My 2013 F30 335i in Estoril Blue

[thesull]

I don't really like the look from the tinted side to the normal colour of the car.. But the car in general is just so freaking clean. Love it! Well done m8!

That is what i was thinking as well! The tint is affordable to play with a couple variations. I already peeled off that side and am going to revisit the colour this weekend and see iff i like it with both. Otherwise I will do a euro look with the yellow tint.

The interior swap will start tomorrow. I am cleaning the new interior tonight and wiping it down. Recaro M4 seats are not here yet. Sad.

Looks awesome. I swear that was a quick transition from a stock car.

Thanks man! I get bored rather easy if I don't start modding my car. Since I literally drive around in my car for my work, I like to enjoy where I am most of my day.

I love your progression of E30-E36-E46-E90-F30 haha.


Looks amazing, now we just need some pictars with the Vossens

It has been a fun progression to say the least! Das pictars are posted of the Vossens!

Wow bud. Well done!!

Thanks man! Appreciate it!

Tonight's project was a little iffy. Still not 100% sure I like it... Going to have to sleep on it...

Started by cleaning up my surface and taping off the area. Getting it ready.


Then cam the fun part of putting it on which I didn't even take one picture because I had so much...fun.



Comparing a side to not tinted side:


Let me know your thoughts on this film. I think it compliments the car but I am not 100% pleased with it... May order a little more and try my luck again. I learned a lot the first go and got it to lay down after two hours, a heat gun, a drink or two, and some burnt arm hair from the heat gun...

So the weekend flew by! I had to go to Philly and pickup my car from @GintyFab. His quality of work is top notch.

The car's quality of ride is superb. It doesn't feel harsh and the Michelin tires make it so smooth!

Don't judge, it was an end cap parking spot! Promise I am not a two-spot douche unless it is in the VERY back of a parking lot.


Had to gas up for the trip home! Still managed to get 29.6 mpg with the new wheels! Normally got 32-34mpg


Once we got home she deserved a bath. She had treated me right ha!


Then some shameful product placement. This stuff is magical for making the windows look great!



Overall very impressed with the ride quality of the setup!

Testing fitting the wheels and making sure it is sitting correctly.

Well things have progressed well with my build. AirDynamiks proved to be a little troublesome on getting the right parts for the struts but in the end the results are good. This is what happens when you go into the area of the unknown and want to be in there in the first wave.

The 3H system works great and the sensors are aligned and calibrated.



After being worked on, she needed a bath.

Update overdue!

Well, I had been hording parts and waiting until it warmed up some to start on the air ride. The last month has been fun to say the least with headaches here and there on the process.


All my work is being completed by the talented GintyFab outside of Philly. Amazing quality, communication and commitment to detail. His level of attention to detail in wiring and making sure every bit is presentable is top notch.

I decided to go with the AirLift 3H system with ride height leveling provided by OpenRoad Tuning working with Paul & Andrew.


Will be running a dual compressor setup with a seamless 5GAL tank that will be custom painted in Estroil Blue with custom powder coated straps in black.


I decided to go with a unique look on the wheels since I am in the north and we have snow.


Nah, actually decide to go with a Vossen CVT wheel setup wrapped in Pilot Sport tires. Running OEM TPMS sensors in the wheels as well.

Setup:
20x9
20x10.5

Spent my weekend enjoying the weather and pampering the gal.

First we started off with a bubble bath..


Then I got out the motorsports logos, which wasn't an easy task.


I cut rubbing alcohol with a 50/50 or 75/25 mix. This was to lubercate the surface area to slide the 3M material around without it sticking right away. Using a rubber squeegee is important and not a plastic one so you don't scratch the flat black. Most sign shops do this process as well.

The sun started to go down rather fast so light was important. Took me roughly 45 minutes per side taking my time and using a heavy gun to properly remove bubbles.


Then the passenger side:
*Notice it is hanging there not fully applied! Had to grab a picture as I knew the sun was fading.


Then came the last little project for this weekend. I acquired a M4 Carbon Fiber spoiler. With a little sanding and prep work it fit great with a very thin seam. Using 3M double sided tape, cleaning the surface area with pure rubbing alcohol then apply adhesive promoter made this project a breeze. The lining it up was the only part that took time.

Jesus christ. Actually?!

Yea, I am on the road for work all the time. Just bought the 2013 F30 with 7k miles CPO and put 25k miles on the car in the past 7 months... I average about 1000+ miles every week :/

In the E36 only replaced the motor once and I think every part at least 3 times! Locals and friends called it the Million Mile M. It is the black one at the top.

[96E36]

Me too! Every time I sell one of them, I miss them a little more than the last. The E36 had a million miles on her 986,xxx anyways...

Jesus christ. Actually?!

Got a couple small updates. Going for the OEM+ look and will add some other items to the interior soon as well. Pictures always help though right?

Carbon fiber mirror caps installed and license plate came a day later...
