Front FK coilovers rear FK springs w/ Bilstein shocks.
Front 01+ M3 brake rotors w/ Porche boxters calipers.
Rear 98 Mcoupe roadster pads and rotors.
Unknown steal brake line upgrade.
M3 cluster with 151k miles.
Custom carbon Fiber center counsole.
M3 18*8 wheels not sure wat year is it *im still newb to bmws*
Carbon fiber front lip.
M3 aero body kit
Battery relocate to spare tire area, really well done.
3.23 LSD

btw im not sure wat model is mine tho cauz of the mods upgrade. GMW does all the work. jon told me its the club sport, but i doubt it cauz from wat i read club sports only made in 95? anywho, it has no sunroof, does have cruise control, OBC, & cloth/leather seats. prolly is an active my guess.

well if you read the side of the door jam it should give you some details. Clubsports only came in black or red.
can you get pictures of how the relocation of the battery is done in your ti? some of us that have swapped motors are trying to come up with the best solution. need some ideas of what to do for mine.

Xfuzion · 08-25-2009, 07:10 PM

sure i'll def. get some pix forya. its done pretty nice from my point of view. spare tire and all the tools was removed. spare tire area frame was cut and a rectangle steal box has been weld on perfectly fit for the battery with mounting stud to hold the battery bracket.

I think this cars PO was on here before, can't remember his name but I think he had an R32 Skyline too

welcome, if this is the same as the car I'm thinking of the work is really well done

Oh. I'm envious. If it's an artiksilber '97 ti with gray millpoint interior, it's basically my spec with an s52. Congratulations on the purchase, and welcome to the .org.

Xfuzion · 08-26-2009, 03:34 AM

thanks. welp i donno if the car has been here, all i know is i bought the car from Jon the owner of German Motor Werks.. anyone heard of em bfore? they specialize in BMW performance.

btw, i forgot to add, the ECU has been reflashed by Dinan and there is also a performance muffler *looked but not sure wat brand is it*

how much did you pay? it was advertised here and on ebay for a long time. Nice ride, seemed well done. Congrats.

Xfuzion · 08-26-2009, 01:17 PM

thanks. oh wow i didn't know that it was on here. i got it for $6500 was that a good deal or not?

96cali · 08-26-2009, 05:37 PM

considering he advertised it not long ago for 10k, yeah that was a good deal!

Xfuzion · 08-26-2009, 11:03 PM

oh cool good to know. i've just put in yellow fog lights, 8mm spacer to the front and lowered it a little. it looks a lot nicer now. will post up the front end and battery set up when i get a chance to take some pix.

96cali · 08-27-2009, 03:09 PM
