Just posted some pics of my 1997 328is online. Let me know what you guys think. Also, it would be cool to get some opinions on future mods I should look into doing.

how do you like the short shifter? is it the uuc evo 3 short shifter?

 

[TCGray]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. Yes, the headlights came with the angel eyes in them. I bought them on ebay. The euro ellipsoid headlights themselves are made by Hella and the angel eyes came installed. They are LED angel eyes and to tell you the truth you can't see them much at all in the day. I don't really like them that much, so I am going to take them out of those euro headllights and install some GEN V Daytime Demon Eyes from bimmertoys.com. The short shift kit is actually an active autowerke stage III kit. I was going to get the UUC but didn't have the money to buy it and really wanted a ssk, so I opted for the Active Autowerke which was only $195 instead of $350. I am very pleased with it so far, it definitely shortened the throw and is not too notchy. Flashinthepan, nice to see you noticed the UUC clutch stop. I love it. Your 330ci looks very clean. Nice car.

what does the clutch stop do? Should i get one or do i have one i can adjust?

 

[manuel]

i think it keeps you from pushing the clutch pedal too far down...after the point where you are able to shift. i think its use comes into play when you change your OE clutch for a "street" or "racing" clutch

The UCC clutch stop is $20.00, very very simple to put in....you just screw it in behind the clutch pedal, for me I like it set to elliminate appx 1" of excess foot travel....its really comfortable and I dont feel I am having to push the pedal so far.

It was a good use of $20.00, I will get one in the future for any manual stick that will use one.

Try it, I will bet you will like.

YOUR CAR LOOKS GAY

YOUR CAR LOOKS GAY

That kind of remark is uncalled for. If you don't like the car, fine. But keep your derogatory comments to yourself. That kind of crap is not welcome here. Personally, I don't see what there isn't to like about the car - it's a very sharp, very nice 328is.

Since you seem to be so opinionated, lets see pictures of your '97 M3 4 door automatic and your '02 330.

We, the moderators and administrators, of BMWboard agree.

Thanks for getting my back guys. My car is nothing too special but I don't see what someone would find "gay" about it, especially someone who drives BMWs. Frolf, as far as headlights I would suggest getting regular euro-ellipsoid headlights, which you can get from a variety of places including bimmertoys.com, m3motorwerks.com, bavauto.com, or even ebay (just make sure they are real euro-ellipsoid glass headlights). After that, if you want angel eyes I would buy the Generation V Daytime Demon Eyes from bimmertoys.com. Those seem to be the best ones available and I bet they are available from other websites as well. Buying euro headlights with pre-installed LED angel eyes are pretty bad. The bulbs burn out and you can't see them at all during the day. Thanks again all of you guys for the positive feedback on my car.

im sorry i think your car looks gay. You need to put a gay pride sticker onthe back window

 

[idontspeed]

ya i know its weird, my gay uncle coincidently has the exact same car

 

[TCGray]

Hey BMwNut and idontspeed lets see some pictures of your cars. Do you even own a BMW idontspeed? It doesn't seem like it since the "what I drive" on your profile is blank. You can't just say "your car is gay." That makes no sense. At least give some reasons about what you don't like about it, or get off of the forum because your comments are worthless.

 

[jrt67ss350]

TC, personally, I think your car is great - not modified too much, and the mods you've done are tasteful and look good. I'd love to be able to afford a car like yours.

I think we are all waiting to see some pictures of BMwNut's 97 M3 and 2002 330i. I venture to say that neither of these cars actually exists. Furthermore, I'm going to go out on a limb here and hazard a guess that BMwNut and idontspeed are the same immature punk. Their posts are always within a few minutes of each other on every thread. I mean, check out this thread - http://www.bmwboard.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4764 He's having a conversation with himself. I mean, if you aren't going to provide any worthwhile comments and are just going to ridicule people for having a nice BMW, then get lost.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is a great community of very knowledgeable TRUE BMW owners - don't let some immature punk who thinks he's being cool turn you away from it.
