My Big New Coupe: Dinan Supercharged 840i

[Fast4d]

I must LOL at the powerdyne SC. I bolted one to my mustang around 1991. It could barely make 5psi. the internal belt didn't last long either.

vortech makes a much better blower IMO. I upgraded to a one later.

my neighbor parks his 840i out on the street.....365 days a year.

[QUOTE=JEllis;19078516]I thought one of my first changes would be swapping out the radio but the current head unit has blue tooth and a few other things that have been awesome on longer road trips. I hate the look of it but love the utility.

Just in case you change your mind, here's the head unit for your vehicle:

And a tutorial on how to convert the unit to accept an iPod:

No bluetooth, I know, but a partial solution, however, wait, there's more; this device provides you with Bluetooth functionality for your vehicle: http://www.audiovoxoei.com/silverline-duo/

CD43 supports ID3 text display, it's really a great little unit.

Go the Mediabridge route and you can get bluetooth music streaming and song text display from an iPhone/Android without any wires or charging cables seen in the open.

Well done. I was looking heavy into the 8 series before I picked up my Z4

Man you are going classic. The Racing Dynamics RGS Wheels.

That Racing Dynamics five-spoke wheel is still aesthetically excellent, which is the sign of a great design.

Attached are a your wheels and two that show the rims on an E31 and great they look on it.
