Sorry to propose and bail, but the relays didn't fix the top and I ended up volunteering my Saturday to help with final pool season prep at the wife's fam biz.
Have fun if y'all go and I look forward to seeing the lighting upgrade.

Off topic but any recommendation for a reputable shop in St. Louis area, preferrably in the Clayton / Richmond Heights area? I am looking to install moslty bolt on parts like exhaust, x-pipe, and etc. I've been quoted $500 just to install an axleback set-up which I think is insane... Thanks!

Recently picked up 2009 e93 DCT. Btw. I did call GLB and they quited me best price from around here so I might call them back. Working on researching for a x-pipe. Thinking about RKP street option.

I would do it myself too but no tools in St. Louis and was thinking to pay $200 ish and have a shop near me do a quick job but I'm down for DIY at member's place. Of course, we can work out a comp!

Where in STL are you located? Please post pics of your car and new parts! I'm a little booked for the next few weeks. Doing valve covers, gaskets, plugs, o2 sensors and.... SUPER CHARGER!

Supercharger? Very nice!!! My e93 is mostly stock sitting at around 53K miles with cosmetic updates so far (headlight, CF spoiler, Bimmertech rearview camera, pedals, and other OEM replacements to wornout parts). I just picked up Eisenmann and looking for x-pipe with resonator (maybe RKP?) and possibly an intake/plenum (have not decided which). I am also looking for some wheels and suspension set-up but I kind of like the OEM set-up I have and I like the OEM suspension which I think is very comfortable and suitable for my needs. BTW, I picked up this e93 from a good friend of mine who babied it to and from golf courses mainly in the last decade (he claims he used "M" mode only several times since he purchased it). Here're some pics.

Woah that ride is looking CLEAN! Nice find brother. I think your head is in the right place for sure.
Couple easy/low hanging fruit mods I see are: 1) OEM BMW LCI taillights (Chris can code them) 2) Black out or Carbon side M3 grilles 3) Blacked out M3 trunk badge (I sell them, can pick up at my place if you like). 4) Amber reflector delete (you can get the custom painted ones or paint the stock ones). 5) You can run H&R sport springs or sport+. Sport + has a slightly higher spring rate but the drop is the same. I have the regular sport version and the ride is very much stock-like with the added drop. The drop is minimal (one inch), but in my humble opinion makes the stance absolutely perfect. 6) If you want performance a tune is your guaranteed best bet. You'll notice immediate improvement. I went with Evolve, I think Chris uses Mike Benvo. You can't go wrong either way just stay clear of Alpine. Lol. I also did a full LED interior lighting kit + license place lights and it's made the car look a lot younger. The intake I'm running now is an AFE. It's drop in. I'll sell it for the cheap if you want it since I won't need it soon. It's one of those lifetime ones. Pat |

I'm right next door in UCity on the west side of WashU.
Followed a similar Jerez e93 in downtown Kirkwood last Saturday - was it you?
