Im thinking about selling it. im just really lazy taking some of the parts off but i'll def do it.
thanks brother, i got them from sewell. they had an awesome group buy but i missed out since i didn't even have the car then. but i bought the loaded lights, with the ballasts, bulbs, covers and custom wiring kit.
thanks, i think so as well. i've always wanted to have led strip lights but only if they came from factory like that. so i had to get them. black housing already is a plus in my book.
thanks steve

I love it. Sad to see the Z go, but great choice on the new car. The only thing that might hinder me from buying one is that it isn't a true manual. But I'm sure it is just as fun to drive. Are you thinking about wheels yet?
My favorite part is the contrast between the red taillights and blue. This is one of the newer cars I actually like.

thanks brother. there is a lot more stuff coming soon. my bday is right around the corner and i'm going to give myself the best presents this year
that makes the two of us. sad to see it go but this new car is just that damn good. its also rare as well. haven't ran into any other isf yet.
i was just like you, about the manual. im glad i got to test drive this thing though. even for the wannabes who have the tiptronic and try to make it "sound like a manual", this thing sounds like a manual from the outside. no torque converter after 1st gear , it has that manual sound and the shift is too fast and smooth..upshift or downshift. lexus did their homework on this tranny. its nice sometimes to pop it in drive when you feel lazy or wanna stay low key then use the paddles or the gear shift in manual mode when you really want to open her up. perfect blips everytime.
i actually ordered te37 wheels but then cancelled. couldn't make up my mind on wheels. i love the stock wheels and will only try to put one piece mono block forged wheels. either te37, bbs or HRE if i do upgrade. i can fit up to 12 inch in the back but offset will not give me the concave look i desire. so it's really hard to choose what i want. i kind of like this look on this car..

i was going to get white but it's not shiny enough for me but it would be much easier to clean.
i picked up a white new F30 328i for my daily driver though, so i kind of gotten white in a way
great gas, still not as good as the ISF, good speed pick up, crappy interior, crappy stereo but handles well. bimmers are just too boring though for my main car unless you have the s85 engine though.

I agree with your sentiments on the BMW interior. I was actually out test driving BMW's when I found my S4. I drove a 335i coupe and was really underwhelmed by the interior, but that particular one had the wood dash trim which ruined the experience for me. The ones with the aluminum inlays look much better IMO.
I've heard those new 328i's are really good on gas, though.

ive been beating on this car for hte past few days, and the gas is so good. im not going to lie, it's so torquey. 255tq at 1350 rpm. but that's about it, lol. bmw is not even doing that well on road noise as well. this is a lease by the way, which is why im bashing the car. i would NEVER buy a car like this. bmw is not for me. im hoping all of their new models are upgrades to the current ones.

Love your car bro, the head lights were a good upgrade/update. Couldn't have been cheap. And in the regards to the wheels, I really like the OEM ones. I wouldn't do much more but little exterior mods here and there.

Haha why the **** did you lease that bimmer? Just look at how the hood is designed, there's a line on top of the headlights lol. it looks like a someone squished the front end. For the $ i would've leased the new C-class
IS-F looks great, i wouldn't get aftermarket wheels on it myself. Stock look is best, i'd even go as far as raising it back up a bit. Keep it classy, TE's imo would push it more towards a boy racer look.
Is that lollipop heads' m6 i see? haha
