Intro:
Hey Guys,
6 months ago I purchased a white 87 325is. I knew what I wanted and took my time finding it. Although sure of my wants, I had no f***ing clue what I didn't know. So, Thank you to anyone who contributes here, as I've spent countless hours scouring for information and you have helped tremendously. That being said, I'm surprised that for some when you receive your doctorate in BMW mechanics(or any other), suddenly you also have a doctorate in A$$HOLE. HAHA! So, also thank you to those who give their advice kindly. It goes a long way, Really. Ps. I'm a recovered A**hole, with a minor in sarcasm.
Upon purchase the car already had...
-Short shift with DSSR
-HnR Springs with Bilstein shocks
-Ground Control Camber Plates
-Upgraded MAF
-Late Model bumper conversion
-15" Euroweaves
After really digging into the car, and finding hack after hack I have things sorted, well sort of...
The Current Build
- IE slotted/drilled rotors with performance pads - huge difference
- Currently have an M20 3.1 stroker motor being assembled my Motor Works Inc. in San Diego
- MSPNP - waiting for final parts before attempting this install
- Ground Control Coilover set up - waiting for delivery, Over 30 days now : /
- Rear Adjustable Subframe with new bushings from Garagistic - also still waiting over 30 days for delivery : /
- Apex Arc 8 17" wheels
- Custom aluminum side skirts, wing & rear diffuser
Vendor Question
As I mentioned above, It's been 30 + days since i made 2 purchases with 2 different vendors. Initially, I didn't receive an email from either company regarding the amount of time to expect for delivery. As a business owner myself, this practice is confusing. After emailing both vendors questing when I would receive parts, I received reply emails. Only now we have surpassed the stated delivery time frame by one week for both Garagistic and Ground Control with no additional contact from either company.. Is this normal? Trying to manage my expectations here. Do I need to be more patient, or is this unreasonable?
Peace!
