<![CDATA[Proof that I actually do own a BMW]]>This thing has been a bit neglected over the past few months with how busy I've been with the 242, but I gave a little bit of love today. Eibach springs, Koni SAs, and the CSLs are on.

Did brakes a couple months ago and it's going to be getting a bunch of preventative maintenance shortly. This car has served as a pretty good benchmark for how well things are coming along with my Volvos. At first this car was way better and served as the ideal, but now it's lagging way behind the Volvo in pretty much every way. I guess the Volvo is pretty good now...

Anyway, I'll shut up and maybe toss occasional pictures in here in the future, but I really have very few plans for this car as far as modification is concerned. Maybe I'll post a MODZ list.

Cheap 18" tires be damned..

In general, I wouldn't have gone for an 18" wheel for this car, but I already had these here with good tires so I decided to throw them on and it turns out I like it. I also have a set of DS1s that I may throw on if I sell these.

I've got a pretty much free set of 225/40/18 tires, and before I sell them I would consider picking up some 18's for my car. I cant decide if I like 18's or 17's more...

Had 90k on it a year ago when I bought it, and this year was the first winter it has seen. 

I need to roll the rear fenders and soften up the konis a bit. They are adjusted too stiff to match these fairly soft springs.

I have Eibach springs as well and am very happy with the ride, I got mine as a kit with the shocks, the shocks have a sticker on them that says made for Eibach by Sachs.
