Thanks Kevin. Can't wait to get these suckers on. RFTs are starting to drive me crazy, they don't belong on a BMW.

You'll sing a different tune when you've got a flat on the side of I-90...

I once had a flat with my old car, not exactly fun. Then again, I have AAA.

I'm thinking of picking up the E60 spare kit from Tischer.

Yeah what have you guys been up to?

My BMW Performance Style 269 wheels and Hankook tires arrived today
My living room is now a car parts shop (my stock exhaust is sitting on the floor)

I got Hankook V12s ... 235/35/19 front, 265/30/19 rear. New Beru TPMS and some RAD wheel locks.

$$$$$$$$$$

But should look beastly .... getting them installed in about a week and a half.

I got my Lux H8 V3 today and I just finished installing them!!!

I love the results

I have been spending a lot of time researching Lux H8 V3 and I finally took the plunge!

I would like to post pictures but I took some and they don't do it justice to how good they look!!!!

They look very similar to E92/93 LCI headlights along with new 5 series headlights!

They are not cheap $255 shipped to my door but I think the result is worth it!!!

Now on to ceramic window tints and clear bra

eventually I would like to do a CDV, BMW Performance Intake(or maybe euro one) and BMW Performance exhaust!

Sweet.

Euro box is more economical $$ wise, BMW Performance Intake looks cool but is a very expensive way to get but a few HP.
BMW Performance Exhaust is worth every penny.

Both are more for audible pleasure than performance...

The BMW intake is just a higher grade and more restrictive filter with a bit more engine bay tidyness. If you see how much crap the stock filter box keeps out over aftermarket filters, you'd be shocked. Did an experiment on my z some time ago. Results were surprising.

Sweetness, its about time - pics or it didn't happen Nic. See if you can have Venture Shield film installed..

I had a customer prepped for a MB show over the weekend - he took 2nd place to an S-class....

The car was perfect but had a ding/scuff that is a repaint issue down to bumper plastic and some @$$hat dinged the daylights out of one of his doors which I am sure were probably his only point deductions ..

You're killin me Kevin

These guys aren't opening up their heads and getting cams, porting, and valve jobs... They do alleviate some breathing restriction but the performance can't be more than 15hp at the wheels... Nothing you're gonna feel.

Hey guys,
I'm giving you lots of warning this time, so you should come out! I'm probably (still not positive) going to go to the Autocross at Seneca on the 23rd of July. http://www.cny-scca.com/solo/events.php#seneca_gp information is available there, and you need to pre register. If you don't you can still go, you just may not be able to enter if there are already a lot of people.
