I think it is fair to say that most of us here dream or at least thought about how it would feel to hold one day a magazine in their hands that features their own car on the Cover.

That Childhood dream came true for me and it has been quite an impressive journey over the past year and half. I have another thread on the car, so I'll keep it short and let the pictures speak for themselves.
Which by the way, are regardless if you like the build or not, fantastically done by Becca of Evolutionized Photography in Arizona.

IÂ’m repeating offender, hopeless addict and dreamer of modifications in the never ending search of my individualism. So this month the car will receive full Airlift suspension, a Snow Performance stage 2 Meth kit, Custom seat belts and few other goodies.

Thank you Performance BMW Magazine and everyone that was involved in the build. The issue is out and can be purchased online or in store.

TBH neither have I. I have them now for probably 8month on and just the fact they are good conversation piece I leave them on. Besides its a pain to change the grill. Many CF parts I had custom ordered, so there are not necessarily in the standard parts catalog of the various vendors. But pretty much anything in the car can be changed. I will have a few more parts made in the coming weeks like the HUD trim.
