Bored at work: New Toy

mrtanz · 12-20-2011, 07:45 PM

Very bored at work but cant be bothered taking leave.

This just arrived today and took 2 min to install. Its actually a replacement glass not just a sticky cover

New year purchases:
19" GT-CX in hyper silver
Yokohama S.Drive 235/35 Front, 265/30 rear
Possibly eibach springs & BMW performance exhaust

mrtanz · 12-20-2011, 07:46 PM

Wife has only approved first 2 purchases. Think i can sneak in the eibach springs at the same time as the wheels
But the exhaust will be harder

Get the exhaust you won't regret it.

Were you suppose to post an image because it didn't show...

pcockley · 12-20-2011, 07:52 PM

hahahaha guess what arrived for me today! I'll give you a hint it has 2 little star screws holding it in and I saw a post a week or so ago on the 1er forum and thought, its xmas i'll get one as well!

mrtanz · 12-20-2011, 07:54 PM

hahaha
I didnt even see that
I bought this early November from UK but the one they sent was cracked so they sent me a new one

Yeah i am seriously considering the exhaust. I have heard great things about the noise from the 325i

pcockley · 12-20-2011, 07:59 PM

RaihaX would recommend you go Meth first ;-)

325i perf exhaust is

Not a fan of yokohama s.drives... better tyres out there for that money.

mrtanz · 12-21-2011, 12:09 AM

was also looking at the PZero Nero??
or Hancock

RaihaX · 12-21-2011, 12:21 AM

Michellin PSS.

mrtanz · 12-21-2011, 12:37 AM

I need to keep the cost of the tyres under $1000 if possible
The PSS is $1248+shipping
Compared with the PzEro which is $888

Dunlop Direzza Starspec Z1 or Hankook V12 then.

mrtanz · 12-21-2011, 12:49 AM

yeah could squeeze the V12
How much on average is shipping from Tirerack

RaihaX · 12-21-2011, 12:51 AM

I think they charge like $200 last time

pcockley · 12-21-2011, 01:04 AM

Yeh mid 2's from memory

bmwaddiction · 12-21-2011, 02:21 AM

have they got a RHD version of performance exhaust for 325i?

I think someone on this forum was doing it but it took a lot of work to get it right in terms of parts

RaihaX · 12-21-2011, 05:46 AM

Hmmm there's a lhd and RHD version?

mrtanz · 12-21-2011, 06:51 PM

This is what i would be getting
