some thoughts....and preview coming very soon 135i w/n55
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we first get our car we start thinking about how we are going to mod it.....spending $ on our toy...what style of wheels, size, exhaust,increase horsepower..sound, suspension, etc you get the picture. Cost is usually an issue unfortunately for many including myself at times..but time gave me many different directions ideas and has changed quite a few times with the end product looking completely different then the way it looks now, but I was always going for looks as first priority as I have done in the past starting with lowering the vehicle, exhaust for sound...and slight power, satisfying cosmetic touches, and then the biggest expense "wheel's which I think is the biggest and visual change on the car. I have always liked 5 spoke styles because they had a clean design and could not mess up the oem look too much...but they usually had to be big and 5 spoke Style made the wheels look bigger especially if I had to go with smaller wheel's. The other thing was nice wheels are not cheap 4000-5000 $ just for the wheels ouch....but you really had to like em...stock usually looks good....cls, Porsche, Audi, to name a few.. And BMW 18" star look good..and stay oem "true" size is right..but to stand out and have a newness need's to be another color. Slightly matte  After the basics, started thinking about spoilers and wings sound's like food...lot's of carbon fiber stuff out there and wasn't really feeling it, never really have....on cf. But do want a new diffuser and maybe a clean fr. Splitter maybe painted matching grey or AW. Almost went with blk/white look which is pretty popular and really looks good period. But wanted to keep the car as white as possible less unavoidable factory trim color, I still think about going with blk/AW and think I can make it look real good" I see alot of gunmetal looks but usually gloss and matched with cf/blk trim Which looks ok. I think matte just looks good...like painting your house you would not want the glossy look in your room right...when I actually saw some advan rz's in gloss dark grey I thought those look good, even glossy....but I went with my plan and have yet to see the final product. Really curious to see how the wheels turn out and hear the M-gt exhaust @ AR downpipes sound together. I never planned on tracking the car or racing but just enjoying putting it all together and having fun with it.Sent from my iPad |

When the clock strikes 11:57pm, the plan for the book of the elements is plainly going to drink blue martinis and proceed with enhancing the dynamic follicles in the caboose of the train, while a round man looks toward the sky and proclaims his wife is a national treasure and does so while riding a unicycle on steroids while painting a tree interlagos blue on Saturday.

there's a couple of new innovations in the English language that really make things easier to read, periods and paragraphs.
Keep your thoughts to yourself, it's like a giant stream of consciousness and a run on sentence.
