My NEW SSII/SO Beauty!

SROC3 · 11-18-2015, 09:48 AM

So here are some initial pics after my Swifts Springs & AWE Exhaust install. I'll post MUCH better ones when I can take proper DSLR pics and do a mini shoot.

Special Thanks to Khoi at Long Beach BMW for my ride - you really can't have a nicer, more pleasurable person to do business with. Plus, even the GM at Long Beach was very nice and courteous. I HIGHLY recommend calling Khoi.

Also Special thanks to Alex and the peeps at ACM WEST - what a great shop, great people and VERY fair pricing and installation services!!! The quality was top notch and all the details were not left to chance. I am quite pleased

- 15mm front
- 12mm rear
- Swift Springs
- AWE Non-Res Exhaust
- IND Reflectors
- Black Kidneys
- Black Side Markers
- M Perf Side Sills
- M Perf 6spd Shift knob/boot
- BMS Clutch Stop (WOW.)

This first shot is bigger - notice how the color changes from front to back. That's really happening as the amount of light hitting the car changes. Going from a greenish tinge on the front, to a silverish-grey as it heads to the back of the car. Light refraction at its best.

For $15......It's a silly thing not to get it. I'm shorter, about 5'6, so it good for my reach. If you're a taller driver, 6 foot and above, then maybe not. I just think the pedal feel is better as it "stops" shallower and does not go too deep. Your leg reacts to the change by instinctively depressing less.

Congrats !!
Now lets hear that exhaust

haynstyleM2 · 11-18-2015, 01:34 PM

car and stance looks perfect! great job! how you liking the Swift's?

benzoX3 · 11-18-2015, 01:52 PM

That's a beauty, congrats!

AW BMW · 11-18-2015, 02:14 PM

Congrats, what a great combo!

SROC3 · 11-18-2015, 02:26 PM

Thanks Guys for the compliments!!!!

))))) The Swifts are great so far....def not as good ride quality as Stock, but the drop and the stance is SPOT-ON. At first I thought..."hmmm, maybe the front is too low..." But in direct sunlight it's really great. For me the 15/12 combo is perfect. I'm running Conti's btw.

I love the way she sits......Here's another shot in the sun...

///Pip · 11-18-2015, 06:05 PM

Hmmm.....how about borderline floaty and slightly stiffer than OEM - in comfort mode. The other modes are just stiffer. The stock spring/shock setup is just SO WIN in terms of feel.

supremepower · 11-19-2015, 12:09 AM

Congrats!

Looks awesome

Beautiful car

SSII rocks

... And yes, I am biased

shortseller · 11-19-2015, 08:01 AM

Always considered SS as a great color to exploit the rear flares on the M4.

TurboAL47 · 11-19-2015, 10:25 AM

great choice. car looks beautiful. enjoy!!!!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 11-19-2015, 11:15 AM

SS always makes me wish I got that from the beginning!
