Well for a trip that was over 1,000 miles, that would have been a lot of bug and rock chips haha. I am OCD when it comes to my cars. red interior is ftw

A few updates:

I sold the BMW carbon fiber performance spoiler and bought an M3 trunk lip.

I spent a few hours a couple weeks ago cleaning the engine bay, I bought some engine cleaner from Auto Zone and went to work. Looks brand new under the hood!

I just picked up a very nice set of style 230's a few days ago!! I still need to buy tires though. I spent all day today cleaning all of the brake dust and gunk, so now they are looking brand new!

and a random of the interior

Alen E90 · 12-13-2014, 11:00 PM

Nice job going with the style 230's, your going to love 'em!!

Thanks for sharing the pics and btw I thought you were selling the car?

Yeah I can't freaking wait man lol. I think 19's fill out the wheel wells much better than 18's. I was, but I just moved to Florida a few months ago and financially the smart thing for me to do is keep the car for a while.

Yup the 230's fill up the wells very nicely but most importantly they're a sick set of shoes! Also its great to see that you've decided to keep her. Keep the mods coming!!

Love this thread!

People need to shut the hell up about the whole "M3 to 328i" thing though. Who cares! Beautiful ride man, and awesome since-retired S2K as well

njdan · 12-23-2014, 06:07 PM

Love this build, wish you where still in Jersey would love to pick your brain. I am 35 min from AC. By the way who painted your trim and roof?

bdubz · 12-31-2014, 12:37 PM

All these mods on a car that will never be fast. Like the one guy said why not get a 335 when your installing power upgrades. Car look nice and I can't argue you tuning it... but isn't that for more power. Maybe I'm just different but I think it's not worth the money tuning anything but a 335 or M series.

All I have is just exhaust, I didn't buy the BMW PE + aFe pipes for power, I really am in love with the sound of the BMW inline 6. When you let off the gas and you hear all those pops and gurgles, that's what it is about for me. The pleasure of driving. I don't need a fast car to be happy.

Here are some not-so-good iPhone 6 pictures of the style 230's

I bought some Dunlop Direzza's DZ101 and so far I like them!

225/35/19 F 265/30/19 R

Alen E90 · 01-01-2015, 04:54 AM

Hey Chris, the 230's look great but how come you didn't get 235/35's for the front? Btw an M-Tech rear and a set of spacers is definitely needed

Thanks for sharing bro!

TheStig · 01-03-2015, 07:59 PM

S2K M3 S2K 328i??? I mean like really ? well. its a bmw so not that bad.

ihc95 · 01-03-2015, 08:45 PM

Jesus Christ give this guy a break. Who cars what his previous cars were.

Beautiful car man and enjoy the Florida weather. We're freezing here in Jersey!

Because when I looked into the factory tire sizes for these wheels the fronts were 225/35. After installing them I will upgrade to 235/35 when these get low.

Trust me man, I want M-Tech bumpers so bad. I will get around to it eventually.

Yeah I updated the original post and deleted my previous cars, it was getting annoying.

Love this thread, very tasteful mods. Also an ex-S2K owner here, gave up the AP1 once the baby came along, for an E90 330i sedan...

Really making me want to pull the trigger on the BMW PE + aFe pipes, if only it wasn't so damn expensive! But yeah these cars are way too quiet stock. Was it easy to do the install yourself? Any parts needed besides the pipe cutter... and did you clamp or weld?
