    I did not realize this had BBS LM's. Favorite wheel of all time.

    Didn't know they made this in 4x100. 17" or 16"?

      Thanks! They are 16’s.  I have a set of 17” ACT wheels also that look good, but the BBS’s are my favorite...

      BC, ITB’s would be awesome!  Mark did the dyno tuning when the previous owner built the motor.  As it sat before the BBTB, it put down 274hp at the wheels on 93 octane. The ZF320 mates well with the 2.92 rear end too; nice easy revs on the highway with plenty of snap.  

      You’ll have to take it for a spin next time we get together!

            Thanks! The cams are good all around.... low end torque suffers a bit, but doesn’t affect drivability at all.  The engine really wakes up above 4,000 rpms when the cams and vanos are working together 😁

                  Looking forward to the E30 picnic! 

                  The old girl just got back from the paint shop after  having the rear valance and side skirts fitted.

                  Valance is DTM. Expense, terrible fit, horrendous finish, but enough sanding, refining, and a good paint job, it turned out pretty good!  I wish there was more options for the diving board cars.

                  Side skirts are from a Ford Taurus, trimmed and fitted.  Really happy with the outcome, and super easy.

                  I also fitted a set of Konig Lace wheels I refinished in a gunmetal metallic paint.  No entirely sold on the look, I think I prefer the BBS wheels a bit more

                  Overall, I think this exactly how I wanted the car to come together...subtle with a touch of attitude.  See ya at the picnic!

                    I think BBS mesh wheels would be an improvement. Car looks great.

                    What color is it? Zinno?

                         I’ll take a pic with the BBS wheel and take it to a vote!

                        Yep, Zinno... although the respray is a touch darker

                          Comparison photos, 17” Konig vs 16” BBS.... what does everyone think? 

                          I think if I had shadowline trim, the Konig’s would look better...

                            BBS by a mile. LMs have been my long standing favorite aftermarket wheel since NFS Underground.

                                          I didn't realize this s52 was modified the way it was, and I'm glad to see someone else with a high power s52! 

                                          The cams really do come on around 3500-4k, I've had people ask if it's turbocharged haha. 

                                          New suspension should be awesome!
