Actually, I had attempted to do some donuts and somehow got stuck in a perpetual circle for weeks on end. Eventually I made it out though. I'm like the guy whose zipper got stuck in the bathroom in Summer School.
Hey! Why the hell it putting a weird oval around my avatar now?! |

How long did it take you to install, and do they provide the plastic tool? Of course, not sure why I'm even thinking about it -- with a convertible top there won't be more than 5 lights... |

They offer a smaller kit for what it's worth, I believe it might be 6 bulbs only. |

Recent photo of my car wearing BMW Performance gear (Grilles, skirts, diffuser, spoiler) and 1M mirrors.

You're running out of BMW performance parts to put on there!!! Only things left are what, performance rotors and perhaps the yellow performance calipers that only owen2001 is sporting. Oh, guess there's the CF trim interior as well. Any more/future plans? You know what I'd suggest of course. =P |

The other thing that is available is the Performance front bumper and the CF splitters, but I prefer the stock M-Sport bumper. I want to do BMW Performance suspension, but I need to get more than a 1/2" drop, so I'm still undecided on that front.

Man, more than a 1/2" drop? I wouldn't go that low, but I'm pretty conservative. I suppose you could always go with something like the ohlins coilovers which are supposed to be great, and relative to how much they cost on other cars and other suspension kits/coilovers on our cars, for like $2100 I guess they're a pretty good deal. The performance suspension though is ohhhh so good. =P You could always get the performance suspension kit and just get different springs to get you whatever ride height you want. I know Harold at HPA always highly recommends koni yellows with swift r spec springs, too. Now someone come wash and detail my car. Much obliged. |

I think for the wheels I'm going to stick with something with a bit of contrast, I don't wanna go completely black-on-black. Just saving up for HREs or something... Install was super easy. Speakers on the doors pop off, then three bolts to undo, one plug and done. Caps came primed, so I had them painted BSM with the side skirts.

The mirrors are definitely on my list. Do they auto fold or did your car not have that option in the first place? I can't seem to find used ones with the auto fold feature. And brand new I think I saw them for $900 for one. Seems like a lot for a mirror. |

I love that shot of your car and the funny thing about that pic is that car in the background makes it look like you have a powerdome hood!
And Worra, hopefully after seeing that, you're convinced that you really don't want to be any lower than THAT. I think the dinan springs make it 0.1" lower than the bmw performance springs, is that right 3002 tii? That dinan springs lower it 0.5" vs 0.4" from the BMW performance springs? I don't think you can go wrong with either. I also wonder if there's any real difference in feel between a car with the BMW PS full kit vs one with the dinan springs instead. I have no idea. |
