Very different colors - LSB has a green hue to it while Voodoo does not

My M3 · 07-17-2024, 08:00 PM

Looks & sounds great. Should be very happy with it.

NSX2M4 · 07-17-2024, 08:12 PM

Good looking car. I like the grills.
Did the ice driver already fail though on the driver DRL?

Looks like the parking lights were accidentally turned on for the passenger side.

PTB clutch is what I went with. Feels like stock in terms of weight, much lower engagement point so that dead area is almost gone. Some chatter at lower speed when there isn't enough power (coming off the gas while still engaging the clutch)

But thats it, it chatters the same as stock. It's a no-brainer.
Oh I used a coupon too: bmwm24
Got be 10% off. ( not an affiliate link, just a coupon)

What other clutch solutions were you looking into? Clutch replacement will be my first move after a tune to augment an Autosolutions SSK.

I think that CSL trunk lid made the already beefy rear end look a tad too chunky. Other then that, pretty nice build in my eyes!

BroDoze · 07-18-2024, 06:20 AM

Chunk = good

That’s the point of BMW’s G87 design language.

Amazing car OP!

I looked at a few other brands who had great reputation online, but when I met with the people who used them they were quick to criticize them. For that reason, I went with most people and went to PTB. They built it to suit the car, and I had it in my hands in a few days. Great experience all around.

I Hate piss lights. Got a set sent to me for free and thought it would be neat to have them on for a bit. Withing 2-3 days it failed, keep your stock LED's people.

Sorry, I’ve been wanting to say that to you since I first saw your username

Love it! You’re the first to know what it means. It’s my plates too.

About to hang this beauty up!

That’s awesome. Let’s Talk About Feelings was definitely my favorite album. Probably one of the most cohesive of that era. Loved how they powered through that thing in 30 minutes. No fluff, just legendary melodic punk rock.

Anyway, I’m taking this thread wayy off track. Feel free to PM me if you want to chat about our second shared interest!

First g87 I've liked!

FlashMonkey929 · 07-19-2024, 06:33 AM

Man, that is a beautiful car. I can't wait for my sensible X1 lease to be over so I can order one for myself and get back in a manual. Been lurking the G87 boards and stuff like this is making me lean more towards the G87 and less towards a used F87 every day.

TheMrB · 07-19-2024, 10:11 PM

What are you running? Also, in trying to keep OEM+, I assume the BMW MP HAS will allow for the same drop you have…it’s all so good; I could watch those rollers all day!

Beautiful effing car! I have zero notes, it is perfect!! Well done.

You can always buy another. One of my cars is a rare lightweight special one-year-only model. Many of the owners are repeat owners who've sold, purchased newer, faster models, then come back. They realize speed and power are not everything.

Trust me,
I keep things like this you mentioned stock for a reason.
I was sarcastically commenting on how quickly a LED board from Alibaba may or may not have failed.

KW HAS, No spacers. Customer wheels by VT forged. Most companies can cut the wheel you need so you don't need spacers. You just need wait.

God it looks so good, still debating on pulling trig on a voodoo blue G87.
