Isn't it just one more month? Or do you mean the car in general?

New custom front splitter and center lip. Props to S_Factor_Fabrication for their work on this piece. I was their first customer for the 2nd Gen model and had to do measurements and drawings for this project. The results were spot on. All together, $345 for the below pictured.

All i can say it is better than the F30 in every single way... even the HK sounds significantly better. The B58 does not even feel or sound the same as the one in the F30 340i.
The only downside is because I got the Michelin PS4 tires (fk runflats)... it requires the "space saver" spares.... Space saver my ass.. i lost at least 25% of my trunk space...

It was a conversation to nowhere with my GF regarding the decision why i got the PS4 instead of the runflats...

If you saw the background - Garfield medical center aka Monterey Park 626, then you would know everything you said could not possibly have happened...

That took all the willpower and effort on oonowindoo's part.

As soon as that picture was taken, he sprinted to his car, and took up 2 spots.

Well they were MY ride for three days and I had the time of my life at the track. I will be going back for more.

Now I know what my car is capable of, and more if a pro is at the wheel.
I would reset the G meter after each run and I was amazed at what I was seeing on street tires. Braking was incredible as well.
I also got to use launch mode in a Taycan Turbo S. Anything that does 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds was impressive.

Thanks! Just got it done actually along with paint, floor boards, new switch plates, and new shelving. Quite the project but I'm glad it's finally done.

I just wish builders would build a 2 car garage that was 24 feet wide on the inside and just as deep or more. Basically 4 week wider on each side of the door. Same for a single car garage.

I should have bought a garage with an attached house. I have two cars and four motorcycles in my garage. Good thing I am not fat. The Lathe/Mill has been moved into the basement.

@knight rider Awesome space! Incredibly clean.

@Tech Porsches I downsized in garage space when I moved three years ago. Went from 24x26 to 22x22 Luckily I have a 10x20 shed in the backyard where I can store all of my tools and random clutter.

I have a 3 car garage that has 1.5 cars in it. Wife's Flex gets preferential parking, and the Rotus takes my spot. 3rd bay is full of bikes, toys, lawn equipment & car parts.

I have a 3 car garage with two cars in it and a one stall wood shop for half the year. One car sits outside. It currently looks like a bomb went off in there so I'm not taking any pics lol.

Same here, the Rotus chassis side is really clean, since it was tented for a few months. The toy/parts side looks horrible. Practically have to climb over bikes to get to my toolbox

Once the chassis is done & parts start going back on it, things will improve a lot. Need to pick up the last bits of steel I need & get my dad's welder down here to get it done.

Same here but in an 8 x 8 shed to store the snowblower, lawn mowers, ladder, BBQ and garden tools in.

I do not keep "stuff" like garden tools, etc hanging on racks in my vehicle garage. My friend had a garden tool come down on the hood of his BMW 128i. No thanks, not going to happen to my Porsches or motorcycles. Besides, my lawn looks like a war zone...don't care for gardening. But my vehicles are maintained better than any aircraft.

That'll have you scratching your head. My car in the middle was a hatchback and that is how I got out as there were inches between cars
