That Sonax stuff is my new favorite product ever..!! Next I'm going to try that SwissVax on my leather and see if I can get it to come out like that guy from YouTube who does the coral red seats and they come out looking phenominal!!

That rendering looks cool!

I noticed you quoted someone on that.

Oh ok.

Yeah cause I thought it looked good and is very well done. But I honestly hadn't thought of the fact that I also want to cover my wood trim... And you mentioned it'd be too much, and I agree. I don't like my car flashy, so I may have to stick to a black pattern, as the CF is a bit too much on its own.

nothing. i love having to do nothing.

I sort of agree with you. A lot of CF would look too much but just the dash I personally think looks at least better than wood. Plus certain models come with CF trim so it isn't outlandish by any means.

I threw some H&R race springs over the weekend and I am pleased with the results.
In total it is lowered 1 1/4" in the front and 1" in the back.

loveskiing · 03-04-2015, 11:23 PM

Well I started it up...listened to that growl...took her for a ride...had some guys in a modded Camero tell me that my car was the sh*t...had another guy stop me to ask about the slotted rotors...and another in a tricked out pick-up rev his engine and peel out in a vain attempt to race him...
Another day in the life of a BMW...

Stock springs, non-sport suspension. The Bilstein HD are stiffer and more grounded.

Best to check local prices for parts and labour (3 hours backs, 5 hours fronts).

Oh thanks.
Because I have sport suspension (which is already stiffer and grounded as you said) I was interested in knowing how they'd compare. I guess there's not much gain for me in swapping it out, is there? I'm not into lowering, and my car is already very low.

I don't think there would be much to gain at all (and also not entirely sure that Bilstein HD would be a direct replacement for sport).
The stock suspension was not very good, and especially bad once it starts to wear and and the struts start to leak.

Just felt bad because my car is so dirty from our interesting Teas weather. Can't wait to detail it this weekend!

Soles330i · 03-05-2015, 09:39 PM

screwed in my floor mat holders...

been lazy with that but got my new mats delivered today, so why not?

YouAreMyWorld · 03-05-2015, 09:52 PM

Blacked out my kidney grills and took her in for a nice wash.

Note:

Brand new owner of a 10' 335i, barely had her for a little over two weeks now! I'm just in love with it!

Titanium Silver with black rims and have been spending almost all of my spare time researching and reading all that I can with what this forum has to offer!
