The ugly duckling; my BMW 135i build.

Thanks!

Exciting news; the Porsche is being shot for Eurotuner magazine! Just got the email, needless to say I'm damn excited.

I thought Eurotuner was done a few months back. Ps I also have some OEM E46 M3 19's we can try. If you've never tried anything in the +35 offset you should do it. On my CLK everyone on the forums said that only an 8.5+32 is what fits and that at +20 it's stretching it. I fit some 19x9.5+25 nicely up front. Let me know if you want to stop by and fit a wheel.

ohhh man that thing is a beauty

Picking it up next week or so!

And quick update; I was driving through downtown and some idiot opened their door while I was driving past and destroyed my front fender. And because it was rush hour I couldn't stop right away, so I drove around the block and they drove off So that means today I'm getting it buffed out and maybe my fenders pulled.

Here's my car like 5 minutes before that happened though, enjoy haha.



and a shot of my interior colour;



Sorry for yet another rather useless bump, big plans are coming. Let's just say I've sent a couple of emails

On a really exciting sidenote; my family just put the down-payment on this 964 . I will be adding little blurbs about it every once in a while, but it's practically fully built already. Only thing we're changing are the seats and the steering wheel. And probably lowering it a little more. Oh and removing the gross tailight tint.

The 964 was a big project by Pfaff Tuning.
The rebuild started with a full, glass out respray in factory Guards Red. All exterior seals and trim were replaced with brand new pieces. A complete bolt in half cage by Das Sport was then painted body colour and installed. A complete rebuild of the brake calipers was performed and then refinished in gloss black, aswell as a front brake cooling duct modification in order to keep things nice a cool. Complete new adjustable coilover suspension, and adjustable sway bars front and rear by H&R was installed. New RS door panels, and new Porsche mats were installed. Custom 3 piece Rotiform NUE wheels cut to fit the 964's specifications on Pirelli P zero tires complete the cosmetic rebuild. The engine was removed and completely rebuilt with new seals and gaskets, clutch inspection and new Fabspeed exhaust. The standard features on the vehicle include sunroof, power windows locks and cruise control.

sucks that you're forced to run such high offset wheels, what's the fun in that? Good luck with your build, I love these cars.

Cheers Tom!

And yeah it does suck, but it is what it is. Running 10 or 10.5 width in the back should fix the lip problem quite nicely though

Man I cannot wait for this build to unfold! I actually cannot agree with you any more than that...I **** the carbon fiber 'paint' as well. Looks like your taste is going to make this build a very good one. Can't wait for more. I'll definitely be following this closely so hopefully I don't annoy you with too many comments or anything.

[Daffy]

Hey I know exactly what you mean! I drive an E21 and most people believe the E30 was the first three series. So your rant was welcomed haha.

I do have to agree with skunkworx though!! and a CSL trunklid probably is not helping at all but now i'm curious to see what it'll look like on your car.

All in due time my friend! Here's what the trunklid looks like on an E82, I'd have my painted to match because I personally **** carbonfibre body panels.

Sub'd for sure! My friend has one of these and they haul ass and they look amazing. Cant wait to see what is in store for this beauty!

Thanks! Yeah they're a hell of a lot of fun to drive. I don't regret selling my Jeep and buying one of these in the slightest.

We tried one of my style 5's on the rear of Daffy's car. Outlook = no good.

Yep. Well that and the centrebore is wrong and so is the wheelsize, but still

Oh and as for an update; this should hopefully be happening again soon.

Glad you would have found that as an exception haha. I literally didn't even check for offset specs. I knew they were different and that was what had initially stopped me from commenting with that but after reading through your thread again while waiting for my second class of the day to start I couldn't remember why I had stopped so I said it...whoops.

Cheers Neil!

And no worries at all man, most people don't know much about these cars. I've gotten so many 'oh I like your E90' comments on my car, then followed by a look of shock when I say it's a 1 series. (My car is debadged, it throws people off). Then that is followed up with questions about how fast it is, and for some strange reason most can't put together that the same engine as an E90 in a smaller and lighter body makes my car a little faster. I like it though, it gets the word out there about these amazing cars.

hurry up would ya?

I'm trying as fast as my budget lets me ):

Looking at a CSL trunklid isn't helping haha.

[skunkworx]
