Hey guys, long time no see lol

Okay so I haven't updated this thread in a while, reason is I hadn't really bought any mods or anything cause I've been busy saving up for them

Here's some new pics!

Getting the tank mounted. Using mdf to lay in the trunk.



In the trunk. I cut the floor into 2 pieces, the other one isn't in.



It floats! The compressor is hidden behind the tank.



Came home today and found these beauties waiting for me



Also Christof sent me this <3. Felt like including it cause its fucking awesome. I've been looking for a while.


Stay tuned, tryna get it bagged in the next couple weeks or less!

Good luck with the car man.

Perhaps your money would be better spent on maintenance than on ballet wheels?

I just picked up an87 528e. Love the car but I want to make sure the cars mechanically sound aka not using rope to hold up the exhaust lol before I put on some sick wheels.

Also consider buying a porter cable and getting that paint in better condition

I would like to do air eventually as well.

So drove down to the garage today to test fit the faces and do some measuring on how wide of lips and barrels I can run. It's pretty much all an estimation for right now. It'll be exact when the air struts are installed lol.

I don't have any lips or barrels, so for the test fit I used my friends 17'' lips to see how they sit like. Turns out its pretty good. 18s are gonna be perfecto on air.



The front wasn't compressed to much lol

seems legit

It's been holding up lol

please tell me youre gonna change those mirrors

Fuck no!

Man, you really need a 535iS airdam, the one you have is just too small.

I **** that bulky looking thing

Bags will look sick with your car. Good luck.

Also, how many coils are cut on the springs? If you know..

Thanks man. I'll let you know when I take em out haha

This thing is so cute, I like it! You're air ride setup is exactly what I was going to get, manual controls, airlift, everything. But then I decided I was poor!

Your exhaust hanger is sick btw, mine is zipties.


I'm gonna say only 2 are left up front and more then half of the entire spring in the back. Basically no travel in the front, that's how mine is anyway. Cut springs all day.

Haha thanks bro!
I'm pretty poor, saving up for everything...I have a hard time trying to save up though

Okay small update nothing serious, I keep getting set back fml lol.

Ended up sandblasting the wheels cause I wanna go with a different color than silver, something thats gonna match the color better. I'll get a pic of those later this week.

I havent driven the car in 5 days ever since the exhaust hanger broke, so I got under the car today and temporarily mended it real quick




Found out that the car is insanely loud not only cause the muffler fell off but also since the cat is busted wide open hahaha




Gave her a proper bath afterwards, it's been a little while.




Look at her, how could you not love her <3 haha
