Sexy car. Minor suggestion: get gloss-black kidney grills. And maybe paint the hood.

back end of the car is mostly stripped for the cage. havent weighed it all yet but i was thinking the rear was too low and it came up 3/4 inch in ride height.

Nice. For a track car, a better option than stripping the e90 IMO

weighed the pile and less than i thought. total was 94.5 lbs. figure i was sub 3400 to start cuz its a somewhat stripper model so right at 3300 as it sits or so. front seat will save another 70-80ish. then the cage back in. not gonna be as light as i thought maybe 3250 if im lucky.

Nice build, congrats!
It would be interesting to read your comparo after once you drive them back-to-back on the track.

im interested in this part also. i do know this car pushes a lot stock just from my short drives since i got it. once it has -4.0 degrees of camber and 275-35 nt01s up front i think it will be better.
