Refinished 359M
Got my 359M refinished at Detroit wheel and tire and added Bimmerworld 15/12 spacers with their stud kid. Fitment looks good for stock comp suspension

Revival is in motion
Hi All,
I got a new wheel for the car from Coby wheel as well as got a euro bumper and got the hood resprayed as well so now it looks wonderful. I will be getting a 2 step paint correction done to it next week and then it is ready to go for this car show and roadtrip season. |

Beautiful build! I ended up doing my BBK before the Apex wheels. Just be aware that stoptech brakes are backordered. I’m still waiting for my rears to come in and I ordered in October.
How does the BOV sound compared to the raceport that came with the kit?

The blow off valve is quite aggressive. I could not live with it day to day but given it is primarily a roadtrip and car show vehicle it is loads of fun. Sounds like a fighter jet on wide open throttle and shifts. Deceleration noises are also quite ridiculous. Everyone can now tell it is boosted

Great read and looking forward to future updates! You mention this is a higher mileage vehicle - mind sharing the odometer?

Getting Detailed
Hi All,
As mentioned the car is getting paint corrected and detailed this week before the car season starts here in michigan. It looks pretty darn good for 140k miles and will share better pics after the professional photo shoot I have scheduled. |

Looks like they did a really nice job on your 359 wheels. I've heard the OEM hyper silver is very difficult to match. Do you know what they used? I'm curious if your wheels were powdercoated or painted.
