Okay, so this is kind of a teaser. And I don't even have any pics, at that! But! Let me just name-drop a little bit: H&R, Bilstein, BBS, Nitto, Dension, short-shifter (bought the Z4 one - waiting for it to come in, stuck in customs ), new shift knob... some MAJOR hook-uppage taking place soon. Gonna use Motorcepts and my local indie for most of the work, except for the programming of the MP3's - gonna hit up my man A*** for that one oh, also, getting a rear anti-roll bar - the Ultra. Have a set of color-matched kidneys that will be going on as well, and to ice this cake, gonna finally get that lonely "5" off my trunk and grace it with the proper matte black badge, which will proudly read "530Xi".

After this, I'll be short only an exhaust, bored throttle body and an ECU hack. Honestly, may just stop at the exhaust to make her sing a little more and enjoy it. Gotta start saving up for the next one (probably an F10, but dang is that thing over-priced, or what?!)

Anyway, just sharing what's up in my neck of the woods. Can't wait to get it all done!

Happy Spring, ya cheeky bastards!

Nice! You're gonna love all those mods. Take photos if you can.

I hope so! I really hope I can fit the Ultra bar in the rear too - if I could tie down the bottom in the back a bit, it would flatten my handling, methinks. Together with the lower suspension and new dampers, I sure hope my tight-curve grin factor will improve tremendously!

Thanks Michael! And thanks again for hooking us up with the Bilsteins - it was a pleasure to deal with you. BTW they got to my house the next day after you sent me the tracking #

I sure will. I wanna take the winter pics this coming weekend - gonna put the roof rack back on, put the skis on and take some nice shots - wanna get some nice shots of the car with the winter setup before it gets dropped


Oh, and I totally forgot to mention, I'll probably go ahead and have partial Alpina graphics put on. I don't wanna do the entire thing, just a fading line here and there. Just to set off the airdam and the sideskirts a little.
