so i called Gil just out of curiosity and apparently he doesn't work saturdays. i got another guy in parts who was really rude and asked if he could check if the vinyls were in stock for me. he went on to tell me that i would have to wait for gil to come back in on monday to check the inventory for performance parts.

I'm usually up by 8:30...on weekends. By 6:30 on weekdays...

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 11-23-2013, 02:55 PM

Wow I love this car.

Presario · 11-23-2013, 06:50 PM

Thanks guys!!! Really appreciate the kind words!!!

Another update:

Switched out to the red and gold BBS center caps. Not really feeling it. The red looks a bit off without red brakes. Going back to the black and gold caps shortly.

For your car.....yeah, the black/gold look better.

BBS LMs never look bad, though. These caps look...idk, "classic," and are the way I'd always envisioned a BBS cap.

I consider them classic too, but the red/gold caps even looked funny on my E92 M3's LM's too. I kept the black/gold on instead.

In the fourth pic of the first post, the F30 looks very E90-ish. Neither a good nor bad thing, just my sense of the thing.

Handsome car.

IM2C · 11-23-2013, 10:15 PM

Classy modded. I'd go for red BBK.
Remember, the better you do, the more we have to nitpick.

I don't know, red/gold seems like it would work well against an orange/red BBK.

Still haven't gone that far with my mods, though...only a tune so far, I should get going

Oh I will, just that my current wishlist (Te37/BBS FI, Akra, Brembo/Stoptech, ESS SC) isn't cheap. Not that I can't get them right now, I just want to wait until I'm completely bored with the car to add some more thrill to it. Placebo effect...not sure if my tune suddenly made my car faster, or that I feel like I'm driving a faster car.

That's a sweet wish list. Any pics of your car?

Presario · 11-24-2013, 09:35 PM

Thanks guys! Yeah I pulled the red off and went back to black. With my yellow brakes, black and gold looked best. Man, red brembos or stoptechs would be amazing. Have to resist haha.

Turbolag, your mod wish list is incredible. Can't wait to see it take shape. Definitely keep us posted on your progres!

Not right now, no. Not on my work computer.

And aesthetically, it's stock, right now. Hence me wanting to mod it. I only have painted reflectors and a tune...

Finishing it off will take me quite a few years, seeing as I haven't really started yet. It'll probably happen over the course of a few year, seeing as I can't really drop that much money whenever I feel like it, lol. Haven't really started on it much, aside from painted reflectors and BPM tune, which I've had since a few months after car purchase.

And it's only a wishlist...right now

I want to get it going, but I'm also trying to talk myself out of being ridiculous.
