Day 2. (1 - 19 - 13)

Got my fronts installed at the local shop on Friday, and then that evening my friend Michael and I attempted to dial it in. After a lot of swearing, time, and C Clamps we finally managed to get the rears almost all the way down (~ 4 threads left). The fronts are all the way down.

Hopefully the rest of my backthreads will be gone by Tuesday, but for now here is a video of the adjustments and a picture to keep you going.

For now I'm just going to ride around on stock wheels until I can afford new ones

The built title is really inappropriate, because this is the best looking BMW in the past 20 years
But the photos are great, and I can't wait to see more.
Good luck with the build!

I love it as well, I just know some people don't agree. But thank you for the kind words!

title - terrible choice

car- faaaannntastic

Thank you as well! Pffft I prefer this title to naming my car though, had to spice things up a little bit

Hello there!

As some of you may know; I have been an active member on this forum for a little while. But until recently I haven't really had any reason to start a build thread do to my insane lack of parts. Well I finally treated myself to some ST Coilovers and some spacers for Christmas, so let the build commence.

Firstly here is my platform sitting bone stock. It's a 2009 N54 motor BMW 135i with the M-sport package. I picked it up with 14,000 miles, and it is now sitting at about 18,000 six months later. It is my daily, so don't expect anything too extreme here okay



Secondly here is a brief (and most likely impossible to finish) list of things I'd like to get finished before the end of this summer;
- JB4 PNP
- DP's
- Intercooler
- Rotiforms (High hopes, I know)
- Fenders pulled+rolled
- Lots of other things that no one will notice

For the record I am on quite the tight budget, so please don't expect updates to happen rapidly. I will always check the thread to answer any questions anyone has, so please just feel free to ask!

Day 1. (12 - 30 - 12)

Got the rear suspension installed with a friends dads' help, the biggest pain in the ass was reinstalling the damn trunkliner.

Trunkliner all removed!



Pictures of the setup we used to get everything in and out;




Comparison between the ST coils and the OEM ones;



Finally got them in! Oh and don't mind the sketchy piece of wood



Anddddd repeat on the drivers side.



Fronts should be coming on later this week along with pictures of how the car sits with them on

Cheers!
