Lots of great deals out there offered by vendors. Anything you guys have your eyes set on or hoping something will go on sale?
I promised myself that I won’t go crazy on power/suspension mods before winter, so I’m limiting myself to headlight mods. I’ll be saving about $25 on these. One of my halos is slightly dimmer than the rest so I’m glad I’ll be able to take care of it.

nothing. I’m not spending anymore money on the SVX-R. (aside from consumables)

I need to check Speedway Motors for coilovers and a couple of other things - they might have something. Also possibly CJ Pony for steering bits.

Adjustable control arms. Gotta fix that alignment issue quick.
Otherwise, ill probably wash it once more before bad weather.

Got my eye on a nice tool kit and some ratcheting spanners coming up later.

Probably get some detailing stuff for the car not much else. Everyone is trying to convince me to cop a PS4 but I never have time to play games any more.

Forza Motorsport 6.

I don’t even remember what it feels like to buy parts I want . I need engine mounts and some exhaust bits for my F150 though. If I can afford it, I need to order front floors for my Fairlane too. Nothing to do with Black Friday, but stuff that needs to happen.

Well I recently treated myself to a new set of coilovers, on one of those awesome employee discount deals. ;)
So Black Friday might bring a pair of camber plates to accompany the new coilovers in the front.

Know any detailing sites offering some deals? I could use a DA polisher..
Also, my buddy can get me a new PS4 battlefront edition for $275.. I'm so tempted even though I barely play anymore.

If you drive a euro car I have a lead that modbargains is offering a deal on coilovers.. One of their reps offered me $250 off a set of KW’s!

Look at this guy here - can’t even make Mustang floorboards fit because his car’s too big. Can’t get in on deals at CJ Pony. Nyuck nyuck.

Stop tempting me!! I found a few good deals on coilovers.. But I don't reaaaaally NEED them.

I’m probably gonna buy some gasoline for my car...

I need adjustable coilovers sized by k-value of spring, because project car with altered suspension. Euro factory fitment style, not so much. If I were enough of a wizard that I could back-figure a specific Euro model that would work, I’d consider it, but signs point to no.

No car stuff.
I’m resisting the urge to buy camera gear and/or sneakers for myself that I want but don’t need.
My gf has her mind made up that she’s getting a treadmill because even though we joined a gym last Thanksgiving and I’ve been going religiously, she wants to run on a treadmill at home rather than schlep to the gym.
She could use a new laptop and phone but her money’s going into that damn treadmill instead. Maybe there’ll be some cheap deal on a decent unlocked Android phone (we’re on cheap prepaid plans) and I’ll get it for her.

Nothing for my mine as it is part of the VAG clusterf***. I will be instead be putting anything towards the buy a fun car fund.

*Sad horn sound* 4-door floors don’t seem to exist, but I’m hoping I can make the coupe floors work. They’re the same at the firewall, but I’m not sure the length to the seat box is the same.
![]() 11/23/2015 at 17:10 |

Does your supplier of choice (say Mac’s or wherever) list the part length? That could tell you in a hurry.
![]() 11/23/2015 at 17:20 |

My company even makes them for your car too! Unfortunately, I can’t offer my employee discount to you. lol

Are you driving your M3 through winter? I just put the snows on my M235i.
![]() 11/23/2015 at 17:25 |

I recall seeing them on Mac’s, and Dennis Carpenter. Don’t recall the length having been listed, it was a more generic description (ie “Fairlane 2dr 1966-67”). I need to measure the floors in the car anyway.
![]() 11/23/2015 at 17:26 |

If nothing else, you can pop an image of the boards into Paint and get a relative measurement to use. Length vs. width, size of ribs, maybe a drain hole size.

Planning to order LED DRLs for my scooter, but I don’t think it’s actually a Black Friday deal, I just feel like buying something for myself that I won’t need for 6+ months.

God dammit I was supposed to want the e46 M3 and now you go and post these pictures of an e9x? Why you do dis?
![]() 11/23/2015 at 17:39 |

Probably not, it’s stored at my parents for now and I don’t think the ZCP wheels with summer tires would do well with any amount of snow. I have a RWD 335i 6MT that I'll be driving though! If it ever gets too bad I also have a C300 4matic just in case.
![]() 11/23/2015 at 17:42 |

That I’m not sure about its rare to see them discounted. Even on Autogeek.net with 25% off for Black Friday Polishers are excluded. Check Amazon for deals instead and get a Griots Garage 6”, I’ve got one and it’s great.

BFI Stage 3 Clutch Kit! Been needing one since I went stage one. Finally getting one with my work hookup.

I need to stock up on oil filters for the 7, control arm, and sway bar bushings. Usually FCPeuro has some sale going on. I was considering snow tires but I blew that money on a volvo 240 (with a manual!). Also I need a suit, I heard macys has deals on that.

Want a Boss 302 intake for my Mustang, but have like 5 years left of warranty on mine. Fuck you Ford for not giving us a tune for the Boss intake.
![]() 11/23/2015 at 22:41 |

Wow! You’re not at a loss for options. Do you find that you appreciate having both the C300 and the 335i even though they're somewhat similar?
![]() 11/24/2015 at 07:57 |

I’d peg the C300 more towards the 328i. The C300 is a fantastic daily driver, very comfortable with a great interior. The 328i/335i are more fun but don’t have interiors that are as nice and aren’t as comfortable (handle much better though).
I’d say the 335i is a great enthusiast daily driver because it’s reasonable comfortable, interior is nice enough, power is fantastic, mileage is great, and it’s so fun to drive! I wouldn't call the C300 an appliance, it's just not as fun. Great for when all you want to do is comfortable commute.

That’s a great summary of the two. I had a 335i XDrive prior to the M235i, and a 330i prior to the 335. Both the 330i and 335i XDrive were great cars, but neither really “wowed” me. I find the M235i offers the right level of excitement while still being a practical enough daily. As long as it does okay in the winter (I’ll be finding that out soon), I’ll be holding on to it longer than its predecessors.

Griots for $110 that's a good price.

Glad you are enjoying the M235i! Really love those, definitely wanna try one out soon. I bet you'll be fine with winter tires. What color did you get it in?

I went with Alipne White/ Coral Red. I had originally wanted Estoril Blue but after seeing it in person I decided it was too much for me. I'm very happy with the white.
![]() 11/24/2015 at 19:45 |

White on red is an incredible combination. Manages to be sporty and classy at the same time. Great choice! I love estoril myself, but I have to agree with you. A little much for a daily driver (I'd still probably get it though).

Meant to say a check up/replacement on the v8’s main journal bearings.
