    Default BMW owners?

    So this is a pretty dead forum apparently, but I figured I'd post to see what you have and if maybe there can be a few meets/cruises etc...

    Currently, I have a 2011 128i bone stock, except lowered. I also have a 2011 335 xDrive Special Edition (N55) which is bone stock(except for what the SE has that is upgraded)

    Like most guys on here, the cars won't be kept in their stock form, any and all suggestions about mods are appreciated!

    I look forward to meeting and learning from you BMW enthusiasts, I'm pretty new to them!

    I have a 2008 M3 with the ESS VT2-625 supercharger.

    If you don't have a spoiler for your 128i and want one, I can sell the one I pulled off my 135i. It's painted space grey.

    I meet with a couple of other BMW enthusiasts maybe once or twice a month during the summer and go for a short cruise.

    We are all douche bags.

    I have a 2010 E90 335i xdrive with M sport. Last of the N54's but with all the LCI goodies.

    I have KW V1 coils and a set of 19" Works XSA 02c's for the summer. I also have the Aplina B3 tcu tune on the auto tranny.

    I drive an E82.
    In the coming months I will have over hauled the suspension, wheels, added a proper LSD and a few cosmetic mods. I am currently beta testing for MHD tuning as well.

    I always wanted to do the suspension and LSD swap into my 135i.

    You can drive it at an event or two this year. I really want it to deliver a solid driving experience. Otherwise I will part it out next year and move on to something new. I think the key will be getting it on a proper square tire setup, I am going to attempt to stuff some 255/35/18s up front with some serious camber and stiff springs.

    How are you finding tire wear on your current setup with the BRZ?

    I rarely post, but often read.
    2002 M Coupe that I'm spending more money on maintenance items than mods these days. Being a grown up sucks. I'm an admitted douche.

    I'm the same way with the M, with over a 180k on the car, things are coming up on the car.

    Tire wear has been minimal. Went though about half a set of 255/40/17 Z2s last year in 10 auto x events around 10000km of street driving. Even my winters with the last month of "hooning" around haven't worn much at all.

    That is good news. I think I am going to need at least -2.5 to -3.0 degrees of camber to make my tires fit up front. Not sure if I am just going to go with a set of PSS or the new Star Specs... decisions.

    2013 BMW 328X. It has served me well. I am torn about selling it so might just keep it.
