In Reply to: 850i wheels and mods! Let's TALK ABOUT IT. posted by spirithome on June 25, 2000 at 15:36:47:
: with some very nice mods..it looks just as good as ANY new cars out there. MANY MANY NEW CARS WISH THEY'D LOOK JUST A BIT FRESH AS THE 11 Y/O 8 SERIES !!!
: My suggestions for mods..and I wanted your opinions on mods.
: 8 series with: Custom HID non-popup headlight fixture - WHY ON THE EARTH WOULD YOU CHANGE THE POP-UP LIGHTS ? YOU CAN INSTALL A HID LIGHTS FOR ABOUT 650USD IN A REGULAR FORM Custom grill HID foglights - GRILL FOG LIGHTS ??? I'M NOT SURE WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT : Clear corner lights for the sides - <- SAME AS BEFORE, NO CLEAR AVAILABLE : Possible custom clear taillight grill. : Custom Two-toned black/grey soft grain leather replacing ROUGH stock euroleather. THE LEATHER ISN'T ROUGH AT ALL. THE SOFT LEATHER IS AMERICAN AND LOOKS VERY BAD AFTER 2-3 YEARS. THAT IS WHY MB CHANGED THE LEATHER IN THEIR ML SERIES AFTER 3 YEARS OF PRODUCTION. THEY WERE USING AMERICAN LEATHER AND 3 YEARS AFTER PRODICTION THE FIRSRT CARS WERE LOKING LIKE A FORD/LINCOLN : New Eclipse LCD head unit stereo system w/DVD/TV/MP3Nav. Dynaudio speaker upgrade and : Custom rear view w/autodim, temp, and compass. : Custom black 8 series floormats. <- DINAN, OR ANY FLOORMAT COMPANY DOES THAT AFTER YOU GIVE THEM A SIZE AND COLOR SPEC. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE OEM ??? If I had an 840..I'd supercharge <- ERT OR ESS COST YOU ABOUT 8K USD AND 420-430HP AND A TONS OF TORQUE. I HAVE A DINO RESULTS IF YOU WANT TO SEE : The result would be one of the most aggressive looking I'VE SEEN A WIDE-ZYMAX BODY 8 SERIES AND THAT WAS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE LOOKING CAR. I ALSO HAVE A FEW PICS OF INTERIOR EXTERIOR OF THAT. THEY HAVE DONE PRETYY MUCH EVERYTHING YOU LISTED HERE AND A LITTLE MORE. RESULTS - AWESOME CAR AWESOME POWER AND AWESOME MONEY INVOLVED !
: Exterior:
: Wheels
: 19X9 Lowenhart 3piece chrome wheels front. 265/35 Pirelli Pzeros
: 19X10 Lowenhart 3piece chrome wheels front. 285/35
: Pirelli Pzeros <- GOOD
: Suspension
: Bilstein Shocks/Racing Dynamics <-OKE, DONE THAT
: Clear corner lights for the front. <- THIS ISN'T A HONDA OR ACURA. BESIDES THERE IS NOT CLEAR LIGHT AVAILABLE, SO THE ONLY OPTION IS SMOKE THEM AS I DID
: Custom aluminum interior pieces replacing wood/plastic. <- I'M WORKING ON IT ALREADY !!!
: Aluminum shifter. Possible custom aluminum laced steering wheel. <- ??? AIRBAG AND LEATHER WHEEL - WHAT COULD BE BETTER THEN THAT ???
ALTOUGH THE 2-TONE WOULD BE A NICE TOUCH BUT MAKE IT REAL EUROPEAN LEATHER OR BUFFALO LEATHER (MORE MONEY)
: Eclipse 1000watt amp power. <- NO COMMENT
( AUTODIM IS IN, TEMP ON THE DASH, COMPASS ??? - WELL NEVER NEEDED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE !
: -----------------------------------
: Actual engine mods would depend on the car.
: I've heard of 850is that were Dinan modified..doing
: 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. A FEW PEOPLE HERE DRIVES A DINAN MOD. 850 ASK THEM, BUT I THINK THE 4.5S IS A BIT TOO OPTIMISTIC. DON;T FORGET THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR, EVEN WITH 4-500HP THE CAR IS VERY HEAVY !
: okay well..would love to hear your comments on the
: car mods I've described.
: 8 series inside and out.
