I didn't hear about this. Is it GMP on Pressley? I checked their website and didn't see anything. If so I will most likely be there as well.

There is a thread in here about it. Not sure how to link via phone but it's titled m invasion 2016 charlotte.

But yes - that is the right location!

I'm in Greensboro as well. Headed to Bimmer Performance Center in the Raleigh area Monday to get Springs/Wheels/Diffuser/Sides/etc installed, should be a good day. I'm also going with no quote, so wish me luck lol

I've heard it is good but never have been. Normally I am better to do Sundays instead of Saturdays due to work.

My BMW does spring installs for 3 hours including alignment. So $300 at the $99 preferred rate...

It's usually a great turnout, with a couple hundred cars coming out of all makes/models. That said, April will be the first C&C in the new location (lost the last spot in Oct due to construction on the parking lot), so not really sure what to expect just yet.

JHY310 did you ever get your springs installed? If not, you still planning on it? I cleaned out my garage this weekend and have the space if you still need a spot. I wouldn't mind a bit of practice as I plan to get the Swift springs once mine is re-delivered.

ninekrpm · 05-15-2016, 06:11 PM

OT,

Anyone know of a shop in the CLT area that can Dyno a set of dampers?

Haven't made moves on the springs yet. I've got a few parts I bought months ago still waiting to go on! Haha. I may stay stock height until I get some wheels. I actually like how it looks?

I heard ya on having stuff sitting around. I'm FINALLY going Monday to get Wheels/Tires/Springs/Sides/Rear Diffuser/Painted Reflectors/Carbon Emblems/MS EVC/Charge Pipe/etc installed. They've all been sitting around forever, some since January...

GrahamSP · 06-21-2016, 06:02 PM

Just got back from my ED yesterday! The car should be here for PCD beginning of August hopefully!

JHY310 · 06-22-2016, 09:10 PM

Looking good! We need to get a meet on the radar. Perhaps a track day up at VIR?

Just traded up from my 2014 M235i to........

Hey!

I'm looking to get references for a Great(!) PPF install.

Anybody done any "XPel Ultimate" or "3M Scotchguard Pro" at a Good & Honest shop on the trip in between the P.C. and (or in) Raleigh?

I've been able to get quotes from:

* "Extreme" - Too expensive!
* "TVP" - More economical, but not convinced.

Any advice / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
