You'll be happy with the sottozero.  I've driven on them and sold a ton and have never been told a bad thing about them.  Good buy.

Looking forward to the E30 picnic! 

The old girl just got back from the paint shop after  having the rear valance and side skirts fitted.
Valance is DTM. Expense, terrible fit, horrendous finish, but enough sanding, refining, and a good paint job, it turned out pretty good!  I wish there was more options for the diving board cars.
Side skirts are from a Ford Taurus, trimmed and fitted.  Really happy with the outcome, and super easy.
I also fitted a set of Konig Lace wheels I refinished in a gunmetal metallic paint.  No entirely sold on the look, I think I prefer the BBS wheels a bit more
Overall, I think this exactly how I wanted the car to come together...subtle with a touch of attitude.  See ya at the picnic!

Congrats @suspenceful at dethroning @patsbimmer1 and claiming the title of “Fastest N54 in the World and Wisconsin“!
 
 
You have certainly done more than just a piggyback and FBO to get there. Kudos, would be cool to see single digits.
 

I guess I can FINALLY admit defeat and gracefully pass along my crown.  Congratulations!

date of delivery for the 535 keeps getting pushed back  guess ill keep driving the 528 and putting miles on it

25-40% of businesses on State St won't be returning, they could barely survive coming out of COVID, and now they got smashed to shit and the residents of Madison are cheering this on like it's some great victory for The Movement. It sickens me.
 
Sorry to be crass, but I've about had it with those fucking idiots. Lives are being ruined over an issue everyone was already 100% behind, save for some redneck fucks with no social influence or presence, save for the media doing their best to hype them up and get people riled up.
 
Now that downtown has been trashed, they're blocking roads and disrupting traffic, they're doing what should have been obvious as fuck from the beginning; turning everyone against them. gOoD wOrK bOiS!

You guys can be F10 buddies

Good move. I had a 550i xdrive msport in Colorado for 10 days or so and drove hundreds of miles on it including a canyon run and it was just too heavy and underwhelming.  The difference in power between the N55 and N63 can easily be made up and the N55 does not feel that much slower than the N63 stock for stock.  You made a good choice.

Nice try IRS

I am helping a friend sell his 1999 BMW 328is E46 with a JDM 1JZ GTE non-vvti swap. This e46 is silver over dove grey interior and is in running and driving condition. It was tuned last year and made 450hp to the wheels using Haltech engine management. The car is for sale due to a growing family, and the need or a more practical sedan. I created a list of parts installed on the car below, although I’m sure there is more there that I overlooked.

As you can see in the pictures, there are some flaws. The hood and bumper are black, there is some rust starting in the corners of the rear arches, and the seats and interior have some wear as shown. This is the perfect weekend drift car, just add some nice fixback seats. 

 

Dragon in a downpour 

The wheels are no longer blue, just a nice shade of G-loc R6

Alright, with two yes's I should probably order that. I am going to do a complete front suspension refresh too. Should be a fun weekend

Much better than being at work

It's good to listen to Pat and I.  He once owned the world's fastest N54 in wisconsin and my father-in-laws 335i won an award for the #1 best car in the driveway at grandpa's house according to one of my children.

Finally got around to replacing shocks and struts on my daily, and threw some H&R sport springs while I was at it. Ride height is pretty ideal now. 
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this car here, but it’s a 2011 535xi sport that I picked up a year and a half ago. 

I'm waiting for the showdown between you and @DrLeadFoot.  Loser is exiled to the mk3 VW forums.  This forum ain't big enough for two running LS swapped projects.
