Like I've always said if I had to buy a BMW this would be it.

I'll ride like this for a while and see what coilovers become available. I believe the issue is the factory EDC, which really does work well. I'm a firm believer in coilovers, they really are the best way to get the job done.
ah ic, hope you will see something better soon. it's just from the pics that the car still looks a bit high so i think if it's lowered a tad more it would look great

so how many more miles before you can turn on the full 500hp?

i never get to ask, so you traded in the 650?

Nice whip Gene!

I remember you were tellin' me you were waiting for it....this is the first time I've laid my eyes on them.

Do you service through Steve Thomas??? Let me know if you need anything...A good buddy of mine works there as Tech...so If you need any inside info, I can dig it up for you

I have another 800 miles to go It's low enough to scrape driveways now, not sure how more would be a good thing. I'll see about better pics.

Yes, traded in the 650i.

I actually got this one from Rusnak. The 650 came from Steve Thomas, but they are low balling me around $4k on my trade and they simply would not move. Rusnak did the best possible deal on both sides. A few more miles of a drive to Westlake is no biggie.
