Great pics Sir.

US plates look so much better than the UK plates. Much cleaner.

Cars look immaculate. Shots show how well proportioned they are compared to E90 imo

[AP3X_FTW]

Thanks. In order to match my suede steering wheel and suede SMG boot I picked up a CSL suede e-brake handle.

LOL True. I want my OEM CSL roof, Cams, SS Stepped headers and Im done bro. Im also going to swap out my GC Coils for the new OHLIN RT setup. Im almost done modding my car to the way I want it then it'll be a garage queen :)

Ah I see, so it is the handbrake lever assembly.
I always thought e-brake is the electronic handbrake that newer BMWs have (i.e. X5 E70).

Cheers

for the new OHLIN RT setup

Do you have any info about this ?

[0-60Motorsports]

Here you go mate:

Anything else feel free to ask but those Ohlins Look awesome.

[CraigMillwardCroft]

All that sued looks nice but you will have to clean your hands all the time, so it does not get oily hands on it.

Its not so bad, between me not eating in the car and our unusually good weather in Southern California it stays pretty clean with little effort. I've had the suede for about 7 months and it still looks and feels great. In the end it is a consumable piece and will be replaced every couple years.

Nice Car :D

Nice car.... Welcome to the Forum :thumbs:
