Featured on BIMMERPOST.com [img]https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/attac...8;d=1603514756[/img] [img]https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/attac...8;d=1603514756[/img] Decent trade in value, a great discount off MSRP and $6500 of BMW incentives = a deal I can not refuse. I was now the proud owner of a MY20 Alpine White with black/beige interior F97 Comp package. I said to myself it's great the way it is, but who am I really kidding. Thanks to great forum sponsors like r33_RGSport IND-Distribution as well as a personal friend of mine who isn't a listed vendor here on the forums, Nelson at hard park pro. The mods were flowing in, first thing on hand were a set of Vossen wheels (HF-5) in anthracite, and a set of MSS height adjustable springs to lower the car as well as helping with the "harsh" ride. As well as 5% Llumar ceramic tint all around and Air 80 on the front windshield.

I am glad I did as the build quality is amazing as well as wrapping around the whole front of the bumper. [img]https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/attac...8;d=1603514866[/img] [img]https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/attac...8;d=1603514866[/img] As I thought I was pretty much done after this, my wallet was screaming at me. Unfortunately a great forum member Mr. jsnkim happens to live close by and I got to hear first hand how wonderful the Akrapovic exhaust sounds. So a couple of dollars later I have an axel back Akra installed on my car. [img]https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/attac...8;d=1603514866[/img] I also have a set of low dust pads from r33_RGSport which are working out PERFECTLY! No more squeaking and my wheels still look clean after driving for a week or two. Here are a couple of pics of the car as it is now, until the next mod!

Wow, I bet the new ride felt extra good after recovering from COVID, yikes! Bought my Car in June out of state but didn't see it till this month. Whole time crossing my fingers "plz don't let me get sick before I get a chance to experience my first M..."
Your car looks great and glad you recovered. My vossens shipped to Portland in 5 days, but got lost in a massive freight backup caused by local wildfires. Three weeks later and so far only one rim has been delivered. What a year... |
