  • Trunk Impaired

    Hey guys, I've been a StanceWorks lurker for a little while now and I've decided to join. I'm from southwest Virginia and I'm a student on basically a shoestring budget so try not to laugh or be too mean.

    Guess it's time to post some pictures of the 318ti (they're all iphone shots so don't expect like DSLR quality), it's daily driven and nothing special really.

    This is how it looked when I first got it:





    Then I got some Mille Miglia II's





    I liked the look and concavity but I didn't have enough money for coilovers and a fender roll so I decided to get another set. (I may still use the MMII's for a winter set) They're BBS RZ412 17x8.5 in the rear and BBS Style 5 16x8 in the front. Previous owner had a full set of RZs but had an accident and one was badly damaged, he sold me 3 RZs and 2 Style 5s for the front. Several months went by and by chance I found a guy on BFC selling a spare RZ, so I now have a full set.







    After buying the spare I bought some ZKWs:







    Next I bought some Mtech door moldings, black AC Schnitzer mirrors, and a ZCC kit which I haven't installed yet.





    Still working on getting the ZCC kit installed (there are a few kinks to installation as it was designed for the sedan or coupe, also need to get the fenders rolled) and I still need to get all the RZs refinished and on rubber. Feel free to give me any input on how it looks so far or what I should do in the future. Mtech front and rear bumpers are already in the works.

          Rear shock mounts (gotta get the "tall" variant from bimmerworld) also the spring seats are different between coupe/sedan and Ti but I haven't really gotten in there to see if that's going to be a problem. It's not too much as far as I can see but if the spring seats are different I may have to order some coupe/sedan ones and retrofit. Main issue is the tall RSMs though (I'm currently broke )

          It'll get better, even just the drop will do wonders for the overall look. Sorry to disappoint haha

              I agree 100%, it was the first thing I noticed when the set went on and I used that as motivation to save for and pursue another BBS RZ so I could get them changed out ASAP. I think the initial idea was that having bigger sidewalls in the front would give the illusion that they are 17s. They look better with the car lowered, but once the car is lowered I'll have all of the RZs refinished and rerubbered. Hopefully

                    RZs are beautiful and extra hard to find (3 out of the 4 I own were on Rusty lol the 4th was an absolute bitch to source), but don't bother with the M3 swapped ti, trade it for a stock ti with cash on top and do an SR20det swap that's my plan over the summer.

                          The M tech bumper looks great on that car. I can't wait to see the coilovers installed!
