J BONE · 12-13-2008, 08:23 PM

Nice looking car, damn! Looking forward to meeting you guys. I am already tired of this weather. Everytime I wash the car....snow, sleet, rain, etc.

kiddo · 12-13-2008, 09:04 PM

We should have a mid west or great lakes meet. West coast has Bimmerfest and East coast has BMfest. We definitely need to arrange something like that.

J BONE · 12-13-2008, 09:38 PM

^ For sure! Can't wait until summer.

whered you get the black lower mesh grilles

J BONE · 12-14-2008, 09:52 AM

^ I painted mine last summer. Here is the thread. Takes a little time if you have OCD like me, but well worth it. You can also buy they from EAS I believe. If I remember right, it is a huge PITA to replace them. Hope this helps!

To be honest, I don't know the offsets off the top of my head, and the car is at Autobahn CC right now, so I can't look. The brakes are SICK! I've driven GT3 Cup cars, and I feel like they are on par with them. I have to be careful to not outdrive the tires.

Are you talkin bout the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet???

Saw an E92, Alpine white 335 with M6 reps at WestTowne Mall today around 1pm near the food court.

Holla if you're out there somewhere.

Vudoo4u2 · 12-14-2008, 06:27 PM

Black lower mesh grills from UniqueEDesign...its really just a slightly modified BMW part

Had them installed @ A&L (you need to remove the front bumper to make it an easy install...

As far as tint shops, I went to Shaded Days in libertyville and they did a pretty good job, still have to have my rear window fixed up one of these days, little imperfections in it, but not bad overall (they said the rear is very difficult)

Their pricing was very reasonable and they have the F1 pinnacle tint if you want it (but they dont recommend it as they say its not necessary and looks the same)

Nebster · 12-14-2008, 07:31 PM

what'd they charge you for the e92. i'm probably just going to paint the lowers myself. I put on the flat black kidneys today and for some reason two of the screws wont go back in. i tried everything, am i missing something?

anyone tried the vynl on the chrome trim? i think i'm gonna try and tackle it this weekend as well. who says you can't mod in the winter
