Went for a little drive today looking for a quick photo opp. and for an excuse just to drive. Pics taken just off St. Helena Island, SC.

Absorber · 08-08-2009, 10:43 PM

Beautiful! That's the nicest looking SGM that I think I’ve seen. It almost makes me double think my BSM order. I love those wheels with the body kit. Very nice.

HondaGoneRogue · 08-09-2009, 01:02 AM

Yeah, the car is really clean! I love the performance front on every color but white. Your car looks very tastefully done and not overstated. Great job.

993 911 · 08-09-2009, 01:30 AM

Beautiful! Do you have an aftermarket FMIC? Wondering if they fit behind that bumper.

sootyvrs · 08-09-2009, 04:14 AM

Looking good.

Been looking forward to seeing more pics of the Vorsteiner V-302 which are one of my favourite wheels for the 1er.

I only wished they were in my price range

Nah no aftermarket FMIC yet...part of what is holding me up is the fact that no tuner can tell me if theirs fits with no cutting.....I would prefer a true PnP application if possible. If I was to purchase and not worry about cutting I would probably go with the AA FMIC

escobar929 · 08-09-2009, 07:29 AM

Looks sick! Love that bumper

Eyeman · 08-09-2009, 11:04 AM

Wow, good to finally see some great quality pics of your car!

We've progressed fairly similarly with mods. Had any problems? I have my V1's set lower but probably with similar wheel offsets so I rub a little, even after rolling. I do get a slight click/clunk for my front suspension over lowspeed sharp bumps. I thought it was my strut bar but now I'm not sure. My catless AR dps, stock midpipes and MadDad axleback did cause some drone/vibration at idle, it's barely noticeable now.

I'm probably gonna go with the GIAC tune, later. I just added my name to the VK FMIC groupbuy. Seems easiest to install and best fit, mostly best priced. I'm broke..lol.

I'm sure I'll see you up here in Atlanta someday.

SV Concepts III · 08-09-2009, 11:36 AM

Marc,

Car is looking great, the centercaps really finish off your wheels. Have you seen my new finish? I decided it wasn't fair that we run the exact same setup

the infamous... · 08-09-2009, 06:51 PM

Mad raw!! Looks so sick!

+1 on the wheel selection and BMW performance goodies.

LOL...Yes of course it wasn't fair! Small consolation was I ordered FIRST...LOL...but you guys got the Vorsteiner hood first...damn insiders

.I DID actually see the new finish! To be honest I think the new color better compliments the blue on the car than the previous color did. I really, really wish we could get together and do a East/West photoshoot...Headline could read something like "Seperated at birth" LOL....or maybe "The Wondertwins!"

Hey Eyeman! With the same tire dimensions every thread I have read a person with aftermarket suspension setup has had to do some type of fender modification IF they set the ride height lower than 0.5" or so in the rear....

As far as the VK FMIC is concerned that has been going on for a while with very little in the way of updates so until something more concrete comes along I will wait.

I am not familiar with the GIAC tune, but the Procede is serving me VERY well so far. I have a JB3 and a SSTT lying around somewhere as well....hmmm guess I need to get hot on the forsale forums....

achtungE30 · 08-09-2009, 07:32 PM

Car is looking great. Glad to see you back home safe!
I remember you were stockpiling mods and having a family member take pics of them to hold you over!

100% agree, I should have done the satin black with the first go around. Oh well, lesson learned

Hood goes on next week, getting yours into production soon too

cagekicker · 08-11-2009, 11:43 PM

Very Nice Shots!

adrean8j · 08-12-2009, 10:34 PM
