some updated pics
don't hold ur breath, but here's how it look after the last mod for now. Next on the list will be BBK or pulley/chip. and Yes, I'm officially insane...with mods.
Compare to the last pics I've shown. I've added: front Euro impact strip, Carlsson hood/trunk emblems, new tail lights, the Weltmeister quad, and the TEIN SS
coilover is TEIN SS btw. That's as low as it'll go without front tires hitting the turn-knuckles on the coil. The rear is also set to lowest. Retains the comfortable ride, but it is very firm rather than harsh.
btw, selling my used RENNtech springs. check classified forum.

Looking good Frank! Where'd you get the V8 Kompressor side badges? Thinking of getting that for mine but still not sure yet. Also your rear Carlsson badge looks incomplete. Shouldn't you designate maybe a C32C on the right side? So it'll read Carlsson C32C or maybe Carlsson CM32 or something to that effect? Just my 2 cents.

James, the side badge says V6 kompressor, not V8. I'll need to take you to the eye doctor man. lol ...The Carlsson badges the C32 as CK32 and the real badge are just decal stickers. I am thinking about ask them to send me the sticker, but for now I'll keep it with no engine designation and keep the V6 kompressor badge. dealership sells the side badge for $50 each side. Just give them any E55/S55/CL55 VIN at the parts dept.
sdsilverm3, LOL...I think this hitting the coil thing is the same as yours with the KW. You had the turn-knuckle shaved a little bit right? and what's the total offset of your front wheel including the spacers?
bimmerbeater, thanks for the comment. The Carlsson RS kit is actually about the same price as the Lorinser Edition kit.
