Finally feel like I'm making progress on my e61 I got last year.

ISC Coilovers, 3M Vinyl Wrap, Tint, AE upgrade, LED bulbs, Modded tails, 19" Nurburgring Wheels(winter setup pictured), Mtech Sideskirts.

I have parts that still need to go on: M5 brakes, Dinan rear sway bar, SSG Heated Steering Wheel, SAT shifter assembly, 1M bumper, M5 side mirrors.

Coilovers, Spacers, Stud Conversion...



Homemade $5 rear SLS brackets. Got lucky and nailed the correct ride height the first try. Used red loctite to prevent the nut from getting loose on the bracket side while using a nylock nut on the other end so I can keep it slightly loose so that it can still rotate and move around.





Wrap Job in progress...

Door handles...


1M bumper. This was a PITA to wrap for a first timer. LOL!


Wrapped stock bumper which I was going to run over the winter with scrap pieces of leftover Vinyl. Didn't really care too much if there were visible lines as it would get trashed from the road salt and debris anyways.


Wrapped stock mirrors for now:

Originally was going to try out the chameleon mirage paint on my wheels when my car was white. I don't think it works as good on a darker color as there is not enough of a contrast IMO. Oh well, I'll keep it around and maybe change the color again this summer.

Thanks guys, I hope I can keep the momentum but this damn Chicago weather is putting a hamper on things sometimes. LOL.
