    She's baaaack



    Finally got the car where I want it (for now). BC coils, all new lighting, Mark D chip, and a slew of maintenance. Bodywork, e90 paint code respray, and RS reps were done over the winter. Comments appreciated.

      Is that a retractable antenna?

        Antenna gets stuck mid travel. Hit it with wd40 10 minutes after these pics were shot, all good now

          Oh so it's a stock one that gets stuck? That's what mine does. It doesn't affect reception and it looks better that the stock R/C one lol. I was just hoping you had found a cool retractable shorty one that worked because I like having it retract when not in use unlike the Z3 one.

            Beautiful car and color!!! One pet peeve of mine though is misaligned trunk badges. I'd realign them to the factory location. I know there is a diagram floating around that I used that gives u the exact measurements....other than that she's a beaut!!!

              The badges kill me. Body shop did it without consulting me. Afraid to remove them and risk damaging the paint

                Did they reapply the old badges or use new ones? If new they should come off easily if they were recently put on.

                  Old ones were re-affixed with a amber colored adhesive similar to gorilla glue
