My 2010 Monaco Blue E90 335i

Good news guys. I got off this morning, decided I was gonna stay up all day and get some mess done. So I got home and loaded up the goods

Went to the tire shop and got the tires mounted.



Headed home with my freshly mounted hotboi specials


Got home and installed my new brakes all around.


Tomorrow I have an appointment set up with the fender doctor to hopefully get my fenders rolled and pulled so I can put the wheels on the car. Hoping my fenders don't have any issues because I'm ready to mount these things!!!

Fingers crossed for the reveal tomorrow! Lol

[Hugger]

Made the trip home today and picked up my wheels. Wednesday should be getting them mounted and HOPEFULLY finding someone to roll my fenders and then they'll be on. FINGERS CROSSED.

But here they are, wheels touching the tires. Closest I've been in months lol. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

Got the fuse link replaced and we're back in business. Go to work last night, go to reach for a pen in my pocket, and the clip on my small flashlight rams under the nail of my thumb that I just posted pics of. Broke the weak part of the nail off, cut my nailbed again, and underneath my nail is full of blood.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL fml


On the bright side, 2 of my tires showed up today and the other two are at the UPS store in town. We're finally almost there.

god dam, that nail peeled back pic was nasty...lol glad your updating again. sham about the problems your having with the airride, sure you will get it fixed asap.

I wanted to see how gnarly that finger was o.o

You asked. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

When it first happened and I got it under running water to clean it, panic mode engaged because my thumb hurt so bad.

When I first got to the urgent care, pieces of meat hanging off and coming out of the nail.



BAM. This is the worst one. Pulled the entire nail off and back, glued the laceration in my nailbed shut, cut the excess meat off, put the nail back on and stitched it down.

After a few days of healing

Cut the stitch to try to remove it myself after a week; nail had grown into the stitch and it was stuck. Bright side, my nail was actually still growing lol.

Went to the urgent care and he snatched the stitch out really hard, didn't hurt too bad. Still have aches and pressure pain to this day, and my nail is ugly as sin still. lol

I can't figure out how to do the hide box so everyone's just gonna have to see lol

Just ordered my tires, and the oil condition sensor & oil change to fix that. PRAISE THE LORD THE TIME HAS COME.

Then I go outside to drive my car around the building at work, and my air ride management fuse is melted to the fuse link. SO now my car is stuck at work, aired out, and I'm afraid there's a short somewhere. Lol I **** my life

Will update soon <3

Well another update that doesn't involve pics with wheels mounted lol. Working an intense amount of overtime this month to buy some goodies that are really needed.

As far as the trade of my suspension for my dream classic, I don't think it's going to happy sadly. I was offered a 1976 BMW 2002, factory A/C car with a 4-speed manual trans and the car was complete. Obviously needed a heavy restoration which I wanted to take on, but with me moving to this new place I don't have the room to store the car. So (very) sadly, I had to turn down my dream car for a once in a lifetime trade offer. Some day....

And last but not least, I am buying tires before July the 12th (today) is over. I am torn on how much stretch I want because I want the rear fender to sit in the barrel of the wheel. The wheels are 18x10.5 front, 18x11 rear. For the fronts I am going to do 225/35R18 Nankang NS-20, and for the rears I was thinking 255/35R18 Nankang NS-20's. After doing some research I don't know if 255's on the 11 will provide enough stretch for what I want. Can anyone provide some insight on that? It would be greatly appreciated!!!

P.S. I'm gonna try to find a new uploading service since photobucket decided to fuck everyone over

Another slight update. Brakes and rotors showed up, haven't gotten them installed yet but I may possibly be doing that tomorrow.

Didn't realize how big my brakes really are until these rotors showed up. These rotors probably weigh more than me altogether (190 lbs) so it's gonna be sweet. Since I'm going to have my brakes apart for the install, I may go ahead and just do a rattle can job with the calipers because I won't have time to get a powdercoating job done. Anyone ever had a good turnout with rattle can paint on brakes?

Also here's a current pic of my car with a close friends big turbo, widebody S2000



And last but not least, I have some SUUUPER exciting news regarding my E46 air ride I've been trying to sell for a year. I am possibly trading the suspension for a classic car in need of restoration. Probably my #1 dream car. I don't want to spoil anything else yet, but if it happens you guys will be the first to know.
Hoping to order tires this coming payday or next so we'll see. Fingers crossed to get these wheels on


Thanks guys! Hope to update soon with something good.

Well guys I have a slight update for you...
Started the new job, been spending all my money on furniture and stuff from moving into my new home. Finally had money saved to buy tires, and my oil quality sensor took a shit then my brake light came on the next day so ONCE AGAIN tires are on hold
On the bright side I have some nice drilled and slotted rotors and fancy pads on the way for a little extra bling factor.
My girlfriend said if I don't buy tires for myself, she's buying them for my birthday (June 16th) so I'm hoping by the end of June I might finally have my wheels on my car lol.

That's all for now. Sorry to let everyone down yet again.

Oh yeah and I got a cute ass pitbull puppy so here's a puppy pic dump

One with me and my WICKED farmers tan


And then of course the pupper sunglasses

Sweet build so far! I think the carbon trunk will tie in really well with the new wheels once you get them mounted.

BTW got any more pics of the LED Halos? I just picked up an E60 5er and wanted to get LEDs but wasn't sure if the halos would still be noticeable with the headlights on

I actually got really cheap amazon ones for Christmas, and they aren't the best as far as brightness or color. I was looking for something really bright with a slight blue tint (similar to the newer stock 3ers) and that's not what I got. Here's the best two pics I have:

Payday is in a few days, should definitely be able to purchase tires for the wheels and finally get them mounted with a slight fender roll. Got a 4-wheel alignment a few days ago and I have roughly -2.5 all around at ride height, looks to be -5 or so aired out.
Fingers crossed the wheels fit as good as I intended! Also in the process of moving like I said, so that's really slowing down progress but it should pick back up again after this weekend as I'll officially be starting the new job with a large pay raise. Stay tuned, and follow me on instagram (@_steevo) for more frequent updates and some pics!!

Thanks for the motivation fella's.
