lol fucking slow as shit at work. yesterday i was on for literally 6 hours.
says not to in the manual but has to deal with the oil moving through the parts and having it warm up by move through the engine during normal use, not just sitting there idling. i use to let it warm up to but now i just cruise around under 3500k rpms until the oil hits around 210 or so

I got Volk Progressive ME's 19x8 and 19x9.5. Hankook tires.

All from WheelSto.

As soon as I can break away from my desk I'll take picks with the phone. One warning - I wanted to wait until the wheels were on to confirm, but there is a good amount of fender gap. I will be adding some lowering springs to cut that in half, but I will probably wait until spring.

Ya think so? There are only 2 months with these wheels on left.

Ricer X · 09-17-2009, 03:35 PM

BTW, you like how I park far enough away that nobody parks near me but yet not so far as for people to be like...."oh, theres that a-hole with the BMW". Plus there are better cars in the lot (oddly they all park in the handicapped spaces).

CubanJJ09 · 09-17-2009, 03:49 PM

Lol. Nice

wheels look great kudos.

hahaha thanks a lot.

the retro fit on the back is kinda a big deal but most of the parts needed for the front are like $30. I'll need some new pads though.
