Loooove the quarter flares on those. I'm trying to bring some of that feeling to mine. I found an M4 kit I liked a lot that has very pronounced rear arches.

Looks like your passenger side headlight needs some attention.

And this site, https://www.extremecustoms.com/produ...item_id=133053
is claiming the load rating is 1,518#. That's in my acceptable range.


And when I look on your site at the silver I get the same info (minus weight), https://www.atdwheels.com/wheels/adv...p/style/454053

There is absolutely a data confusion going on. I'm going to trust TR though, simply because if they are not I can drop them back off at my local warehouse.

Warmer weather and sunshine got me motivated!

It got me motivated, too! (No pics because I'm terrible)

I put together this alignment tool for anyone who want to do their own alignments. Includes mm-inch converter, angle calculators, space to track target and final specs, total toe calculator, and thrust angle calculator. There's a PDF file with a guide that illustrates the process, and both an Excel file, and a Google Sheets file to use for your purposes (you can't modify unless you download the files).

I'll also add this to my DIY alignment thread.

I finally got around to doing my pads/rotors on all corners, so thanks to all the forum how-tos. Man, those bolts holding on the calipers really take some muscle to get off! I went with EBC Yellowstuff and OEM Zimmerman rotors this time around.

FYI, for those interested, the one-piece Zimmerman front rotors were about 3 lbs. heavier than the worn 2-piece (steel/aluminum) front rotors that came on the car. I didn't weigh the rears, but both are one-piece (steel) and look identical, so I'm guessing they weight about the same.

Any more photos of the full car with the wing? and maybe a link

I finally got my ARC 8 wheels mounted and changed my oil.

Also installed an M3 front swaybar. My car has the M Suspension package, and I'm pretty happy with the ride height. So I figured that and some solid subframe mounts later will keep me happy.

Tomorrow will be plugs and coils.

Strangely the add says it has a moon roof but the pictures clearly show it's a slick top.

They are coming!!! By the time I got home to put the wheels on, we had a huge T-Storm. I waited for awhile and it broke right before sunset. So I was putting the wheels on pretty late!

Weird it does say moon roof and slick top "Very hard to find Alpine White on Coral Red 128i M-Sport Six Speed Manual Slicktop (Sunroof Delete option)"

Good! 'Cause we need them to ogle at!

Slicktop headliner should be coming home today (just in time for the meet-up tomorrow), and I'll be taking out the 1.1 degrees of toe-in on the rear end (holy lazy alignment job, batman!). Interior is cleaned-up, QuickFit Pro harness is in, the constant rain yesterday washed all the pesky pollen off of the car...I'm ready to tear up some back roads!

This will have to work until I get some better ones! They are anthracite....but look black.

I also kept the stock BMW center caps!

1M replica quarter flares came in today these things are STURDY. I think we're gonna cut into the car and have these fitted up Tuesday night then the molding will start! Very excited. Here's some pics with them just taped up to the car and one on Jay's car (guy who makes them)
