Looks good. Only thing that's not to my taste is the A-Spec rear spoiler. The rest of the kit looks fantastic though.

^ I have the A-Spec w/ rear wing spoiler also and I agree with you to an extent. I love my kit and wouldnt change it to decklid (although they look nice), but the wing looks very out of place from certain angles. & since thats only about 25% of the time, I can deal with it.

MB - nice TL man - those rims are very hott. A few questions though... Who' Beamer? Why did you (or the wife?) get it? What do you like about it? How's it drive vs. the TL? I've always been anti-beamer and have never been able to understand why so many ppl have them. Enlighten me. lol.

I will try to enlighten you....The wife drives the TL most of the time......and I wanted something new so I drove the Type S, RL, IS350, S4, G35, C55 AMG and after all of the others and no decision within 2 hours of test driving the 335 I was signing the papers....0-60 in 4.8 seconds, low 13 quarter and handles unbelievable.......On this test drive i knew this was it....I don't know any other way to describe it.....I love the TL but the two cars are totally different.

Thanks.....We still need to get together soon

As far as the ME's well I never seem to have much luck with Volk dealers keeping me in the loop...I was originally told that they were in Japan ready for shipment should be here in 5-6 weeks. As of Thursday (5 weeks) He was supposed to be checking and would get back to me on Friday but I still have not heard from him. I just get pissed when someone has a large sum of my money and does not let me kow what is going on with it......if it is going to be longer that is fine just let me know something

It gets nerve racking waiting for parts to arrive. I've been through several episodes of waiting in anxiety. I tend to order through places locally so I know who i'm doing business with face to face.

Sorry for the short notice the other weekend about the photoshoot. Would have loved to have a third white diamond pearl TL in the shoot. I'll try and organize some type of mini meet in advance so everyone can plan ahead and have the cars all clean and what not.

mb - the cars look great. Did you get your TL tinted here? I have only seen one other TL with both the rear quarter windows and rear window tinted correctly here, so I'm trying to find out what shop did it (wasn't able to get up with the person who owned the car I saw).

eric - so, when's the meet? I'll be there as long as there are no shots of my dinged up bumper (damn insurance are people giving me the run around).

Thanks for the comments The TL was tinted in Chatt TN at Grants Auto Glass. They did a good job. The Bimmer was here at Lightning Mikes. A few very small bubbles on the front passenger I need to get them to fix other than that it looks great.

I wish I would have talked to you first and found someone local. I got hooked up with R&D in Charleston because he had a set of CE28N in stock I was considering but he said he could have the ME's in six weeks for about the same price. At least if I need to go to Charleston I can easily unlike CA.

So about how much is a 335i going for at the dealership? May I ask how much you got yours for? Thanks.

Sure it is pretty much loaded all but the headlight washers, active cruise and active steering. Sticker was like 49,800 I added about a grand of OEM accessories and made the deal for 49K even. BMW gets you on options. The base 335 is like 39K
