How much did all that run you?

overkill1125 · 06-10-2013, 05:53 PM

Around $2K in upgrades

N-Y · 06-10-2013, 06:23 PM

dont tint the lights.
how much were those wheels? what brand?
can u take pics of fog lights

Maz335i · 06-10-2013, 06:57 PM

Very nice!!! Love the wheels!!!

MMOTION · 06-10-2013, 08:19 PM

Always jealous of how our Montreal neighbours don't require front plates in Montreal.

Liking what you've done so far, I would personally skip the tail light tints, but whatever floats your boat. I am in the same boat as you, waiting for xdrive springs. The gap is really horrendous and probably is the first fix in order for any xdrive F30.

FVM3 · 06-13-2013, 04:29 PM

dont tint the tails

overkill1125 · 06-13-2013, 04:51 PM

Ok, guess no tints.
What to so next in terms of esthetics?
Vinyl wrap roof?

Tell us about your wheels and tires...

1bad335 · 06-19-2013, 05:25 AM

Well done. Get yourself some rustoleum spray paint and fix those rotors up. That rust looks terrible. I just did mine a few weeks ago and I have had massive rain where I am and they have held up well. Didn't do the entire hub just the edge and it looks so much better.

overkill1125 · 08-25-2013, 09:30 AM

Just added the afe intake. I find that you don't hear much of a difference on comfort or Eco mode.

On sport mode is when you really hear the difference. Step on it hard and then release the pedals and it will make you feel that you installed a bov.

Now i Need to lower the car. i know H&r sport but heard its make your ride bouncy or wait for eibach, had them on previous cars and they were great. It's not as low as h&r but maybe it won't bounce as much. I believe Eibach for xi is not available yet.

Can't decide.

thephantastic · 01-29-2014, 01:18 PM

what % tint?

overkill1125 · 02-12-2014, 10:49 AM

Solar Gard HP Supreme 22

It says 23%

T.Maas · 02-27-2014, 09:22 AM

How did you retrofit the sportline covers? I've read some forums where the bumper needs trimming and other ones where just the covers are trimmed. I'd like to be able to fit the covers without having to cut the bumper :/

You'll just have to trim a little off the back of the cover. Once you have them and try fitting it, you'll know right away where is hits and that's where you'll need to trim. The front top won't be sitting flush but was told to use some clear silicone/glue to fill it and make the cover stay fit to the bumper.

FanboyBMW · 03-24-2014, 01:04 AM

im just wondering what it looks like without the chrome whiskers but still with the fog cover on...? isnt anyone going to please record a tutorial? i did everyone a favor and recorded how to install the M performance grill.. so people please make your tutorials!

T.Maas · 06-15-2014, 11:01 AM

Could you have run 245 section tires? Or would that be too wide?
