Wisconsin G80/G82 owners

nxstyM3 · 03-12-2023, 11:28 PM

Any recommendations for shops in the area (greater Milwaukee) for performance and cosmetic? I’ve only been here a couple years so I’m sure there’s a diamond in the rough I’ve never heard or been to?

Last shop charged me close to a rack to lower my 340i on H&R springs.. not trying to do that again.

Alignment / suspension work: Lake Country Alignment (Justin)

Detailing / cosmetic installs: Exquisite Auto Spa (Chris)

IND also has a shop, A&L, which can pretty much do any install for parts they sell.

Maybe LCA is too busy right now for that haha. I know someone who works at a local german shop who could do it on the side. PM me and I can send you his info

Another G80 spotted in the wild near MLK and Walnut near Fiserv stadium. Looks like British racing green or Oxford green.

Lol...I knew it wasnt you coz I didnt see the rear spoiler. Also anyone thinking about doing this UDE event in Milwaukee. Its in June at the Miller park stadium. Its free. Also thinking of either doing a road america track day or the M track days. Im a novice and short of driving on the PCD track and the M event at the autobahn in IL, I havent done any track events. I my wife thinks Im having a mid life crisis and wants me to focus on being alive

I'll do some track days at RA. We can nail down a date if you'd like.
I'm going to do an autocross put on by SCCA or Madison Sports Car club and skip the BMW corporate awkwardness.

Luv2spn · 04-01-2023, 03:45 PM

Hey thanks for the link.
I registered for the April 24th track day at Road America.

You are welcome. That’s pretty good. I’m a bit nervous doing it with no prior experience and using my stock car. Worried about ruining my tires and breaks lol. Maybe this summer I might do it or go for half day M driving school

Fixed that for you lol. Tires and brakes will definitely be more worn.. not so sure youd ruin them.

Luv2spn · 04-22-2023, 07:38 AM

I like the looks of the red one seen around north of the city.

I'll be heading to the drag strip in Union Grove this morning if anyone wants to join.
