B’ and I are good bmw friends ,we met through bmw’s and have always kicked it working on them for quite a while now ,he is one very talented guy and yes the two pics are from his garage ,he asked me to dig them up some time ago

That’s awsOme!
nice work..

Lmao hahaahhaha I’ve been waiting for someone to ask ! ...so I have had numerous bmw’s over time 20+, so parts have accumulated , when I’m bored I think outside the box some ..That there is a bmw e34 headlight lense just the curved glass projector taken out of the headlight itself with a bmw logo fit inside of it ! I thought was pretty cool hanging on my garage wall for years and figured hey what the heck it fits midas well make it work.anyway here are some more older pics of past cars and past shop time .and yea that’s a 40’ ladder from when I did construction lmao better than any truck!

So I’m actually impressed with the inlet system other than the gawdy look for wich i managed to figure something out with but I think I’ve come up with a better routing plan anyway!!!, I’ve been contemplating just getting a larger but yet shorter/not as wide radiator and condenser so I can have an entire or half the right side kidney grill as my air inlet so its almost a straight shot to the snails ..get me 3-4” to work with and I can fab something up in no time ,then if I go big single turbo I can still use the same routing as well 💭 I’ll be pondering this and cost of coarse .Something fun to do I ges ,in the mean time I’m working on putting my new condenser in today !
-
With some finagling I was able to make this one work for now ..I think I mite end up changing it again cause I was in a hurry like usual but it’s a start and my first mock up so will see results ..onto getting my dang a/c condenser out so I can replace that now..so on my way to get my condenser I stopped at the stealer to get a couple orings for the lines to condenser, 12$ for 2 orings and a plastic fill cap wich was less than the rings themselves..is why I could never actually afford to buy a brand new car but dam anyway..,Well here’s a few more pics of the first ‘mockup and a couple pics from the dealer that caught my attention driving out

Yea I used to do construction for years as a sub then work on car/bmws for side jobs and fun after ...untill I realized it was actually more enjoyable to me working on cars then I gave that all up and picked up a job with a local bmw friend at a transmission shop ,now I work on and take care of some of the rarest and most sought after cars ever made😂🤯😳 not just Ferrari’s ..
well I stayed up last nite to start making my colder air relocation inlets even tho the ones from mmp are cute and all I still prefer them boxed off of colder air so this is what I came up with so far I think it will work ,I’ll have to still notch out the front pipe to turbo to connect to the other pipe basically like a Ypipe inside the bay and yea I decide to trash out some plastics on the very front wich were kindof just in the way for me ,tho I’ll still have to make the fender liner itself fit properly ..should be almost plug and play when I’m done !
-
So again I had time to tear into the car a little bit been running very well and I’m sooper impressed with everything so far unfortunately tho my gDanm a/c has a leak now between the condenser somewhere and maybe the lines idk excactly yet so I’m tearing into that I went ahead and ordered a new condenser/w/dryer almost positive it’s cracked rite there...,along the way I also decided it’s a perfect time to start modifiying a custom cold air inlet system out if some other pipes I’ve been saving for a project just like this one,very excited! ,once I mark it,cut it all up and route it, I have a buddy from work who has very good skills in metal I plan to have him finish up along with the resonator delete to x/pipe conversion with mandrel bent downpipes ...I’ll keep ya posted,can’t wait 😆

18” and I don’t think bmw made a 19” mPar.,these are actually 4 front e38 mPars,I’m working on purchasing new tires for the rears wich are a little wider, currently running 225/40 and will have 265/35’s on the rear once finished with wheels and tires arrive
-
Well heck yea I work next to or with him every day ! He is one good guy to work with and very good at what he does ..I try to get involved in just about everything there as much as possible so I have a wide range of skills to use
well..keep posted on the next projects soon to be and thanks for 👀 looking ..

Motion Products Inc/Restoration ...a well known Ferrari restoration shop in the prancing horse world ,yea I wake up and play with some of the worlds most sought after Ferrari’s ever made ,and vintage European cars including some oddballs we have never heard of ,we do everything there ,some of these cars have thousands and thousands of time put into them to bring them back to original time where you can’t just make a call and find a part ,it doesn’t exist .,anywhere from the queen of England car to your local business mans boy toy..we take care of these cars very well ,.I love my job, I don’t want to brag much but keeps my love/hate relationship with bmw’s alive and well that’s fsur .!
I’m not allowed to to take pictures at work,so I’ll share some from the show we semi trailered 13 Ferrari’s to .most these cars the general public would never see ,they rarely move let alone be driven and keep stored away and hidden
enjoy enjoy 🤮🤑🤯😳

