Ezeedee's Deployment Build

I did the SSK and a TWM knob at the same time, so i dont know how much of this is the SSK, and how much is the knob. There might be a tiny bit less play while in gear, and the shifter seems a little better connected to the transmission. The knob is so heavy, that it falls into the next gear with almost no effort. Right after i did it, i pulled into a parking spot, and slapped the shifter to get it out of first, and it fell into second. I didnt notice, and stalled when i took my foot off the clutch. It is also a lot easier to get into reverse.

I havent run the meth yet, ive been having tire fitment, hpfp, alignment, etc... issues. the hpfp is getting replaced hopefully this week. I just have a couple of last minute things to do.

I have to weld longer studs onto my vorshlag camber plates, they are too short for the M3 strut tower bar, i can only catch 1 or 2 threads on the nuts.

I still have to put the M3 sway bar on, and find someone to install my subframe bushings. I will check the torque on all the suspension stuff i installed when i put the sway bar on.

I have to rig some brake sensors to get the yellow BRAKE light off my dash.

I still have to get my fenders rolled.

One of my new tires was losing air, it was a bad seal on the valve stem, got that fixed already.

Luckily, my buddy is tdy right now, so i have a car to drive while my car is getting fixed. Depending on how long it takes to get the hpfp replaced, i hope to have everything except the subframe bushings done by next weekend.

I'll tell them I'm the guy trading for your new LCIs, I don't think they'll have an issue....

haha, i might have to start sleeping in their parking lot!

63-21-2-225-282 thats the part number i ordered. they had them in 2 days. I ordered some other stuff at the same time, so i am not 100% on the price, but it was like 200-210 euro. its still 100 euro cheaper than schmiedmann.

Are they on the car already? If so, I might try to swing by there today and have a look.

yeah, they are. Its on the right side of the parking lot as you look at the building. silver 17's in the back, blue 18's on the front. Just a disclaimer, they look way better when they are lit. I left the local meet up the other night, and 3 people complimented me on my lights on my way home

Off topic, there was a X1 on the lot with BBS CH's (i think) and i asked a dude there about them. He said in germany, you can order the car with aftermarket wheels!

Sweet, I'll keep an eye out then. I mostly drive with the parking lights on anyhow, so the tails will be lit up. I just want the blackline LCIs really, I think it will set off the whole car given it's style currently.

Might need to keep an eye out for wrecked X1's with those wheels....

lol, maybe. It was brand new, still had the plastic all over the inside. I guess that guy didnt know what he was talking about.

[iNAN3 SOLDi3R]

speaking of junk yards... does anybody know of one around the KTown area? My buddy needs a couple small items for his A6. Possibly even the updated headlights with LEDs..

I am 100% sure! You also cant buy the Performance Wheels (at the start) right from the Factory! You ordered your Car with the Factory Wheels, order some PP269 Wheels and the Dealer switch those.
BMW got nothing to do with 3rd Party Brands ... if they would, they would do the Warranty Stuff for BBS etc. .

[chachacha28]

Just got a phone call that my car is done! going to pick it up any minute. Im so stoked!

[Elsabor67]

So when do we get to see some pics? Also, do you know anyone that works with metal that can fabricate something?

[chachacha28]

here are some recent pics. I'll do a full shoot eventually.

[smellthebeans]

[evolution80]

car looks good! would have been cool to see it in person - too bad it was not ready for the stelvio trip!

[Elsabor67]

Awesome......That blue is very eye catching.

[135junky]

Wow! That looks real good.

[Mr Kleen]

It's almost Kentucky blue. I approve.

I think VMR really missed an opportunity by not getting my new wheels here in time for the Stelvio trip.

[chachacha28]

If anyone wants to see them in person, I'll be at the k-town meet up (park and ride) tomorrow night.

[chachacha28]

Just realized that i have 1 meter of tire. kinda cool.
