater" for the winter

[autoaesthetica]

LOL you know its serious when its 2 posts by the same person quoting the same thing.

I will definitely get pics if its him. The client I spoke to today is a definite car person not just random decide to whip an Alpina, and while I can't share what made the connection for me I am pretty sure its him.

Funny thing is, I was strongly recommended to call him on the recommendation of another great customer. As he picked up the phone and I introduced myself he told me that at that moment he was looking at my card. Pretty cool.


Also, not 100% on the winter driven, but who knows.

if the color looks something like this and has a Calspan license plate cover on the rear plate it was the one!

I really love that color!

[autoaesthetica]

That is so gorgeous. Oh and the color I was trying to explain to you was Monte Carlo blue.

If I was to ever custom order an M3 and spend $5,000 to get an individual color that would be the color. Simply amazing!

I love this M3 with the Monte Carlo Blue with the Bamboo leather inside!

I'll tell ya, I don't know if BMW would do an Audi color like Sprint Blue but I have TTS in for correction before storage and oh, my, goodness, does it look good even sitting outside in overcast. I am fingers crossed for Saturday delivery that its sunny because the thing is going to look unbelievable.

I love this color, and I too reallly dig Monte Carlo as well. To be honest though, anything prepped right looks bangin.

I was over on Bimmerfest one of the other Bimmer forums that I frequent and they have an amazing Euro Delivery forum. I just stumbled on a post about someone doing an ED (thats slang for European Delivery..... not the purple pill ) where they just picked up a Alpina B7. What a coincidence!

look at this

Yea hes the man, plus they do a great job mounting and balancing tires. Flawless install of a F430 tire/wheel twice when I took a customers car there for it.

Excellent and fast. I don't even drive European currently and I trust Jason with my tin can.

Are you driving the E92 in winter?

[Hasek9339]

I hope to visit Blackforest for a CDV delete along with the installation of my performance exhaust in the spring..... (or maybe innovative would be better) I have already started the performance exhaust fund! anyone want to contribute.... LOL

I know CJ421(Charles) would!

I have an x5 (e53) also, so the e92 will only come out on certain days (rare).

YES!!!

Two of the best upgrades you can do my friend.

[Preet]

I'm selling a set of wheels they are 18 inch staggered ruff racing wheels, they have TPMS and pirelli nero tires. I have new wheels on order.

There is nothing wrong with the wheels, mint condition! however one of the tires have a slight bubble in the sidewall...the rest of the tires are practically new, not sure how many miles they have, the car only has 12,000 miles (tires prob have under 3k miles)

I am in buffalo, looking for local sale, make offer if interested, the link shows the wheels, if interested i can post pics

http://www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com/ruf...81-wheels.html

[Preet]

Here are pics of the wheels i posted about a couple mins ago, again they are 18 inch staggered, include TPMS.

if interested make an offer.

I know unfortunatly these are the wheels that came with the car, i bought the car about two weeks ago and the wheels are already going...so i guess we feel the same way about chrome rims on german cars hahaha!

the new wheels should be shipped to me by saturday hopefully. (black)
