Alen E90 · 01-27-2014, 09:11 PM

very nice build thread Dan, you've done an awesome job modding your E90 and i've always been a fan of your car. thanks for sharing your build with us and i cant wait to see what else you've got planned for this beauty!

Overspooled · 01-27-2014, 09:32 PM

well done

BM91 · 01-27-2014, 09:51 PM

I lol'd at each random photo (especially the last one). I cringe wishing I had the sports package everytime I see your interior..

ihc95 · 01-27-2014, 09:53 PM

Clean as hell!

Jrmend8 · 01-27-2014, 10:04 PM

Still have the original interior trim when you switched to the brushed aluminum?

mashimarho · 01-27-2014, 10:22 PM

Looks great Dan!

Game · 01-27-2014, 10:25 PM

Good looking E90 Dan. Bring it out to some meets this year!

IKonic LA · 01-27-2014, 10:36 PM

Its come a long way, nice job!

iBoost · 01-27-2014, 11:00 PM

Nice build!

SneakyDeeky · 01-27-2014, 11:18 PM

Golf clap.

Route 16 · 01-27-2014, 11:19 PM

Cool

Are your rear fenders shaved? I'm wondering if I can get away with a 275 in the rear, I have 219's hiding in my backyard.

thanks, dawg. i threw a few easter egg randomness hoping that someone would notice, lol. having ZSP is nice and i'm glad my steering wheel didn't come with the silver/brushed aluminum accents. you can always upgrade to a ZSP or M3 steering wheel!!

yup, still have the walnut trim in my lower living room still wrapped in brushed titanium vinyl. the driver's piece is cracked and needs to be replaced though.

no, but i do plan on getting the rear fenders rolled in the spring. you may be able to fit 275's depending on the sidewall and tire brand.

miketakkk · 01-27-2014, 11:54 PM

amazing job thus far! what new stuff do you have planned for 2014-2015?

Is the walnut trim damaged from the vinyl wrap? Was looking for walnut trim for my e92.

kingofthedemo · 01-28-2014, 12:25 AM

Nice build thread man! I like the humor that you included, especially the period stain pic, laughing as I write that hahah...

Also awesome interior!

thanks, dude! i've got a lot of stuff i'd like to do and probably 90% of them won't happen since i just got married

it was damaged when i tried prying it off the door the first time before the wrap. didn't realize it cracked in half until i took it off the door AFTER the wrap

i like to keep things fun.

DC_Oldboy · 01-28-2014, 01:21 AM

Well done!

Looks great! And the style 219 wheels looks much better on your car than the LM's.

BTW is that stain on the cheerleader real or PS'd? Lol.

manutdas11 · 01-28-2014, 01:56 AM

Damn.

Hartge · 01-28-2014, 06:26 AM

ken1137 · 01-28-2014, 06:31 AM

Get some OSS or Umnitza's

BlackedOutBimmer · 01-28-2014, 07:11 AM
