Haven't updated in a couple weeks. Some fun news! I talked to the original owner of the car (2nd owner gave me his number) and learned a few things! Apparently it's not a dinan intercooler but a wagner evo 2 competition fmic which actually flows better and didn't require trimming. Also found out it's I have the M Performance springs but not the shocks. The nice surprise was the car has been treated with cilajet so water still beads right off years later!

I didn't have a chance to do too much to the M235i since I'm getting the 340i ready for lease return, but installed some NGK plugs gapped to 0.20, and installed the ER chargepipe after my stock cp blew! Also put on some 15mm turner spacers. The spacers make the stance so much better but ultimately I decided I need 19s, so those have already been sold only a day later

So I finally pulled the trigger and just ordered some 19s! I am pretty sure I am going to be the first F22 to run 19" Apex wheels! I ordered the EC-7s in Anthracite in 19x8.5et35 19x9.5et43 and got some falken fk510 tires in 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. The tires have great reviews for less than half the price of pilot sports so figured I give them a try. Apex did not recommend this wheel fitment but from what I have researched this should work! I can't wait to get them but they are back ordered until early October So hope to have them on in 2 weeks! Will also drop my side skirts this week for paint and hopefully get around to the uuc in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned... bigger plans coming for phase 3!!

BTW I am also I'm selling some B58 parts off my 340i, so if anyone with a M240i is looking, pm me!
