Wow Peter you are a dead-eye on alignment!

Can I align my car with the same specs?

It'd be a shame to sell the 135s.

How do you like the 17 inchers for ride comfort vs. handling?

i love them. i shaved around 7-8lbs per corner with the Style 68s over the 135Ms - and that's unsprung weight AND rotating mass. the car just feels 'eager' - hard to describe.

i know it would be a shame to sell the 135Ms, but i like the car so much with this setup, i don't see going back to them. i dunno, maybe i'll try them out again in the spring.

thanks. i didn't expect to be that accurate!

absolutely, you should be able to get pretty close with the stock suspension. i have the stock front upper mounts, so no trickery there...

washed, waxed and detailed the exterior...for winter... LOL. i am way behind, but thankfully it's not really winter yet! i love clean, shiny imola. sorry for the crappy pic quality - iPhone was handier than my nikon.

Looks great! Try to keep it that way ;-)

ha! once the snow flies, it's going to be dirty until spring.

Nice IR example.

thanks fredo! i'm actually thinking of getting some factory chrome grills. i like the BMW Performance ones, but they just look a bit too much on imola for some reason.

good morning, sunshine!

(it's dusty already!)

Beautiful. The paint looks like it's brand new from the photos. I reaaaaaally need to do something about mine, but there hasn't been a rain-free day here since November.

I disagree with your opinion.

I disagree with your opinion.

Me too. Looks perfect on Imola.
