I ordered the exact same spec in black from a company in Germany who had one in stock and were awesome to work with. My plan is to put red harnesses on the black one and black harnesses for the red one, try and tie them together a bit as well as some other red accenting to come. At least It matches the motor for now.. we'll call the red one the hot seat!!

Dream seats... I want them so bad.

There's some great deals on hardware on this forum, if you're ever gonna do it you should pick some of it up. I wish I shopped the forum before ordering my hardware could of saved $3-400...

Installed the Ultimate Clutch Pedal. Haven't had a chance to drive yet.

Found this little tidbit in the instructions pretty funny

You DIYers make me so jealous. Wish I had the tools, time, and patience to pull off these sort of maintenance items

amrazM · 04-07-2019, 07:09 PM

Diff bushings, subframe bushings(Akg), carbon driveshaft, SS lines, ecs trailing arm, FL camber arms, hotchkits rsb.

DreamTime · 04-07-2019, 08:16 PM

Drove her full throttle in the mountains for the first time since our tail run. Transitioned from flowering dogwoods and wisteria in lower elevations to redbuds as we went higher. Gotta love the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perfect day, life is good 😍

You can do almost all basic maintanance with a standard $100 tool kit from Lowe's. Plus a couple little things. Water pump, plugs, coils, thermostat, actuators, brakes, oil, ect.

I have a pair of mint, 2 month old flawless Sportster CS in black leather/alcantara I might part with... They come with Recaro sliders but no mounts as I hadn't bought those yet. Shoot me a PM if you're seriously interested.

Seriously all you need to work on this car is an 8,10,13 a couple torx and etorx. 6mm for throttle clamps.

panda-R · 04-07-2019, 10:39 PM

Woke up from hibernation. Haven't driven for 6 months. So sad but now so happy!

donnyblaze1 · 04-08-2019, 06:07 AM

Took care of some cosmetic annoyances...new tow hook cover, kidney grilles, painted reflectors, and a bumper respray to erase a few years worth of rock chips.

Also picked up a new stable mate for my ///M, an E70 X5 for family hauling duties.

Removed full tints from previous owner including windshield and gave her a early spring bath.

Nothing like a clean fish bowl

Next, need a new battery and then off to get X pipe swapped for re-inspection.

TrueToBMW · 04-08-2019, 04:21 PM

Thought about my M3 at home, as I was admiring other BMWs today...

Dr. Dre · 04-08-2019, 06:03 PM

Drive it to the gun range. Shot like shit. Car was awesome. I'm just amazed at the throttle response.

Yuppp...Took a ride around the ring in an F90 M5, I was in the neighborhood, so figured I'd take advantage, it was awesome! Makes me admire BMW (as well as other cars I saw driving at speed) even more than I already do.
