Who can't wait for spring?

DJKhan85 · 01-21-2010, 09:53 PM

Alright boys(maybe a gal or 2)

Lets hear what everyone is planning for the spring. The mod bug has to have hit some of you out there.

I go style230s with non rfts, KW v2s, and a wavtrac LSD. Shooting for march to have everything installed.

POST UP THE UPGRADES!

jopa489 · 01-21-2010, 09:59 PM

I can't wait, but just a few relatively minor mods planned for the E90. Thinking vinyl reflector covers, performance grilles, and maybe tints. My 162s with summer rubber go back on too.

BMWjames · 01-21-2010, 10:15 PM

I have actually done the majority of my mods this winter... I couldn't buy them and just look at them until spring!

kramerica72 · 01-21-2010, 10:53 PM

I can't wait to get these brick Blizzak RFT's off and my 219M's on! Boston roads in winter=epic fail! Picked up a Powerbox too, but don't think I will wait that long to install

Hedges · 01-21-2010, 10:57 PM

Throwing back the V710's and going to buy the ground control coil-overs

cyphr · 01-21-2010, 11:47 PM

wavetrac is a great upgrade, you won't regret it!

Arustik1 · 01-21-2010, 11:56 PM

Im excited for autox to start back up ... hopefully hitting up a few racetracks in the area as well

Who's down??

-D

ibeclueless · 01-22-2010, 06:29 AM

buying h&r coilovers soon and waiting for spring to come to install it and v710s are coming back on. also i might get a m3 spoiler too.

MassBimmer · 01-22-2010, 08:00 AM

I did expensive mods this winter (wheels + M3 spoiler) so I'll probably lay low for a while...next mod will likely be a BMW Performance intake

JeffL · 01-22-2010, 10:50 AM

light stuff for me. Powder coating my factory 166's satin black, black kidney grills, and black side gills. That's probably it. maybe H&R springs and Rouge Engineering 12mm spacers all around, maybe...

and YES hurry up spring so I can ditch these damn snow tires.

DJKhan85 · 01-22-2010, 12:42 PM

Boo no LSD for me. There was a mis-communication on final price.

Oh well.

Glad I'm not the only one with some plans for their cars.

JeffL: Where are you getting your wheels powdercoated? I am thinking about gunmetal for my 230s.

Arustik: I definately want to hit up a track at some point. I want to see what the 335 can do.

JeffL · 01-22-2010, 02:02 PM

there is a guy local to me. MidNight Powder Coating. He's mainly a motorcycle guy but has no problem doing car wheels and anything else that will fit in his oven. His prices are really good, it's sort of a side business for him.

Guys name is Phil shoot him an email if you have questions P_Newcomb81@yahoo.com

Dollar Bill · 01-22-2010, 02:10 PM

Starts with removing snows ASAP!!!
AC pedals here, install this weekend?
Trunk and roof spoiler on order
BMW performance exhaust soon to be on order

I'm really curious to hear what you think of it. Been kinda/sorta considering it, but if you could post up your thoughts once you get it installed that would be awesome.

Racetracks ya I am all about that.

inter1032 · 01-23-2010, 01:49 PM

hopefully an 09 or 08 e92 328xi by april

DJKhan85 · 01-24-2010, 03:38 PM

Happy day. Got all my parts from Tischer required for the coilover installation.

Everything is tightened and adjusted. Just need to remove stock suspension and throw these bad boys on.

Now time to order(again from tischer) the black lower grilles. Would have been helpful to know the right part numbers last week but such is life.

I like everything on that list other than M6 Reps ... a lot of nice wheels out there for our cars.

If you're doing so much work might as well put money into a sick set of wheels/tire
