Hey guys,
So ive had my car for a little over a year now, probably a little late to be doing a build thread, but here it is. Got it as a 1 owner car with 97k miles from Tucson, AZ. Bought it sight unseen through work and prayed that it was a clean car.
Luckily it showed up and it was. A few minor things, but nothing major. It was missing a mirror cap, had a few door dings, and most notably a key mark from the passenger door to front fender. All things considered....not too bad for a 15 year old car.
The day i bought the car i put in an order for Broadway Static 500s coilovers. i had them on my e46 and absolutely loved them, so broadways was the logical choice. A few weeks later i picked up a set of 20" style 32s from the E65 7 series and got some tires not long after and threw them on the car with stock suspension as i waited for the broadways to show up.
I managed to find some jaguar rear tables at a junkyard. Took those and wrapped them to match my interior trim which i had wrapped in grey wood vinyl.
A month or so later the broadways show up. I installed them that weekend and immediately when for slammed height and didnt look back.
Drove around like that for a while, then the week of Bimmerfest West comes around. I decided to go half an inch lower in the rear. So i did.
On the way to bimmerfest one of my tires debeaded because of low air pressure and bent my wheel enough to no seal properly. So i drove to bimmerfest on a stock and changed the wheel at the show and lowered my suspension to where it was supposed to be.
SEMA rolls around and broadway just released that they will be making bags, of course i am eager to jump on board. It was the original idea that my car would be on air in the first place, but my budget didnt allow it at the time. So i have a long talk with Jaze about cars, bags, and other random shit over a few drinks in the luxor.
Not much more modifications happened since it was car show season. Later in the year my buddy lent me his 6 series wheels (which im still on right now). i got some wind deflectors, VIP puddle lights, and i am in the process of rewrapping my interior trim.
At the end of January i put in my order for Broadway Pneumatic bags. I am the only person to have them on the west coast, and one of 2 people to have them that werent installed at the Broadway Suspension shop. I will be using Airlift V2 management with a custom trunk setup. I have already started work on my trunk, but im not gonna share pictures just yet. Car should be bagged with the trunk setup around the end of february or early march.