Ferrari mechanic for a living I’d have to say this challenge took me longer with bloodier hands than a full service on a f355! ,lmao,pita...so again getting a weekend to my own projects so I’ve decided to start gathering parts over the last month,still currently awaiting downpipes to show up ,the list’ was starting with the Schwaben scan tool from turner on sale wich I like and suggest.., chargepipe, relocation inlets,catless downpipes 3”,oil filter housing gasket again ..with intake ports walnut blasted and new gaskets,spark plugs and coils packs , new serpentine and tensioner along with rear subframe bushings inserts for a start, tho the relocation inlets set me back alone that project took over ten hours the rear turbo inlet was such an enormous pain the the ****,it took me under car 20+ times without a lift ,a 30” crowbar from top pushing down and someone wiggling from top back and forth with the stock downpipes in the way it is sooper tite ,I’d say half the time was on the rear turbo inlet getting aligned now I can finally get to the rest of the Jazz with ease now all that plastic crap out of the way ...,I was really hoping to install downpipes since I had the entire weekend to get things done but I’ll have to wait. So here are few pics after and I’ll keep ya posted on the rest ..also awaiting xpipe for resonator delete ,then a good buddy from the Ferrari shop is building me a custom air box along with finishing up the exhaust another weekend..pe mod is done so that’s taken care of ,one day at a time ..
Ill toss couple other pics from Cavallino classic for yu Ferrari lovers ...I figured the Ferrari headline is a catch lol
enjoy !

Id say both ..close to cancerous
So I finally had a weekend to get some work done ! I was able to replace my front and rear shocks bilsteins and h&r sport springs and well as experiment a color combo for my calipers before I have them powdercoated ,put my door panels back on and also stripped 2 of my mpars of the clear carefully using aircraft remover to give them a more raw look then after that stripped the tint off both front windows so I can finally see now yeeeeay , ....And dang I cannot believe how huge the stock springs are once you take them out lmao no wonder .....so far I'm enjoying the drive little more stiff and not so bouncy' I've yet to really test it out in the roundabouts exc but the car handles amazing and could definitely use wider tires asap tho next thing ya know it's time for winter setup
It's all for fun well hope yu enjoy and
? Can you name that vehicle behind the tint I'm holding up ......it's like looking through black paper lmao 6%light

I've been wanting to give my car some tuning and stance lately .a 2010 335i so before I get tuning I wanted to pick up some type of code scanner/reader capable of resetting codes exc ..in the meantime my footwell module decided to go haywire and the stealer says 499 for a new one and a few hours of time for another 450 so I'm looking at 1000$ in the end.but I will have back my blinkers,angel eyes,door handle lights,dash lights,dome lights,reverse lights,liscense plate lights and my windows don't work using driver door switch and also mirrors don't work ...dam that's ALOT all off one module I'm sure I forgot something..I do recall joking about these issues on e46 e39's generally as the EEEEEWS lmao, as to say move the visor and the steering wheel moves up or down won't forget them days ever lol...any suggestions on a new footwell module or someone to code them in the fox valley area let me know thanks and yea I'd rather be purchasing shocks springs or making hp.

Finally got my mpars back again! I previously sold them in need of money come to find out the guy sold the car and kept the wheels so I had first dibs ..he sold them back to me 100$ more with tires even tho there not the correct size just glad to see the wheels themselves so time for a test fit ..by the way I started with a pair of e38 front wheels then slowly found and bought two more and one rear ..still in need of one more rear e38 mpar 18"x9.5 for a square and staggered set up eventually with 4@225or235/40 with a pair of 265/35 rears..,front are 18x8 et13 rear et25 but currently running the square setup with 215/35 while I get my winter setup mounted then it'll be time to lower it some in the meantime,time to shred some rubber. hahahahaaa.....

I wasn't speeding but next time he mite get a run for with my money.They got nothing better to do than to pull you over for excessive tint...,Really that's what your worried about ,my tint? ...wow, I just don't understand the real duty of a police officer these days I ges ...when they know dam well I can see out the windows or I wouldn't be driving the car, any opinions on what I should do? Just leave them or try a lighter color or no tint ..any suggestions thanks
cost me 10$ no insurance card with me..
Next time I better roll my windows down quickly as I spot one ,continue driving like I can't see him cause my windows are tinted or just punch it lmao

I don't use eBay or Facebook and I'd never chop the springs on a bmw but great advice..Ive decided to make a list to start my pile now that major service has been gone thru
lsd is top priority..it'll end up being last im sure the way things go around here lately, im leaning towards h&r springs for a start,then getting mhd tune,upgrade charge pipe,bov,intercooler,custom made inlets /outlets,downpipes,muffler baffles gutted, should be a ton of good fun on stock turbos, sure there's other things along the way like some carbon fiber to the outside exterior work and wheels I'm sooper excited tho family and work take up most my time so getting around to making it all happen without the wifee choking me would be luck!
the pics above were all taking in Neenah using an iPhone
..thought I'd share a handfull of some old pics not all of them tho.. and the newest of coarse.
Thanks enjoy!
