Greetings from Finland!
Would like to tell you a bit about my BMW. I bought this coupe over a year ago its year 2008, with three liters diesel, but with he shiest engine control so the model is 325
About the interior, well nothing special, iDrive, black half-leather sport seats and a roof window. Exterior was completely stock when i got the car but have done some fixes more about them later. Im telling you now a pretty long story of the car so make yourself comfortable and enjoy.
If we start with some pics from the day i bought the car
After i got my driving license i bought all new suspension to replace the stock M-Sport suspension, my choice was BC Racing V1 after many hours i gave up and faced the fact that the shock absorbers were too short in the front so i ordered new shorter absorber and springs.
At the same time i had bought new wheels for the car. Some BBS LM-r replicas with specs 19x8.5 and 19x10 ET35 in both. In the rear i putted 17mm spacer to poke the wheels, but did have time to do the same before the finnish winter came
Here is the only good shot of the car before the winter
Wintermode was pretty simple wheels was BMW's OEM Style 187 17x8 ET34 all around, rear with the same 17mm spacer.
As you can see in the pictures i had also bought a new front bumper, M3-look and a small spoiler on the boot.
On the late winter, i had talked a lot with Wray from the CCW about ordering Classic's when suddenly i heard that one guy here in Finland is selling he's CCW's from a bagged E92. The decision was clear. I bought them and started to re-polish them after lying over the winter in a garage. Specs are 18x9 ET22 and 18x11 ET32 Some wheelporn
When the snow smelted down and the sun began to shine almost as bright as the CCW's shined it was time to screw down the suspension and enjoy the low life again but with more aggressive and a thousand times more beautiful rims than last season that have been brought a bit more out with 5mm spacers. Then a bit more and much better pictures
Then i did get pissed of with the brushed aluminum finnish inside so i decided to try something different. I wrapped the with carbon fiber look, but don't be scared its not that ordinary all black, wait for to see the pics
at the same time i installed new gear knob, handbrake grip, door sils and a footrest all with ///M-look. Of course the steering wheel also got the ///M-trim but not seen in the pictures.
After all this it was pretty much just driving around and trying to find the right height. Later a professional photographer wanted to take some pics of my car here is something to show
After all this it happened a small accident and the car was lying like this for about two months
Luckly got also something done at the time when the car looked like than, painted my brake, ordered new pads and made a new exhaust here's again same pics
Then the Finnish stance society's largest community called No Pokemon Shit (maybe someone has heard about it before) was keeping their every year event called the Big Meet and i really, really wanted to go. So i took my stock bumper from the garage, my warped hood and the cracked front fender and putted then on The fender was tagged so the grind marks would be so visible and thats pretty much what the car looks like atm, BUT on this weekend i will get my old M3-look bumper, a new hood, a new fender and brand new M3-skirts from my painter
Here is some pics from the NPS Big Meet
