Yes! And while that would look uniform, I love/ prefer the racing/ rally feel of the ///M blue and I wouldn't change it for anything! Including VO! The blue has a nice retro sort of touch IMO... I am also a whore for Laguna Seca Blue!

Very nice but you should lower this car urgent!

IMO gold/bronze painted rims would look tight with your yellow headlights.

I must admit that adding the yellow wrap to the lights has really taken away how good your OSS modded lights looked, a backward step IMHO #13, sorry. (What I'm saying is the car looked killer before the yellow addition, not so now)

Any feedback is better than none I suppose But my headlights are still the same! They just have something temporary there, and in no means will this be permanent! I just peel it off when I am tired of it! If you recall, the ALMS had their race @ Sebring this past Saturday. Although I did not make it to the event, I watched on the tube and was certainly inspired by the GT2 class cars. A little inspiration from this guy here as well:

My car shutdown in a puddle over the weekend still waiting to here if its officially hydro locked or not. Insurance is covering regardless, just sucks. Plus, I have performance parts on the way which hurts a little more!

Lesson learned: Do not take car out in unfamiliar territory on a stormy day! Especially if modded. If this happened modded insurance might not cover and blame after market parts, although my car just simply shut off in an ankle to shin deep puddle(on a single lane on ramp)! Taking in the good, no one was hurt and I am very fortunate to have learned this lesson before the mods were on! It is just a wrong place, wrong time situation. I sincerely hope no one has to go through this! - Ridge

Thanks so much ! Update on hydro-lock! I am getting new engine and turbos. No salvaged title! The modding will continue! I plan on modding before I get my car back so the engine will be tuned and modified the next time I am in it I am told I will have it by next week!

Mods to come!
-Forge FMIC
-Forge Diverter Valves
-BMS Charge Pipe
-ESS Stage 1+ Tune

Future Pods:
Macht Schnell Ashtray Gauge Panel
-http://parts.ind-distribution.com/product/Macht%20Schnell%5E735.php

I have no idea what three Stack gauges I will use... anyone know what the musts are that should measured?

** The idea of losing this car, like it actually hitting me is something I never wish to experience again! I have never felt such a bond with a vehicle before! Thank you BMW for giving me this car/ experience

Wow! Sorry to hear about what happened but I'm glad it turned out OK for you in the end. Can't beat a new motor, haha. Regarding your future mods, I would skip the ESS tune and look into COBB. It's just much more versatile. Pre-loaded onto the device, they have OTS maps specifically made for a cars level of modifications, and you can change them at any time as you add more bolt ons (downpipes in your case). When you start logging engine data, change maps, reading trouble codes, or contacting a protuner to maximize your car's power or to whatever fits your needs, you will be much happier.

Also, just a thought about the FMIC intercooler. I'm not sure if you purchased the Forge unit yet (which is a nice intercooler) but you may want to look into an option that has a bit more efficient IAT supression for the temperatures we see here in S FL. I personally run the Helix FMIC and highly reccomend it. There was no cutting involved, it replaces the lower plastic charge piping which can break (I don't believe Forge does) and it's considered by many to be the best FMIC just based on it's ability to supress IAT's with minimal pressure drop. Good luck man, your car looks amazing! Love the OSS headlights more than anything else, they really make the car stand out. Hope to see you at a meet one day
