Hey guys, just wanted to say hey from a new member. My name is Derek, and I've been interested in cars since I was little. I can do most of the basic stuff myself, but when it comes to modding I will most likely be taking it somewhere... although the prospect of doing something myself is pretty exciting. I'm a hands on guy and like to build things (engineer and computer guy). I moved here from Chicago 6 years ago (where I didn't have a car, I had a train schedule), and have since bought and sold a Mazdaspeed 3, and currently own a BMW 335xi with a MT. I haven't made any mods to it yet, but I'm wanting to go Stage 1 with a COBB AP, then maybe Stage 2 with a FMIC and down pipes. Not sure I'll do much more than that while it's my DD, but if I can get a beater for the Winter who knows?
Anyway, here's some pics from not long after I got it (I've since removed the tacky Toy Barn sticker). Looking forward to participating in various events. I found this forum from the Great Lakes section of e90post.com.
