- All right guys, we're back with another
fun install project.
So right here behind me, we have my
2011 BMW 328i.
Now, I picked this car up
last November as a replacement for my daily.
Now, if you guys didn't know I was dailying
a Chevy Equinox, it blew up, not fun.
It's like, all right, I'm a man up.
Get an actual, really nice daily.
So I went and found this got 43,000 miles on it.
It was like old man car, beautifully maintained.
So we're gonna absolutely ruin that.
We're gonna throw some BC Racing coils on it.
We're gonna throw some Anovia wheels on it.
And some Michelin Pilot Sport, all season tires
on it as well to get this thing,
not look so dang stock.
It's killing me every time I hop into it
because it just looks like old man car.
And I'm tired of it looking like old man car.
I want cool car.
And I think some coilovers and some nice wheels
and tires will definitely help.
So before we get this thing
on a lift to start tearing it apart
please don't forget to subscribe,
hit that like button, share this video with your friends.
And of course, if we're looking for BC Racing suspension,
ANOVIA wheels or Michelin tires
don't forget to hit up fitmentindustries.com.
We're gonna be linking everything that we're throwing
on this car down to the description below.
So if you want some stuff for your own 328i
you go pick it up and then make it real easy.
All right, let's do it.
(upbeat music)
I'm already dying.
All right.
So what we got here are some BC Racing BR coilovers
for this thing shout out BC Racing.
I'm really excited to get these on the car finally.
Yeah. Should give us everything that I need
for what I'm looking forward to do with this car.
Like I said, this is my daily driver.
I wanted to go with these for my daily
because I really like the way that they perform.
I like the way that they ride.
I like the way that they feel.
And like I said, they're a pretty price conscious
coilover when it comes to a really decent set of coilovers
I think BC hits it right on the mark
when it comes to price for
like your nice kind intermediate ish price range
for a nice set of coilovers.
And the BR series is like the entry level to that.
So something that you know can perform good, but also
do a really nice daily application.
So like I said, these are the BR series coilovers.
Now BC makes different series of coilovers
for multiple different applications or BR, like I said
coming in is their entry level coilovers.
So you do get a lot of adjustability with these yet.
So as you can see, we still have some camber plates
on the top here.
We have multi-way or not multi-way, but multiple click
damping for the coilovers themselves,
we got of course the height adjustments.
So you can really dial in really
whatever you're looking for,
for your daily driver setup.
You got, they said, height, camper, damping.
That's really all you need.
Now, if you wanted to go a step further, you can go
with their stuff, like their DS series
of getting a little motor sports, or you can go
with their External Reservoir series.
If you're really, really going, you know,
like balls of the wall,
they have pretty much a coilover
for anything you want to do.
We're to start taking the trunk apart
and installing the rear.
All right.
- Jesus,
- Hell yeah.
- You (beep) broke it already.
- No, I didn't.
- Okay. Good.
- Maybe I did.
- Oh my god
(upbeat music)
- Knock on wood.
This is like the easiest interior removal
- Don't, stop saying shit like that.
- It's all smooth sailing from here.
- Why did you weld your wheel to the hub?
- I didn't want 'em coming off.
- Okay. That makes sense.
What the (beep).
- Always something stupid.
- It's all smooth sailing from here.
Oh my God.
Got it!
I kicked the top and I saved it.
Did you get that?
That was wild.
Every coilovers I've done
comes as a coilover not coil, spring, and shock.
BMW.
(upbeat music)
- All right guys.
So we got the coilovers all installed.
We had to take a break last night to
go film some RX8 things.
So we didn't get it wrapped up last night. That was alright.
Cause it was really, really hot in here and I was dying.
So I home took a shower
did some RX8 things we're back today.
We got the fronts installed, honestly
pretty straight forward installation
just BMW things got tear apart, all that plastic calling
and stuff to make sure that you could actually get
at some of the pieces there to get things outta the way
and get at bolts and whatnot.
