        Not usually a fan of Jerez but this is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly executed!

          Thanks Kevin! Once I install the ohlins, drop the rear a 1/4", dial in a little more camber, and then polish/coat the car again, I think it's gonna be perfect!

            That'll look really good.

              Some small updates before I post about my suspension changes, to keep things chronological.

              New OEM wipers for the upcoming rainy season

              New air filter. Cleaned the dust/pebble out of the housing.

              And now most importantly, at very little cost luckily, I was able to replace the worn CIC button. You can't buy this from BMW, and buying a whole new controller is $$$.

              Aliexpress to the rescue!

              Oh and I got lucky and found a like new set of Factory BMW Black Chrome grilles. I thought I grew out of blacking out things after going with a factory look on my E46, but since I'm modding my E90 in a particular way, and because I love this black chrome on my X7, I wanted to give it a try on the E90. These parts are NLA, though I did see ECS listing them for $6xx recently. I got these for $200. The differenc between these and typical gloss black (like from IND) is significant. Not cheap at all. Goes well with my not cheap E88s I think.
