Difficulty fitting 225 to rears

Hmm,

You might want to consider putting your tyres by fire before going to have them fitted. They're really struggling to fit the rears. Bloody run flats!

Memories of Top Gear in Iceland are coming back! WD-40, a lighter & stand back!

Anybody had difficulties?

Shops for installing bolt on mods in NOVA

I have a N54 2007 335i coupe that I am looking to get some bolt-on mods on.

Would appreciate if folks in the NOVA region could point me to a few shops that they a had good experience with.

Thanks!

FS: 2006 Z4 M Coupe Sepang Bronze

samedi 22 novembre 2014

FOR SALE: $26,000 OBO (does not include shipping)

Mileage: 53,800 miles

Exterior: Sepang Bronze Metallic (1 of 68 in North America) , condition: 8.5 out of 10

Interior: Light Sepang Bronze extended Nappa Leather, condition: 9.5 out of 10

Overview
Having two M Coupes seemed like a great idea, but things have changed in my life, and two two-doors does not a four-door make! The car has never been tracked, never been driven in snow or salt, and driven in rain less than 10 times.

It has always been parked in heated, covered garage (as was the case with previous owner)

I'm the 3rd owner. I purchased the car and took delivery in January 2013.

Maintenance History

The prior owner bought this as a CPO car. I have his service records available and I have changed the oil+filter (myself, in April 2014 and will change before sale). I put new Michelin Pilot Super Sport XLs on it in May of 2014. No other service has been required during my ownership, as I have put about 5,000 miles on it.

The Minuses (photos will be uploaded to show detail shortly)

The prior owner did paintwork on the front, right part of the bumper/airdam and there is evidence of ground-off bodywork (that has been painted over). As part of the Pre-Purchase Inspection when I bought it, the dealership pointed this out, as well as the fact that the pop-up headlight washer cap was missing . Ihave paperwork detailing this that I am happy to share. Other records show a complaint about a loose bumper that was retightned.

Bottom line: This indicates the car either bumped into something, or was bumped into under the prior owner's watch/care.

I ordered and installed RPi Skid Plates for the "fangs" -- the fangs have minor damage from parking blocks/curbs.

The passenger-side rear bumper has a ~1.5" light scratch. Not sure of origin or timing. It is through the paint.

The driver-side rear spoiler shows an area of overbuffing or some sort of scratch along the curve. Not sure of the origin or timing. It is through the clearcoat and color, but not the primer.

The steering wheel volume button area coating is peeling. Seems to be a common issue.

There are a few minor areas where road debris have impacted the paint, but nothing has gone to metal or past the primer.

Bottom line on the above: I live in a city and drove the car on a few trips to Minnesota and Wisconsin. This was not a garage queen and I was unable to keep it 100% perfect. I am disclosing all of this here in good faith.

The Plusses

1 of 68 in this color combination in North America

Cover included.

Options*

RPi Ram Air scoop and BMC high-flow filter (stock airbox)

Stromung Exhaust

Whalen Shift Machine brushed stainless steel shift knob (similar to photo here, but with 6-speed pattern -- my own photo will be posted shortly)

DFK Section One (see images below): Includes resonators, 100-cell catalytic convertor and 300-cell catalytic convertor (see here for the entire background -- the 300-cell cats are on their way and if the car sells before mine arrives, I will ship at my own cost to you. I am running stock headers and the resonators with no check engine light issues.

*I am possibly willing to part out the mufflers, shift knob and section one as I have retained all OEM parts. All stock and aftermarket parts are included in sale if not parted out.

In Conclusion

This is a gorgeous car. I've detailed items here you may not normally see in an ad because I've been a member on this forum, and others, for a long time and plan to for some time (I am not selling my 2000 Z3 M Coupe EVER).

If you have any questions, please feel free to post here. If you want to make a reasonable offer on the car or the optional components, please PM me.

I will be updating the photos soon

DKF Section 1

DKF Resonators (cats look similar and bolt in to swap out)

M Front Strut Mount on a Non-M?

I asked this on E90 section since I have a 3-series, not 1. I didn't get many responses, so I thought I would ask here...

Is this possible? I have a non-M E90 and if I put M front strut mount, I can gain SOME shock travel?
