Fresh Look for 2012 BBS FI + Akra Evo

tha_good_life · 06-04-2012, 12:46 AM

***SOME UPDATED PHOTOS ON PAGE 6***

Some of you guys have probably seen my old setup: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=545093

This year, I decided to change the look with some functional parts. I swapped out my GC coilover for for KW V3. I replaced my Eisenmann+Fabspeed xpipe to Akra Evo exhaust. I also purchased the ESS tune to fully optimize my new exhaust system. I sold my BBS LM-R and replaced it with BBS FI. I'm still waiting on my new lip and diffuser to arrive and have my whole car car re-bra.

I have to say, the BBS FI doesn't "pop" as the LM-R, but the performance, quality, and finish is best in class.

I would like to thank my buddy Jason Tang (atomic80) for his time and this wonderful shoot.
Enjoy the pictures.

Exterior:

BMW Performance spoiler
BMW Performance black chrome grill/gills
OSS AE conversion
iND painted reflectors
BMW LCI tail lights update
Akrapovic Evolution
MS 5mm spacers (front)

Wheels: BBS FI Titanium finish 19x9.5 f 265/35/19 19x10.5 r 295/30/19 Michelin PSS

Brakes: Brembo 380 from Alekshop.

Big shout out to Aleks at Alekshop for helping me source the parts!

Fixing the rub cost me some $$$. I'm slightly rubbing on heavy bumps. I can live with that. No issues in the front.