But good news is we got everything installs.
Now what we're gonna do is go ahead
and take a look at the wheels
and tires we got for this thing and get 'em on the car.
All right.
So if you guys order wheel entire packages from us
you'll get, 'em just like this all wrapped
up nice and neat to come on a pallet, nice and stacked.
And then you can just throw 'em on your car.
Makes it real straight forward.
So we got my ANOVIA Elders here
with some Michelin Pilot Sport, all seasoned tires
which I'm super excited about.
So we're gonna get these unwrapped.
We're gonna talk about 'em a little bit
and then throw 'em on the car.
So let's get these things unpackaged here.
(relaxing music)
- Oh.
- All right.
So here we have my Anovia Elders wrapped
in the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s.
Now, the reason I went
with this setup is I think it's a really
really good OEM plus setup.
Obviously Anovia being our own brand,
their lightweight, you get left and right side,
which is gonna be really nice.
Go look really good on this car
add a little bit of direction to it.
And then of course the Michelin Pilots
for All Season 4s, I don't think you can really
get a better all season tire for the money.
I think this is gonna handle everything absolutely perfect
from rain to hot conditions, dry, wet
some light snow and stuff like that.
That's what these tires are meant to be for.
So they're gonna be quiet.
They're gonna have some performance aspects to 'em.
They got a really cool tread pattern to it,
and they look really good.
Like I think they're gonna be an all around fantastic tire
which is why I wanted to go with them.
So thanks for Michelin
for sending these out for us to try out.
So these are an 18 by 9.5
plus 35 wheel square set up.
Cause we got all wheel drive on this thing.
And then we're looking at
I can't remember what tire size we went with.
I believe it's a 245, 245 40 on these.
And these are gonna be like I said, 18 by 9.5.
So decided to get these on the car.
So let's go throw 'em on.
All right.
So we got everything in the coilovers are
in the wheels and tires are on.
Everything's good to go.
We got the ride height adjusted
to what we think we need here.
I think it's gonna be a good ride height.
Honestly, the wheel gap looks pretty decent,
pretty minimal.
I mean the car just does sit kind of high.
I think that's just kind of the nature
of the beast with these cars.
They do sit kind high
but the wheel gap looks much, much better.
So I think the BC's feel great.
I did kind of stiffen up the damping just a little bit.
And honestly it feels very OEM plus
but it handles really, really good.
Like it's not like super harsh or anything like that.
Again, we didn't go with any like
crazy spring rate or anything like that.
So I didn't expect it be harsh or anything
but it feels solid.
I mean, we did have to throw just a little three
millimeter spacer in the front.
If you guys are looking to do a similar setup
because with the 245 40 and
the 18 by 9.5 plus 35,
you do run into a back spacing issue
with the coilovers and the back of the wheels.
So we just are a little three millimeter spacer
in there just to be safe and it works.
So let us wrap on the ultimate daily driver set
up for my 2011 BMW 328i.
I'm super happy with how it turned out.
FITMAN looks good.
It sits the way I want it to
it's not crazy low or anything like that.
So it's still functional as a daily driver.
Huge shout out at the BC Racing for sending up these
BC Racing BR coilovers for this thing,
couldn't be more excited with this setup.
And again, shout out to
Michelin tires as well for hooking it
up with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s.
If you are looking for any
of these parts that we threw on this car
whether the BC Racing and BR coilovers,
so the Anovia Elders
or the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s.
We have all of that over at
fitmentindustries.com.
Best part is you can package all that stuff together.
Like I said, we got these wheels
and tires straight from our warehouse
mounted balance and ship all in that pallet.
They're ready to go on right away.
And of course we got BC Racing coilovers
ready to ship as well.
So we're looking for any of that.
Check out the links down to the description.
Thanks for everyone for watching.
Thanks for BC racing, Michelin and Anovia
for helping get the daily, not so boring anymore.
We'll see you guys in the next one.
