New Rims... - United Bimmer Community

Well, I broke down and spent the $$ for a new set of rims and tires for my L7. They'll be here tomorrow about 10am, and should be mounted/balanced and ready to put on by 11:30-Noon. As soon as their on and the car's washed (well, maybe not washed) then I'll have pics up. I went w/ the M3 replicas in gunmetal... should be sweeeeeeet.

Than I'll have to update my sig... oh my. lol.

Well, I'm almost confident that I've located and plugged the leak in the cabin - which if I have then the next step is to start the stereo install (complete w/ new component and sub setup, amps, new wiring, etc.), after which comes the new floor insulation and carpeting. I've also pulled the old blower motor and have to order a new one so I'll have air again (have to clean the outer core while I have the blower motor out), and hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll get around to sand blasting the cowling over the blower motor and clear coating it. Last 'large' project for now is a new exhaust system so I can rid meself of the leaks in the current one and install my new muffler/tip. Other than those few things it's mainly aesthetic work here and there to get her all 'purdy.

I'll have her back in an hour or so... watching the clock like a hawk right now. Lol.

There they are (once the car starts again and I can get her home/to work I'll take better pics - these are w/ my phone)

looks nice, good luck getting everything else done.

Alrighty!! I got the start button installed (well, working, have to find a place to mount it and the togle switch), and brought her to work to snap a shot. After I get the fresh air cowling done and everything washed I'll snap a few more pics. But check the sig. to see a better pic of the rims.

to address is my suspension... I've got a lil' ass-sag goin' on and am looking to go coil-overs all the way around (unless there's a better alternative to adjustability and ride quality), I want to keep 85-90% of the stock cush, with a much adjustability as possible for ride height and stiffness.

Ideas, suggestions?
