A teaser of a few more mods...

broham and bmw aficionado, brandon@eas, helped me install a few new pieces to the barge. it needs a drop bad but I don't want it slammed so waiting patiently to see what the M-Performance suspension or eibach looks like. Rear lip spoiler is also sorely needed. Thanks for looking!

P.S Excuse the IPhone photos...

This is the list so far...

Alufelgen 19" SF-71 Titanium Gunmetal
IND reflector removal front & back
Chrome signal bulbs (amber removal)
M-Performance Aluminum Pedals
M-Performance front grill /w M-Sport Slats

Real performance mods asap!

man that a crazy amount of wheel gap. I'm not even sure the m performance suspension with m performance springs and a 20mm drop will bring it down to look correct. Crap I may have to go to coil overs. Yours is an m-sport correct? so it already has a 10mm factory drop.

no, the m-sport uses the exact same suspension setup as the sports line. It may be different in europe but it is not here...continued BMW cost cutting it seems; which includes no LED turn signals (front or rear) 2009+ E90s do, wtf, light & thin trunk door (closes with a very un-german like clink), interior bits are much diminished in quality over predecessors, and, last but not least, the softer boatier ride. *sigh*

I think I've read that the sports line and msport models have a 10mm drop compared to no line, luxury or modern. I've also read that the m performance suspension kit with the added (not included) m performance springs, will increase the drop to a total of 20mm. Thats about a 3/4" drop over the non-sports line f30's. not sure how that would look. As it stands the m performance suspension kit is available but the m performance springs are not.

First f30 I've seen on here with SF-71. Black with Gunmetal or hyper black are the best color combo for that wheel. What et? 35 front and 35 rear ?

Oh, was that you? haha. Awesome. Nice S2K...I tried to give you a thumbs up but apparently my gf told me right after you had buzzed past. John's gf, right? I know Long, Ivan, Frankie, etc. and the crew very well. Fresh.

Yes that was me. I was like oh yay f30 then I forgot I wasn't in mine. Thanks the car belongs to a friend. Just took it to the track for the day. Yes long and the rest of the crew are great, like family. Is that where you will be modding the car?
