Today we upgraded the wheels!
We ended up sourcing a set of 15" BBS RZ wheels from a local VW enthusiast. After about 2 hours of cleaning, 5 hours of sanding, 4 new BBS caps and 5 coats of paint/clear, we have a pretty nice set of wheels and tires.

Today we upgraded the stock audio system!
In an attempt to maintain the stock appearance, we worked with JL Audio and Luke at German Audio Specialties to come up with a stealth solution.

The current M42 runs great. Once we find a good donor for my E36 M3 project, we will be swapping the M42 with our low mileage S52!
