A couple pics I owe you...

I335 · 07-29-2009, 10:16 PM

A couple of months back I installed a set of KW Street Comforts with H&R sways and I promised a few pics - sorry for the delay... She's not the cleanest (needs a detail desperately) but these shots should give you a feel for the amount of lowering this suspension provides, which is very minimal. I have these adjusted as low as they can go which is only about an inch or so. Living in N.E. this is exactly what I wanted. The ride and handling with this set up is really nice and I can't even imagine how much better it would be with some of the "M" setups some of you guys have. I don't track my car or even drive very aggressively so this setup is just heaven for me - wonderful on the street.

I also included a couple of interior pics - I think I have a fairly rare (even controversial, perhaps) color combination with the Barbera Red exterior, saddle leather, and light poplar. I'm trying to shoot for the "sporty yet classy" theme and I think I'm almost there. Comments certainly welcome...

In addition to the suspension, there are 8 other mods visible in the pics. Can you name them?

And thanks for the kind words everyone!

Craig@SupremePower · 07-29-2009, 11:47 PM

looks great..

Tallest · 07-30-2009, 12:08 AM

car is perfect but personally I find the poplar interior nasty and with brown leather it doesnt match. Brown leather looks great with silvers and blacks. Id' retrim the dash but i fyou like it the way it is, then by all means keep it. I remember the photoshoot you made, this is a sick looking car, barbera matches with those wheels in some very sick way!

m3pare · 07-30-2009, 01:56 AM

very nice!

DrunkOnJ20 · 07-30-2009, 03:01 AM

Looks great.

kadolege · 07-30-2009, 04:20 AM

Love saddle brown seats...

remmib · 07-30-2009, 06:33 AM

That really is a very nice color.

Thanks for the comments...

I was skeptical about the poplar with the saddle at first as well but when I saw it, it appealed to me. Although it may not be evident in the pics, this "light" poplar is actually pretty dark (much darker than the light poplar I had in my X5) so I thought it worked with the saddle pretty well. Piano black was my other choice but I don't think I could have ordered that with the car being in the states. I don't really like the metal trims as they just seem cheaper to me and "colder" than the wood.

And yeah, there's something about a Barbera Red coupe that really works well with the M6 wheels. I think these wheels look more natural on my car than they do on an M6!

Thanks again for the nice comments everyone!

CubanJJ09 · 07-30-2009, 07:43 AM

damns thats a really fucking great color combo. ive never seen it or thought about the brown on brown

MassBimmer · 07-30-2009, 07:48 AM
