Bro, this makes me so happy. I’ve been so torn between a high kick and a CSL trunk so I’m def looking forward to the update.

Just got the wing. Installing it in a bit. Will definitely post photos. I like the CSL's angle. I just don't like the edges and how round it is. If somebody could make a decklid that aggressive, I'd be all in!

Nice car! Just picked up an silverstone 11' E90 myself.

Can I ask, did you wrap the roof and mirrors in glossy black vinyl or did you buy parts that were already gloss black? If you wrapped them, how hard was it and what vinyl did you use?

+1 for Tunai firefly, works great once you dial it in with the volume settings.

Good looking high kick spoiler, I'm between that and the low kick one myself or just keeping the oem.

Maybe you have some photo presets on sale or something? Very like your graded style!!!

Can't comment on the roof but I know IND sells painted and CF mirror caps. I got my black mirror caps from them.

Aye bro, when you and your buddies wrapped your roof, did ya'll do the rails too? I had my roof wrapped last night and the guy said the rails would be difficult due to the rubber seals or whatever.

edit: Nvm, just watched the vid and saw that the rails were untouched.

We did do the rails. We took out the left side and did it but clips broke. Theres no way to prevent that. I know you can buy the little clips but if youre lucky, a few will stay on. For the right side, we wrapped it on the car.

Im gonna get it rewrapped though along with the car.

Oh yup. Good to know about the clips.

Post the pics with the indy 500! Loved how they look. I had your 219m thread saved just for the pictures of the tires. I want to replicate the tire size!

I bought her yesterday after months of searching and seeing potential cars sell to other people. It's a huge accomplishment for me. I've been driving a 2004 Camry for the last 6 years (which I still love). I couldn't be happier with this car. One owner car that was very very well taken care of w/ tech and premium packages.

Only things I don't like are:
- Wood trim (If anybody wants to trade their carbon trim, lmk)
- USB doesn't support my iPhone X (typical but fixable)
- Bluetooth only for making calls (again, fixable)

Other than that, everything is perfect and just how I wanted.

If anybody has a way to fix the USB/Bluetooth issues, please lmk before I take it to a BMW tech place. Trying to figure out if I need my iDrive updated.

I have big things planned for it and I'm happy to finally be an owner of one of these cars.

UPDATE: PUT SOME SWIFT SPRINGS ON:

UPDATE: WRAPPED THE ROOF/ADDED LIP:

UPDATE: 02/14/2018

WING IS HERE! BIG THANKS TO JBSPEED

UPDATE: 02/03/2020

It's been well over a year since the last update and 2 years since I've owned the car. She now has 112k miles and shes still going strong. I have a Velos tune on the car now and it's great! I also deleted my secondaries and did the 4 pipe mod. Absolutely love the way it sounds. Eventually looking to get a Corsa rear section. Future mods include a new front lip, side skirts and I'll end up wrapping the car too.

Decided to resurrect this since I'll be doing more to the car.

UPDATE #1: The car started making that cowbell noise in the driveshaft. Turned out to be the Center Support Bearing. We replaced that and it went away.

UPDATE #2: My car had been giving me a steering wheel vibration issue. Couldnt figure it out. After road force balancing my tires 6x, countless alignments, new control arms, new tires, new brakes, and new strut mounts, it turned out to be a faulty front right strut. So I finally got a set of coilovers. I went with BC BR's. For the price, can't beat it. I only daily drive the car so these are perfect. They ride great. I personally will miss having the EDC functionality, but for now, I'm very pleased with the BC's. Check out the video and photos below!

UPDATE: 02/07/2020

It's been a week since I had my coilovers installed. I let the suspension settle and I took the car in for an alignment at Euromotive Perormance. The absolutely nailed the alignment. The car drives amazing!

I also went down from a 15mm spacer to a 12mm spacer in the rear. No more rubbing!

Check out the video of the alignment below!

Good choice

Love the color
