What did you do to/for your 1er today?

[low135]

Got in my microforged carbon fiber roundels from Steve at NRW. Subtle, which is exactly what I wanted, but enough to know they are custom. I may end up adding matte black to the 'propeller' sections (I know it's not a propeller lol)

So warranties don't like coilovers?

Coilovers, tunes, intakes, charge-pipes, carbon fiber hoods, aftermarket bumpers, vinyl wraps, camber plates, wheels, LUX lights, kitty-less downpipes, custom cutouts........ apparently none of that LOL.

It's ok, the good news is they've covered a buttload of repairs (current tally is around $8k) and my agreement states they have to pay me out still, so a $2500 check is on the way lol.

Anyone know if these m359s are 18s or 19s
Want m359s but don't know if I want to go 18 or 19

I decided to swap in gloss black door handles from a donor car. I’m sure that to some it screams cheap, but I like the way it splits up the slab sides of the car and matches my wing and mirrors. Plus, it’s an option on the Porsche GT3 Touring, so it can’t be that crazy.

struggle with the VC gasket in the freezing cold unheated garage

I think they look like 19's.

But keep in mind that for a no rub, need no work the max rolling diameter you can go with is about 25.6". That's what a 235/35 19 MPSS runs.
But for a matching diameter, 225/265 MPSS, both 25.2".

19's won't leave you with many size choices. Just keep that in mind.

Thanks so do you think I can run m359 19x8.5 19x9.5
And tires 235/35/19 265/35/19 with rolled fenders

Like the black accents with the Cashmere paint. Think it looks pretty good.

Same here....Just the right amount of subtle accents. Car looks great!

Oh...and I installed my Blackline tails yesterday. Pic in the Cosmetic section.

I have a post on here already about reverse lights...needing something brighter as I'm getting older and my eyes aren't what they were.

The Blacklines actually made the light output dimmer, but I figured it would as they are tinted.

Interesting idea; you could backlight those. Wrap two of the propeller sections (it actually is supposed to be a propeller, since BMW used to do a lot of airplane things) to get a complete black-out, and then leave the remaining ones translucent with a small LED backlight.

Those look really cool either way

I see no problem with any of that.

It would be cool if there was a modified car warranty. It'd have to be ridiculously expensive, though, because launches...


Either way, now you have zero fear (not that you had any before, obviously) of taking the car to the next level

I actually read that the propeller thing was a case of mistaken association. They used a plane and the roundel in an ad about speed but never intended for it to represent a propeller. I still call it that, but make sure to mention I know it's not when I'm on BMW pages haha but yeah I tossed around some ideas on doing interesting things with it. gonna see how I like it against the signal green first

I can't wait to see how your car ends-up in a few months. You're doing some really unique things that I've never seen done with a 1'er, and I like unique (even if it's stance-boi lol).
