I'm more and more excited with each day that passes! Tired of driving my stock-ish F30 around.

Small update to the build thread:
My place of work has no covered parking so my interior bakes in the CA sun every day. I've been wanting to buy a sunshade but also wanted something a little different if possible. I'm a big fan of what Japanese companies have to offer and came across this sunshade a while back from the infamous Tommy Kaira. Got bored waiting for the aero to be done so placed the order. The piece is designed for the E89 (they make an amazing aero kit for E89 as well) with no E85 option. Fingers crossed that it fits alright

I'm not normally a fan of blue but Interlagos Blue is very classy.

I just got some news it'll be another 1-2 weeks due to some complications. Patience is a virtue though!

The rear is definitely my favorite part of the kit. I've got a catback just waiting for some custom tips too, to fill up the new openings. The front has some light modification so will be slightly different than the other Rieger Z4 bumpers out there. I'm now officially excited to say the least

Did I already use the popcorn smilie?

Fuck it.

Can't wait!

Due to some major complications that I won't divulge into here (ahem, body shop), picking up the car this week from the shop. In the meantime, I've picked up a bunch of parts awaiting installation (Rogue Diablo exhaust, 90mm dry carbon tips, Speedhunters plate frame, Kics plate locks, etc.). Only shot I have right now of this stuff is of the tips. The pic does not do it justice, these things are amazing in person and I can't wait to get them on!



I also decided to play with photoshop to help decide which rear wing/spoiler option was right for me. I've been debating VRS short wing with custom roadster brackets, Voltex wing (or Origin, etc.), Arkym spoiler (they say it fits roadster but I have not seen this), or NKB spoiler setup (don't now if this can be purchased, or needs to be bought with a higher price tag via Liberty Walk).

None worthwhile saving. The combined aesthetics and functionality of the Voltex has me sold

Lol I know a couple of S2000 owners that would take out their passenger seat so they could deliver wheels to their customer. Gotta love the reactions!

Smallest update EVER, haha. Project Kics Number Plate Locks came in last week Boy am I a sucker for JDM tidbits...

[Vanne]

The F30 328i was a GREAT car! It got excellent MPG, made good power (BMS JB4 helped ), had decent features, and was not a bad price. However, it's much more of a normal car than the Z4. If you're able to keep the Z as a toy, I'd say the F30 would make a great addition to your stable.

Just saw the shoutout! WOW...build is coming along well and looking incredible. Love the Voltex wing idea you should do it and can't wait to see the exhaust completed as well. I'm thinking about going to 90mm tips too on my el diablo setup! Keep us posted. Great job here sir! APPROVED

Haha its a love/hate thing. Either you love it or you don't. Yeah it is. I still haven't gotten around to taking anymore pics with the dslr. I traded my wheels for some iforged wheels and haven't gotten them to my preferred fitment yet . Until then, i wont have any pics.

By the way, i use to have an RX8 also. Yours made me want to get those Weds haha.
