BrettKA7 · 06-20-2018, 01:35 AM

Then took her to the mall

MalcM · 06-20-2018, 05:45 AM

Bought it

MSCD · 06-20-2018, 11:24 AM

Installed my Father's Day present and created some more spare parts!

js 84 · 06-20-2018, 02:52 PM

Remapped my car for the second time. This time went to the guys that work also with racing cars. Got extra 27hp and 20nm. Significant improvement in performance.
Now car makes 224 hp and 459 nm, for 320d good result.

ROBBMAC · 06-20-2018, 09:00 PM

In the last week added:

2000Z3M · 06-20-2018, 09:16 PM

dropped my car off at the detailers

EDWYER · 06-21-2018, 07:47 AM

VRSF charge pipe added!

B58 parts · 06-21-2018, 10:15 PM

Quick wash and wax .. first time since buying the car. I've done a lot of mods but never posted pics because it's all dirt... Better for a day, but really makes me want to get a detail and paint correction. I found 3 spots of poorly done 'CPO' touch up paint I never noticed .. and the orange peel is sooo bad.

E60F30 · 06-22-2018, 04:47 AM

Added F8x lower control arms, new PS4 tyres, 4 wheel alignment and a wash to wrap it all up

I've heard of others doing the same, but why add in M3 control arms? What does it do exactly?

Primary benefit is increased camber.

F3x have non adjustable camber and factory camber simply isn't sufficient.

My previous set of Michelin PSS were done after 15k miles. Front 2 had significant shoulder wear. Added camber should aid with more even tyre wear and better cornering.

These arms also have stiffer bushings which helps with turn in and slightly more steering feel.

Now the fun (modifications) begins.

7iM3less · 06-24-2018, 06:44 PM

Took my front plate off today, panic'g about a ticket though....may need to put her back on but damn it looks so much better!

I'm deleting the fogs and amber reflectors on top of it....ugh

I considered the reflectors in white/ clear, not going to do with it. Would rather have the protection, also PA state inspection may fail.

Re the fogs... I'm just thinking of matching the headlight bulbs. I've seen them smoked before to help blend. I think the front end looks good as is.... yeah definitely better without the plate!

Yeah with regards to fogs I've been looking at a lot of F30's and whether the best route is to tint them or play with new bulbs. After weeks of research I think it looks best with clean grills and no fog lights at all. Just neutralizes everything.

Re. reflectors I went with the smoked ones which should actually tie in with the mg.

DarkStarBimmer · 06-24-2018, 08:15 PM

Finally got the tint done 20% all around. Also got a VGate today so did some light coding with Bimmercode, like removing start up warning, digital speedo, etc.

Pics or the tint didn't happen

20% must be a change!

Yeah smoked will blend well.

It's funny I remember when my dad got fog lights integrated in the to bumper and colour wing mirrors, was a big deal! Funny, now I see people going for black mirrors and no fogs.

Be interested to see how it comes out. I know M3 /4 has no fogs so I'm sure it will look good.
