    Spending more money!

    Thanks Bavarian Autosport SSK! You're shifter broke off of my transmission!



    this happened last Thursday night, so i put in a Z4 3.0. This shifter is super short, its pretty nice with all new bushings and bearings and what-not too. It can be a little notchy, but the heavy UUC knob makes it a lot more tolerable. Here are some pictures of it in NEUTRAL, FIRST, and SECOND (in that order).









    I just finished putting in brand new fog light lenses and bulbs. These made the front end look soo much better, the old ones were gross.

    OLD: (the cracks in the one are hard to see, the other had a hole and was filling with rusty water)


    NEW:


    I also bought New BFG G-Force Sports to replace the worn out ones. Fronts are 205/45/17, rears are 215/45/17



    Dude, fuck spending money on this car. I'm broke as hell. hahaha

    Very nice shifter! I have a Z3M shifter and it has about the same amount of travel. Absolutely sick :D
    This is your M20 on steroids:

            I like my M-Roadster one, but people say its way too notchy. I'd reccomend the Z4 and the like.

            Might upgrade to the Z4 M, was very nice in the car itself, but I'm sure it'll be different once in the E30.

            Also, as far as spending money, I've spent almost $550 this week alone. Can't wait to get it on the car though...

              Too bad I'm in Germany right now because I have a Z3 shifter (the one I took out of my car and replaced with the UUC evo3) and the extra UUC DSSR just sitting in my basement back in America.

              Oh well, at least you got some new stuff.

                Yeah, when the lenses get like that, it reminds me of toenail fungus.

                But look at it this way- The more money you spend, the nicer the car will be.

                  I hear you Andy, but I'm about to spend a couple grand on some wheels and a couple sets of tires.

                  It almost looks like your other lense needs replacing now though.
                  Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                    whatch you talkin' 'bout jeff? I did both of them! one side of the car is in the shade, maybe thats it

                    Chris, consider that DSSR mine!

                    The Bav Auto shifter was one of the few mods the car had already when i bought it. I have the receipt for it, I think it was installed sometime in 1997.

                    Kevin, no plans to sell at this moment.

                    next up is my Split second MAF conversion. We'll see how that goes...

                    I also replaced both highbeam (one was out) bulbs, both tail light gaskets and all the bulbs in my tails today. Its the little shit like that that makes me strangely happy, haha.

                        Truth. They are way too wide for my 28 inch waist, im looking into getting a new set soon.

                          Do you need reclineables?

                            No, the rollbar kind of prevents lateral movement. I'm looking into Recaro SPG's

                              I heartily recommend Cobra Imola S's.
