Sounds good, I'll try to swing by Imola and meet up with you guys.

For anybody going to C&C tomorrow, I'm planning on heading to the nearby Caribou beforehand to get the coffee in if you want to meet up there.

Be sure to be dressed for the weather! It'll be 50-ish degrees. BRRRRRR

BrianMN · 09-03-2010, 10:46 PM

I'll try to be there in time...(7:45????) But obviously don't wait for me.

And I will probably try to make it to the university thing.

Yup, I should be there around 7.45.

TrickTizzle · 09-04-2010, 12:39 AM

...After grabbing coffee you guys should head over to the target parking lot, the euro crew leaves from there at 8am to roll in at cars and cafe club style.

BSME90 · 09-04-2010, 03:33 AM

I most likely will be skipping this C&C. Just noticed my car has a flat tire.

I don't want to rush mounting off tire and get it filled.

IRL-MN · 09-04-2010, 06:50 PM

So who's in for a drive on Monday? I was thinking we would head over to WI and continue down Hwy 35 where a few of us went after the Spring meet. Anyway, let's start a list and throw around some ideas for a time and place to meet up:

1. IRL-MN
2.
3.
4.
5.

It was a good idea in theory. Oh well. The weather was kind of so so anyways. We all definitely need to get something going once the colors start to change...

Gary and I went on a drive in the rain. I think I ruined the fresh detail that I paid for over the weekend. In any case it was a great drive and we got some sweet pictures. Stay tuned.

Anvar,
Just installed the Stoptech Stainless Steel lines on my car this weekend. I would highly recommend this mod to your M. The pedal feel is so much better. Plus, it helps a lot when you have it on the track as the pedal travel stays much more consistent.

I'd recommend it for anyone. Had it on my 330 too and, for the money ($125 + install which is easy to DIY) it really improves the feel of the car.

Damnit Joe! I am trying to stop modding and you keep tempting me! We still need to see a picture of your dropped car with the new angels.

Haha. Sorry. I suppose that is why you want to see what the M looks like dropped a little?

I'll take some pics this weekend and post them.

Well, if you were tempted to mod the car, I'd say get that CHEAP Dinan LSD from the dude in Chicago (seen here). No brainer!

MNm3 · 09-08-2010, 02:36 PM

Anvar,

I couldn't wait any longer to put the wheels on. Here are pics of the car with the new 18" track wheels and after the Eibach sport kit. I'm not sure if the springs have settled all the way yet, they will be forsure after this weekend

You can imagine with the stock 19"s the wheel well gap goes away significantly. My next post will show stock ride height with 18s and 19s.

Looks good with these wheels. Tempted to make these my DD wheels...

I couldn't get a good pic of the AiBs with my camera, its POS. They look good though. M3 Post has a ton of pics of cars with them.

MNm3 · 09-08-2010, 02:39 PM

Here is stock ride height with both an 18 and a 19 stock wheel. (the 18" wheel is not my car)
