Default My Daily.

Been lurking on this site for a while, have a few projects going and have a list of mods but I'm not really one to show up and show off.

I'm keeping things simple and debating on what my next purchase will be. Picked this one up for a steal and have been modding it and fixing things.

I got rid of my last car (335) because I've had nothing but issues with it (vanos, cams, leaking turbos, etc etc) because I like to mod my cars.

Took some iPhone pics after getting my tires mounted. Got the wheels from Forgestar (F-05 | 19x8.5F +32 with a 245/35 | 19x10R +36 with a 275/30).

Thoughts and comments welcome.

Yes, I know I need to go lower.

Thanks. I'm on Megan LP - There's not much more room to go higher and any lower I need to shave/roll. It's because of the height on my sidewall. I got the wheels as flush as I could without going with much 'poke'.

I was a bit lower but there was rubbing going on in the rear and a bit up front when turning (slight rubbing on straight line up front). Of course I had to play with the dampening settings to get them right. The rear is as low as I can go with people in the car to not cause any rubbing; same with front.

I like this a lot. Looks very clean and simple. The GS is my daily/beater as well.

Nice looks perfect as is my GS was orginally my beater but it's far from that now. Still drive the e92 equally but I agree the BMW has not been as reliable as the GS.

Looking good. Should shave the rears to give more clearance for your rubber, otherwise
