Vorsteiner VVF-103

Here are a some pictures of the new Vorsteiner VVF-103 wheels purchased and will be on soon!

These wheels are so light that you pick them up with one hand without any hesitation! And I'm skinny!

I might be interested in your factory wheels and tires if you are selling them.

Great color combo with the new wheels.
Might consider losing the front license plate and filling the holes.
What % tint did you go to?

I am pretty sure my tint is legal. The guy I bought it from already had it tinted so I'm not sure on the % but since I haven't been stopped by the PO..PO, I think I'm good!

Wheel and Suspension installation

Wheel and Suspension installation was done last month by RRT Performance, Tuning, and Maintenance in Sterling Virginia last month and they did an outstanding job.

I decided not to go forth with the brake caliper painting at the time due to cost so will get that done at a later date.

OEM Wind deflector

Attached are pictures of my Wind deflector installation! It took some trial and error to get them on as well as additional purchases but it's completed and works well!

Mean Machine.
You can do the brake caliper paint project for $20 in supply and about 2 hours per brake caliper. Prep is verthing for a successful job but well worth the effort.
Illegal Tint.
State of MA allows 35%
I went with 20%.
For my annual inspection i juts put the top and windows down and have never had an issue.

Talking Racedeck floor installation

Hope all is well with the fellow Bimmer members out there. This weekend I put down my newly ordered Racedeck flooring that I've been eyeing for the last two years since I moved into my new house. Decided to pull the trigger and much thought and bought a new truck after selling my Lexus LS460.

Check it out, enjoy, and let me know your thoughts.

Great minds think alike. Here is my garage that I did last Sept with Racedecks sister company Big Floors Snap Lock.
It is the BEST upgrade ever for just under $1K.
