Sorry to keep everyone out of the loop...it' been so hectic lately with future plans, work, and trying to finalize this build....but without further adieu...

Painted the base of the mirrors gloss black

Shaved reflectors on the front bumper

Toyo T1Rs 255/30/21 & 295/25/21

Car is coming out the shop tomorrow....unfortunately, there isn't enough time to pick up the new wheels, mount the tires and install the coilovers tomorrow so we'll have to do the coils next Monday

BMW BRAD · 01-20-2012, 12:46 AM

Nice build, car looks good and "The Wheels",,,, So Dope.

Got to get me some of them,,,,,,,

aznazasin · 02-05-2012, 04:22 PM

Sorry for the long wait everyone...Finally picked up the car on Friday...got the wheels reassembled with a 4.5" lip downsized from a 5" lip. Meisterschaft GT2 exhaust was installed Friday morning...no joke, sounds like a Ferrari

Here are some iPhone pics before a complete write up and photoshoot

Arrival of the Meisterchaft GT2 exhaust last monday. Excellent craftsmanship and the customer service was nothing short of extraordinary. The section 3 piece fit like a glove once installed

couldn't wait to let it RIP!!!

Once installed...

Before and After pic:

Next to my boy's Panny...also the owner of TheShop

Pic from last night at The W with a few friends

MFest coilovers will be installed on Monday followed by an alignment and oil change...stay tuned

GTHAUS · 02-09-2012, 11:07 AM

Dear Benjo,

We love you & your car.

Your friends,

GTHAUS

Seriously though, car looks great!

aznazasin · 02-17-2012, 01:00 AM

Quick update for everyone...got an invitation yesterday from Universal regarding a casting call for the FAST AND THE FURIOUS 6 film so I'm headed out to the studios tomorrow to meet with the producers about potentially using the car as a prop :excited:

The newest mod installed are the MFEST coilovers...still needs a final adjustment to lower the rear more...Definitely loving the ride quality...a lot better than expected and not bouncy at all

Gave it a quick wash today and busted out the tripod to get some nicer noob pics LOL...hope they'll suffice until the actual photoshoot is done

Rear shot to show the booty

Nice view of the Meisterschaft GT2 Exhaust

by far the best sounding exhaust for the S85 engine IMO

side profile of the beast

and 1 last shot of the rear

mr. 535i · 02-17-2012, 04:56 AM

I have to agree with you, the exhaust sounds awesome. I just ordered a set for my 535 from jerry at gthaus. They even gave me a good deal on some custom oval tips. Customer service is second to none.

Jerry is the MAN!!! His name is synonomous with Customer Service

You're bound to love the sound
