Any plans for Spring Projects on your D?

I know winter is still here but we are getting closer to spring with each day that passes. Is anyone planning something new for their D this spring? New tires? New rims? JBD? Suspension work? Etc?

Tell us what you're up to!

With the coming new Diesels in Spring, I won't be doing anything to my D and may trade it on for a 328d Touring xdrive!

What is killing me is our D is such a Great car and there won't be another one like it.
So I may just drive it to the ground. My ML's lease will be up on June 2014 so I may just hang on till them and decide if I want to buy it out or get a new one then.

ECU tuning, Wheels (thinking O-Z Ultraleggera HLT 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 10) and tires (probably Goodyear F1 Asymmetric).

Considering a set of Alufelgen CS7.

Here is my list:
- JBD
- Spacers 15mm-12mm
- Gloss Black Kidney Grilles
- Paint my 193M in Gloss black (still thinking about it inspired by 335dM)
- Painted reflectors

Just the annual wash...

Getting my final two pieces of the M3 suspension parts is what inspired this topic for me. I'm looking to do a complete suspension overhaul in March with the following M3 pieces. The Megan Racing toe arms are the only non-M3 upgrade:



Front sway bar

Front lower wishbone/control arm (L)

Front lower wishbone/control arm (R)

Front tension strut (L)

Front tension strut (R)

Adjustable front sway bar end links



Rear sway bar

Rear subframe bushings - (front, 2X)
- (rear, 2X)

Rear guide rod (L)

Rear guide rod (R)

Rear upper link/wishbone (L)

Rear upper link/wishbone (R)

Adjustable rear sway bar end links

Megan toe arms

GBD, are you going to do a Quaife while you have the rear subframe dropped for the sway bar and subframe bushings?

Win lottery. Then turn the diesel into a track car!

This weekend I'm adding my M3 strut brace kit and adjustable Vorshlag camber plates to the car. I already have adjustable sway end links on the front but I feel they're a tad short so I'm swapping them out for longer ones.

So I put on the M3 Strut brace kit yesterday. Have a couple of pictures:

Unfortunately the adjustable Vorshlag camber plates was another story altogether:

I was finally able to properly install my front camber plates this weekend.

Here's a pic of the Vorshlag camber plates installed with the M3 strut brace kit:

And here's a view of my front -2.5 camber:
