    Thank you!

    Just looking at these pictures now makes me want to get it out of the garage despite the cold and all the salt on the roads.​

    I ditched the HIDs for the basic halogens. I just love the twin reflectors, my nod to the heritage (plus a few pounds off the nose). Hard to pick up in the photo, but I also lightly tinted the chrome grills and corner lights. I may have to go a shade darker on the grills but corner lights are exactly what I was going for, still OEM, just knocked the bling off.

    Threw the new track wheels on. Trying out the square 265/35 stretched on 10.5” width wheels. Previously ran 275/35 on 10” wide ARC8 square setup. These forged 18x10.5 VS-5RS are actually lighter than the smaller ARC8 they replaced.

    really like this color.

    Snapped a couple of photos outside my building after a car show in June. Getting back into shooting with a real camera after a decade of just relying on my cell phone. ​

    We're up in Eagle Rock, we got evacuated early on but we're back in our house with power now. My parents in La Cañada went back to their house today. We'll see what happens now since the winds are supposed to pick back up over the next couple days. I know so many people in Altadena, basically the next town over, that lost houses, it's fucking tragic. But yea my family is safe. Thanks for checking.

    Fantastic shots. I especially love the CSL front end coupled with a perfect lowering job with some crazy dished wheels. So many people don't have an eye for proper suspension heights in BMW M land. The front should have more gap than the rear as BMW delivered from factory. Dragster rake all too common.

    Well done!
    Thanks man! It's on swift springs with MCS dampers and corner balanced so the suspension is functional at that height too. I agree, a lot of people run too much rake.
