Modifications
Planned Modifications
I'd love to find a block heater (BMW thinks it's some kind of contraband). Still looking.
New rear shocks (maybe a lowering kit is in the future).
Taller final drive (currently 3.46, seeking 2.93 - 3.07). should be easy once I find a good deal.
6-speed OD transmission (expensive and hard to get to).
grill block (OK, there's an easy one).
Better FE instrumentation.
