Pittsburgh BMW Meets

cdmst6 · 04-22-2010, 03:57 PM

When I bought my car, it came with the Beyern 5's. I agree 100% with you you Zimmerman, the mesh is just an awesome looking wheel. A little jealous you got them in black.

Ill post pics up as soon as I get them down, or maybe when we all "hopefully" meet, you can see em there.

I am thinking of getting a BMS Powerbox and was hoping if anyone in the area can help me get it installed.

I see you went with the H&R's. Mine looks kind of like a SAV at the moment with the factory springs so I just recently ordered the eibach pro sport lowering springs. I was deciding between the Bavarian autosport house brand, the H&R, and the eibach. Just wondered what made you go with the H&R vs the others available.

Well, I was really only between H&R and Eibach. From my research it seemed that the H&R's provided a bit of a lower drop and the feel of the road that I was looking for.

That, pricing, availability, opinions of friends, etc...all weighed on my decision, but what it comes down to is they're all pretty similar.

Same school of thought I had, six of one half a dozen of the other depending on who you ask. I was able to get the eibach pro's for $197 shipped versus slightly more for the H&R. I'm somewhat worried about dropping it too much because of my driveway.

Hey what's up guys, I'm Adam and I'm actually in Morgantown WV, but frequently make my way to Pittsburgh. Not a whole lot going on in WV in terms of BMW enthusiasts, so I pretty much stick to the tri-state board for "local" stuff. I'd be down to come up for a meet, especially if it involved some Primanti's.

SpmnE9zero · 04-23-2010, 06:29 AM

Nice to meet you Adam, I love the avatar; too bad they lost in 3rd OT lastnight but hey, were not done yet!

Start off by introducing yourself and where you are located.

My name is Shane and I currently reside in Wexford.
And post pics of your ride!

Shane, what are those red things on your radiator behind the grill?

They are MFD Scoops, they re direct more airflow into the engine bay (Supposedly) I just have them in there for cosmetic reasons. Some people love them others hate them, I like them and I dont care what anyone else thinks about them! hahahhaha
They actually aren't that noticeable when you see it in real life, I enhanced that pic in photobucket so people got the idea of what they were.

montE90 blue · 04-23-2010, 10:21 AM

Thanks man. Yea that was a tough loss, but I'm not worried, we'll close it out tomorrow night!!
