Yeah, but very lightly. Just a bit of damage to the boot and bumper. I'm having IND do both at the same time once V wraps-up the 09' boot. They guarantee color matching. :fingers crossed:

Duh! I'll replace all 4 sections of lights with the 09' LEDs. The outside body fender didn't change for 09', so no fitment problem. Only the section on the trunk was changed.

Honestly, the old taillight section has always been the only part of my car I've ever struggled to love. Now we'll fix that.

I'd love to see BMW to put out LCI Blacklines. Any inside word Park?

I'm thinking about some Vorsteiner CF pieces, including the bootlid and & Ti exhaust. Maybe 360's and suspension to follow? These are my 09' resolutions.

I just wish we had some supply in the area - a chance to see stuff in person, feel it and fondle it.

I'm planning on Mfest, so maybe I'll wait and see some vendor stuff there. Is there usually plenty to fondle? And I mean car parts.

Most companies don't bring out too extensive of stuff to MFEST because we drive our company cars out there... but maybe?

Bring the fam out to San Fran for vacation and swing by Jlevi

That's hilarious, because when I saw Scott Blvd a month or so ago in your sig, I chuckled. I worked, literally, around the corner from you for years (before my M days) and never appreciated having something like you so close by. You never appreciate things until they're gone, do you.

Grew up in Fremont but we moved from Palo Alto just a few years ago to Salt Lake.

Thanks for the response JL.

Cool, Guess Id never realized the outside lights were the same shape!

Awesome of Jlevi to come in here, i wonder how they know we were talking about them??

Also, no inside word on parts yet... We are still waiting for BMW to release the 3 catalog. Its been almost a year since we had one.

accendo · 03-02-2009, 02:51 PM

It's all quiet in here today. Everyone must be hiding . . . or working.

Park2670 · 03-02-2009, 03:14 PM

Wheels just showed up

Yeah, I thought that was kind of cool. He probably watches the western states regional threads.

Keep an eye out for the blacklines. I'd hate to buy OEM, then just to have blacklines (or whitelines : pray : ) appear a month later.

Yup, no bumper/fender changes - that would be pretty major for production. See, only the trunk....

Check out the Goodyear F1 Asyms. I've been doing a lot of research lately will probably try them out this summer with new wheels.

coco_m3 · 03-02-2009, 06:55 PM

Do those Kumho's look sporty enough?

is 'look' really what you should be after? How about all around performance?

nsanbyker · 03-02-2009, 07:58 PM

babino,

Do you have Chaz's # and address for Pro Tints? I'd like to talk to him.

Hello everyone.

nsanbyker · 03-02-2009, 11:26 PM

Jeff, I have those Kumho Ecsta's in 235/35/19 fronts. Will these sizes work? If they will, you can buy 245/40/18 which should be cheaper and I'll trade you straight across. My tires have about 1500 miles.

We live to serve you. You can't type the word Jlevi on E90Post or E46Fanatics without our entire staff automatically seeing it.

Sometimes we ignore or overlook comments, but whenever we can help, we hop in.

How funny! Well, hopefully you'll come out some time soon to see the family or something

TurboFan · 03-03-2009, 01:09 AM
