Thank you! I agree. That's why they are made of metal right? I love the wheels too. I do not love cleaning them tho.

Updated (finally) some of the progress with her. I still don't have a name for her. It's been a brutal winter here in South Dakota, and I still haven't gotten to spend a lot of QT with her.

Well it's been a month, a pretty busy one.

After the wheels came in, an Airlift 3P kit followed.
I got a great deal and amazing support from Original Hit him up if you are thinking about air suspension!
How she sits now:

Thank you as well! We had a slight hiccup on our trip out west (which I'll add into the thread here soon) , but overall I'm very grateful that things are working out well. It's all thanks to the forum and vendors here. 11 years on bimmerpost and I have to say it's still one of the best communities out there.

The truth! At first I really wanted a set of Work Vsxx, but the wait time was 3 months. I'm extremely happy I found these here on the forums. AR Motorwerkz out of Cali are the BBS go-to shop imo.

The lip is the Fang Aero lip from Morph Auto Design.

The exhaust really sounds great. It gives it a sharp bark. But I have the resonator still and I find a lot of others are still louder than me. I'm ok with that because this sounds more refined. The more warmed up she is the louder she gets. Sounds familiar lol.

Updated the first post with some recent shots and added last months upgrades to the build thread.

I think May was busy enough so I'm letting my wallet cool down for now.

Next up I think the car will get a nice detail/paint correction and the roof wrapped black.

I'm sorry but BBS's are so outplayed and overrated it isn't even funny anymore.

Dang, that panel scratch shouldn't have cost 2.6k to repair. Be glad you had insurance because that was a rip off price.

I can't say I've met many people that share that opinion but thanks for the input anyway.

Regarding the "scratch", I think it you saw the estimates, you would be more convinced. Anywho, it was just more points on the Amex.
