Summer: Nothing planned

Actual: Depo Fogs, Clear style tail lights (ones most of you guys have, oem clear?), clear corners.

Within next 2 months: 18" probably csl's (sorry to copy you James), 30% window tint, m3 exhaust or one under $300, new speakers, painted side skirts, and bumpers, rear m3 bumper diffuser for stock 325 bumper, one on bavauto.

Before next summer: 5 speed tranny (almost 100% positive I will have just after winter, but don't wanna jump to conclusions.)

You give me 4500$ for my car next summer and it's yours!!!

Of course i'll have to remove the ZKW 6K HIDS euro ellipsoids which on it's own is worth $600!

things I planned for this summer:

drive the shit out of my car in the canyons

thins I achieved this summer with my car:

drove the shit out of it in the canyons



and it still runs just as good with ZERO problems that I had to deal with

next summer when i hopefully have some money I will start replacing some of the worn out suspension pieces and bushings.

In NYC buying 93 oct is more cost effective...

check it out below,

Simple "if-then logics" (Komodo you'll learn this trick sophmore year in college.)

If 89 octane is usually $2.49,
then 91 octane will be $2.59 (or 10 cents higher),
and 93 octane will be $2.64 (or a nickle more)

so 89 -93 = 4 octane level more for 15 cents
and 89 - 91 = 2 octane level more for 10 cents

so when 2 =10 and 4= 15, we see that taking 4 octanes for 15 cents is cheaper than only taking 2 octanes for 10 cents. To get an idea of savings multiply 2=10 and 4=15 by the total visits to the pump annually. For me it's 5 times a month or 60 times a year. So my car is getting:
4 octanes X 60 visits at 15 cents per visits that is 340 octanes for $90.00 . This is better than 2 octanes X 60 visits at 10 cents which is 120 octanes for $60.00 or 240 octanes for $120.00.

so Komodo at the end of the year you'll pay an average of 120.00 bucks for only 240 octanes, whiles I pay 90.00 bucks for 340 octanes.

see the savings!!!!
