Are you changing the master cylinder? Wondering about brake bias.. you’re keeping the ABS yes? Does IE have any advice there?

Keeping ABS, since I bought both the front and rear the bias should be ok, but its definitely something I am going to look at after I drive it.

As for the master I am not sure yet. Since I am swapping to a 2002 booster to fit next to the S54 I havent decided what to do with the master yet.

Suggestions? I dont think I have seen many wilwood kits connected to the 2002 booster so I havent found much data yet on what to do there.

[Staszek]

That’s just perfect. def getting Wilwoods for my Alpina wheels

Doesn’t it feel terrific having that rear end all refreshed?! Nothing like it

Yes, and best of all NO POKE!!

Man, those wheels look awesome! Definitely refinishing mine the same way!

Thanks, they look even better in the sun, look slightly darker in the garage but when the sunlight hits them they sparkle, he put a little bit of metallic in the paint.

Are you going to paint the lower trim black like it is originally? Do you have SEM trim paint for it? Love this build

[bradnic]

Yeah man - SEM 39143 Trim Black FTW

I’m going to paint it OEM black for now. Once the MTech II kit is installed you won’t see the lower half anyway.

SEM trim paint is the best way to go honestly to make it look OEM

I also mounted the new speakers into the premium sound mounts, the old speakers were not even in there.

How hard was it to swap in the speakers? I know the 5.25" are "easy" but how hard were the tweeters. I need to swap mine soon

Really easy for those polks. I just popped the screen off them and they fit in pretty perfectly. I just put some glue into secure.

Thanks for the info about the speakers, what model are they?

Also, whats your plan for a badge? No badge? Discreet 332i badge? something else?

They were Polk DB 5251, think they are old models now bought them at the end of 2015.

Here is a link I found on amazon.

Sound pretty damn good for a cheap component set. I put the same ones in the front too.

So I’m leaving the 325is badge more of a sleeper look. I do have an MTech grill badge though.

Sweet! Thank you
