super Nice
At first I wasn’t crazy about the huge Grille when I first saw it a couple years ago but now I love them, looks mean af
The new bmws just don’t do it for me. They look like huge nostrils to me for some reason. I’m not dogging the car, it’s hella dope, just not for me.
Just did a CSL grille and carbon ducts with BMS intakes.
Ps I did re adjust the intakes so they are flat and even now.

That green is awesome 
Been looking at those carbon bits for a while. How much of a PIA is it to get the front bumper off? Looks like a lot of clips to break…
Loving the new colors they offer. House’s looks like Dravit, which is incredible in person
okay okay i need more pics of both of these cars…
Looks great but is it an issue with heavy rain?
I think BMW drivers just weave back and forth to dodge rain drops?

I’m sure the bmw forums would explode if that was a concern. These intakes are often sold out/back order.

Takes like 10-15 min tops to get it off even if it’s your first time. I could walk you through it over the phone haha

It looks similar to the setup on my Z, although MUCH higher off the ground. There are points past the filters designed to collect moisture, although not enough to prevent hydrolock if the filters were submerged.
I don’t risk boosting in the rain because of it. Or simply avoid driving the car in the rain. Or I simply avoid driving the car at all because I have an unrelated oil leak, lol.

I’m down to four. Got rear ended the other day while sitting at a red light. Car got sandwiched and is totaled.
My interest in cars has definitely waned. Just 2 cars now, my Audi S5 cabriolet and the wife’s VW Atlas. I find we take the Atlas more and more just because it’s so smooth/quiet and loaded with tech that makes driving more relaxing (it’s an SEL-P rline). I’ll drive the S5 until it starts giving me major repair issues because it’s been paid off for years and owes me nothing. If it got totaled tomorrow I’d probably be looking at a VW Arteon AWD to replace it.
The wife and I are much more into stashing money and thinking about retirement now. We are 100% doing the Great Loop and taking on the extra side trip over to the Bahamas. That will take over a year:
We’re in the process of figuring out what boat we’ll be doing it on. Narrowed it down to a 35-45’ boat with diesel power, but going back and forth between a traditional trawler or an aft cabin yacht with a fly bridge. Since we’ve got the yacht bug the idea of putting anything more than basic mid level money on a car doesn’t seem appealing at all. Jill’s got 3 years left of college and once we’re done paying that ridiculous bill every year we expect to buy the boat shortly after.

What color is the CTS-V, wondering if it was Randy’s? He had a pristine blown first gen.
My wife is driving a Traverse. I turned in my company issued VISTIQ and currently driving a OPTIQ V series.
