Visiting a friend I convinced to get a similar ride (mine's a 335 e93, hers is a 328 e92, but same interior/exterior colors)

With my new 17x9 Arc8 setup, 245/40 all around

Interior work: wrapped trim in brushed steel 1080 vinyl, swapped the consoles from beige to black, new shifter & ebrake boots. More to come...

...like this new steering wheel! Should arrive sometime this week or next:

Other mods:
BMS DCI
BMS JB+
BMS cowl filters
BMS OCC
RB Turbo PCV valve
VRSF 5" stepped IC
knockoff M3 aluminum pedals
LED interior lighting conversion
Koni FSD shocks
M3 front control arms

I see you got a E92 black rear console. You didn't want the cup holders anymore?

Thanks! I want it even lower, especially at the front, but may have to do some heavy customising.

Guantanamo is synonymous with torture

points to the Canadian!

Seriously, I had two adults in the back seat over the weekend; it was horribly inhumane treatment!

Exactly the same as he left the showroom in 2008.

Purchased a 328i 2012 MY in July of last year. My dad had a E36 Techno Violet M sport 328i convertible for a number of years.

Sunday drive to the ballpark. Only Mods so far are coding and cleanup/paint of calipers and rotor hubs. Bought it with windows tinted already. AK front splitter on the way. Other than the cheap looking window trim I'm pretty happy with exterior/Interior.That might be it for this car. Only other mods I'm considering are engine oriented. Might just be limited to a charge pipe as pm. Not sure I want to want to go down the horsepower rabbit hole, as the DD reliability seems to go down as HP goes up. Understandable, but not what I'm wanting out of this car. To me this is a long distance Blue Ridge scenic cruiser, vice the twisty carver I just got out of. See last pic for that.....

My car had been in the workshop for 10 months due to some unforseen circumstances, but on Friday, I finally got her out with most of the work done. RR700s, PI, stage 3, installed but not completely hooked up yet, so no PI yet. I literally drove her off the dyno and took her for a 1500 mile journey. On the way, we hit a kangaroo at night. It's an extremely common thing here in Australia outside of the cities!

Found a few great spots to take some photos and even with the front bumper damaged, decided to take some photos anyways. Below are just a few. Car is also covered in dust and bugs!

A mate rany photos through lightroom, so the photos look a bit filtered but I love them. My missus was nice enough to run the photos through some iPhone app to photoshop the damage out!

Your car looks bad ass! Low low low. Kangaroo didn't stand a chance.
