Finally got downstate to check out the Storm King Highway. Very impressive, but NARROW - glad I ran it before all the other folks started showing up. Taconic Parkway was actually a much more enjoyable drive, hit it early enough Sunday to mostly have it to myself. And now I understand the urge to customize - downstate there are so many BMW's and other eurosports that you need something a bit over the top to even stand out. I saw more 2 series than I'd seen the whole rest of my time w/ the car (still nothing compared to the x-drives and 5/7 series).

Yes, I got them from IND. However, I just installed the M Performance front splitter and wrapped the splitter portions in Avery White Pearl vinyl and it's a near perfect match to Mineral White. I should have saved money and went that route

You sir once again confirmed that the bicolor 624m are the best wheels for our cars!

Decided to keep my M240i absolutely stock (well, except for the functional Bigfoot mod to the plastic above the pedals). Need to find another cheaper hobby car to modify.

Thanks for the pics. Your car look really good and I believe you just changed my mind. I have found a pair of genuine Estoril Blue Mirror covers in UK for the 1 Series for about $140 CAD including shipping. Will post pics when I get them. |

Today I dropped of my base 228i 6MT coupe off @ the dealer for a 30,000 service.
I requested a 328i sedan for a loaner...I got 3,300 mile 330i loaner xdrive. I have the loaner overnight and put about 60 miles on it today. The 330i feels big/heavy on the road compared to my 228i. I think it is the xdrive in the 330i compared to the to the RWD 228i. The 330i is quick, nice auto trans....but I kept looking for the clutch with my L leg most of the day ! |

Today I fitted Vorsteiner VFF108's on my 228. VFF108's were just released 2 months ago and I believe they are the first Vorsteiners to ever fit a 228/235 (although many M2's have them - and they look amazing on them ). My next project is to lower on coilovers.
Managed to snap just a few pictures but will be posting more soon. Let me know what you guys think.

Definitely. I think 255's, maybe 245's, would be an ideal setup.

just installed wheel spacers.
12mm front and 15mm rear. stock 18 inch wheels and stock m sport suspension. flush fitment all round. no pics yet sorry. but for those undecided this 12/15 works well with the stock 18s.

Where did you get the Dinan State 1 installed? I am also in the DC area and am thinking about this. |
