That hood bump makes it look like there's something mean under there. lol

I think to most in the road there is. And eventually there really will be haha

Installed a set of PR coils in my buddies car. My set is still in the box and will be installed in the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, I agree that a stock N54/N55 is faster than most cars out there. A tuned one even better. Guess I should've said the hood bump makes it look seriously mean, like maybe a supercharged S65 (or something) under the hood. You never know...

Quick canyon run, barely made it to the top before the sun was completely gone lol

Nice bulge. Lol!!

Btw is that another 1er in the driveway??

Oakland1 · 12-30-2018, 10:15 PM

New "legacy" vintage plates and FINALLY installed my performance exhaust. Love the PE. Car growls properly now (and I swear I can feel a little HP boost but maybe it's just placebo effect).

What does the plate mean? Thought you'd ask.

So, I got the car on the 1 year anniversary of a major life event as a celebration and gift to myself (haha, yes). It is a 2008, so "year 1 of the 1".

1 year anniversary = 1YR

1st year of the 1 = 1YR1

1YR1YR1

No way that's another 1er. Our shoulder line is above the door handle, for one thing.

It took me a year to get the my black CA plate. It is hard to come up with a plate name, but you did pretty good.

Did you get the PE with PPK or just on it's own?

I just got my CA vintage plates and it's EINER....the wife says it sounds too much like WIENEr...

That was an E92 328i at the sellers house. Hes got a 135is as well. My roommate is about to get into an E88 135i so we'll have a couple of those in our driveway

low135 · 12-31-2018, 09:11 AM

I found a new color vinyl that I want really bad over Signal Green. Only catch is that it's a very exclusive limited edition color from a German company. Their site says only 50 rolls will be sold in Europe entirely. I'm trying to find out now how much and if it's even possible for me to get it in the states. It comes with a serialized trophy lol

How about posting a pic of the color? Even if you can't get it, would like to see anyway.

Working on finding out the cost to it. Could be pretty ridiculous lol I love that there's a serialized trophy with it though

HyeWarrior · 12-31-2018, 12:42 PM

Omg that green...

Exactly what I would've wanted for my 1 in a few years when it's a project toy

Thanks! We'll see. They may be asking some absurd amount. If they are, I'll either stick to Signal or find something similar. I keep thinking I may not wanna do Signal but we'll see

I'm the same way with friends. There's a "dumdum list" on my phone with car expenses I have planned. It's exactly as the name implies

iminhell1 · 12-31-2018, 01:13 PM

I'd imagine they do an exclusive to drive the cost up.
Not worth it IMO. What if you F up the bumper again? You'll have to either live with it looking like poo or pull the whole thing and go a different color; money down the tube.
And no one but those in the know will have any idea about it. To the average person it's just green (me).

If it's a 'I want to be one of a kind' mindset, just do a dip. You can do virtually anything your mind can think of now days.

Agreed. That’s a wonderful color, but I’d be nervous if I needed a fix.

I’m personally a bit tired of companies, whether it be shoes, watches, cars or now wraps, releasing limited editions to drum up a frenzy. I’m to the point where, if it’s a limited edition, it makes me not want it.

swagon · 12-31-2018, 02:13 PM

Don't post much here anymore but thought I'd drop in and wish you all Happy New Year.

Also, did celebratory donuts to end this year on a positive note.
