Alyse Jackson has always been into cars. "I never really cared about barbie dolls and toys like that," explains Jackson, "it’s always been hot wheels and every other car." Her initial build was a Chevy Cobalt, which she highly disliked, and decided she wanted more. Jackson worked and saved a lot to pursue a build she was truly passionate about. "I knew my end goal was a BMW," she mentions.
"Once I finally got the car, I couldn’t figure out where to start."
Jackson researched and looked at images online, and finally came up with some ideas of how she wanted her 2008 BMW 328i to look. She began with affordable suspension and wheels, and once she was able to, she decided to get a Hard Motorsports LEICHTBAU widebody kit. "I then had an Air Lift 3p suspension installed," mentions Jackson, "and once I had those 2, I started feeling good and ready for the world!"
The interior was the next project, "for the interior, I installed Braum racing seats, a new dash and center console; the whole 9 yards." After that season, Jackson wanted to go bigger, and wrapped the 328i and finally purchased Legacy Forged 3-piece wheels, which is currently in transit.
"In all honestly I couldn’t have been more excited with where my car is currently at - fully done interior, rear-seat delete, full custom roll cage, wrapped exterior, carbon fiber everywhere, states Jackson. "The best part about it is, a female owns it!"
