Pretty epic day! Short drive because of the endless straights and awesome feel that my 135i has! I had couple nasty rock hits, but that's just the way the game goes.

Appreciate the info, I don't have instagram. Do you have a contact email you could PM me?

AZ1 · 03-07-2020, 01:48 PM

I used the tow hitch today! Park Ranger was happy to pull me out.

I had a set of black ones off eBay. I didn’t like how they looked from the side. If they did a better job lining up with the A-pillar they’d be a great looking option.

Maybe they were really designed for the E9x.

JM98 · 03-07-2020, 08:18 PM

1 Stage Paint Correction and M-Style Mirror Caps to get ready for No Fly Zone today in Gila Bend. Car ran consistent 145MPH's all day.

Interestingly enough, the brakes are what I found lacking. Even with ceramic pads and new rotors in the last 5k miles, I was experiencing significant fade in 82* heat. As the day wore on I noticed a bit of chatter in the pads and bluing on the rotors, Ill have to take a closer look at them later this week.

Anything is better than the OEM LCI Dumboears.

They look so out of place. Pre LCI is much better

Finally installed a rear arb I had sitting around forever. My car was originally not a sport package so had no arb.

It came off of an E90 - slightly thicker than the stock E82 coupe bar. I can feel an improvement in handling. Not a night and day difference, but nice.

Thanks a bunch to chris_flies for the tips and advice.

Ha! Just did some gun range cleanup and tried to get closer the destination.

Someone tried the off-road trax too but that didn't work out haha

nieves.e82 · 03-10-2020, 07:53 PM

Finally installed my wheel made by projectcarbon.uk

bobowar135 · 03-11-2020, 06:15 AM

Finally recieved my interior trim piping in the mail. Did a few quick small sections after work last night. First impressions aren't good. The material is a clear colour so my black interior makes it look very dull, plus some sections won't stay in place. I don't fancy putting bits of adhesive tape or glue all over my interior so the jury is out on this one. I'll have a proper go at it on my day off tomorrow.
