Oh. I see someone has too much money on their hands....

And too much time not stealing ACS gauge clusters from other people for me. Get back to work, lazy bum!

lol - I'm the guy with too much money? I'm not the owner of a mov'it equiped boosted S52b32!

the last kit was bought by Lou, the second to last was taken by my brother for my 323is. :)

besides, your tach would be waaay off....work out a way to get the V1 remote into a dimming mirror and we'll talk. :D

rear diffuser, it fits between the exhaust pipes on the rear bumper... promotes better aero dynamics

Have you guys seen the Hamman rear diffuser? It's pretty cool and has a little wing that's suppose to help with downforce?? but it looks pretty cool but doensn't come in CF.

one of my friends has it on his phoenix yellow M3, it's adjustable, you can turn the flap up and down(for downforce...with screws)...to be honest it looked way too ricey! :confused: oh well, to each his own!

I think for the $1299 sticker price you could find something better looking to put on your phoenix yellow m3

It is alot of money, but it's carbon fiber.

Will I buy it? More than likely... tempted to buy one now.

Will I be stuck eating macaroni and cheese for a few weeks after I buy it... you better believe it.

Will I sit out in my garage at night staring endlessly into the glimmer of the carbon fiber? You're damn right I will...

Marwan, are you talking about the BIG ASS adjustable wing or the rear diffuser. It's pretty subtle but has a little "wing" in the middle. Here's the best pic I could find quickly showing the adjustable big ass wing and the rear diffuser. Now if it only came in CF.

Hey, do the screws on the chrome area come out or are they purely plastic decorative things? Can the CF be separated?

I ask because I'm not a big fan of chrome but if the holes could be filled and that chrome frame thingy painted body color........hmmm.

the screws drill into the rear bumper cover, they are purely funtional. The C/F is bonded to the inside portion of the diffuser and the wing is composed of C/F. I don't think it can be seperated.

I'm sure you can scuff up the chrome and paint it, but I'm not playing with mine. :)

Aus,

I want to get 19" Type III Racing rims, but I'll wait a while first. I ordered the 19" forged factory wheels so I'll pimp those for awhile. Most importantly, I want to be sure that the ACS rims will fit the BBK I have planned.

Suspension work may go the route of a Bilstein PSS9 kit or an H&R Coil Over kit, I'm not sure yet.

Since I don't plan on taking the car to work too often (Newark), the wheels and suspension firmness isn't an issue (I like when my kidneys bleed...you should see my 323is).

also, you need to add:
M3 folding mirrors
Supersprint center pipe..supposedly gets rid of the rasp

Rich, no e-mails yet... rhakim@generalbusinesscorp.com - try it again.

the center pipe replaces the resonators I'm guessing?
