Dark Vader From Malaysia

MR1818 · 11-11-2016, 01:57 AM

Hi all.. Got my BMW 330i LCI 9th April 2016. This was how it looked when I first got it..

Factory Modifications from Auto Bavaria Malaysia
M Performance BBK (Front & Back)
M Performance Interior Trims
- Dashboard
- Gear-knob
- Handbrake Lever
- Center-console
- Door-trims

MR1818 · 11-11-2016, 02:03 AM

First thing to do when I got my car was to change the rims and add on an after market M Perf. bodykit and also to cover the blue in the BMW logo to black.

- Konig rims 19" (Michelin PSS)
- M Perf Front Lip
- M Perf Rear Diffuser (Quad Exhaust)
- M Perf Rocker Panel
- M Perf Bootlip
- AC Schnitzer Roof Spoiler

Next is do make so noise for it so I decided to go for a custom exhaust by one of our famous local exhaust shop Everco. Also they are making the first unit for the 330i LCI (B48 engine) with a valvetronic exhaust like what Armytrix, IPE & Fi Exhaust and it sound superb!

- Everco Valvetronic Exhaust (Downpipe Onwards)

Next was to drop the ride height and also reducing some body roll therefore I decided to go with the H&R Sports Springs and Anti-roll bar. Also I manage to grab hold to 1 set of Goodridge SSBH for my Dark Vader.

While being away from town, I decided to do a chrome wrap and change the front bumper to a M3 bumper and here is the outcome..

- H&R Anti-roll Bar
- H&R Sports Springs
- Goodridge SSBH
- Red Chrome wrap by Wraphauz
- M3 Front Bumper

MR1818 · 11-11-2016, 02:45 AM

Manage to find a used M Perf. Alcantara LED Steering which is used for 3-4 months and I quickly grabbed it. Now I have a complete M Performance interior.. Also it comes with the M3 paddle shifters.

wow car has come a long way. looks great. love the wrap and the way you highlighted the fins on the bumper in black.

lo_xyooj · 11-11-2016, 08:56 AM

That's one heck of a transformation!

.BMW. · 11-11-2016, 11:45 AM

Looks great!

goj · 11-11-2016, 11:54 AM

What made you go with this color of wrap? I wouldn't want to draw police attention like that!

ronanz · 11-11-2016, 12:07 PM

WOW! Can't imagine anyone closer than Singapore having anything close to yours...not my taste (wrap), but good job sir! Power upgrades next?

Truly unique!

MR1818 · 11-17-2016, 08:11 PM

Something came in the mail yesterday and sure I'm damn happy!!

Directly took to a panel workshop of my friend and request them to install, and next! Guess what? Dyno time!
I am damn happy now with the figures I got from Burger Motorsport JB4 Map1.

Run001 - Stock
Run002 - Everco Custom Valvetronic Exhaust (Valve Open)
Run003 - Everco Custom Valvetronic Exhaust (Valve Open) + JB4 (Map1)

ShawnOST · 11-18-2016, 07:11 AM

Wow! That is quite the transformation. That chrome wrap is different, but very interesting!

mike@x-ph.com · 11-19-2016, 10:46 PM

Nice!!

MR1818 · 11-22-2016, 08:22 PM

Owh ya. Not to forget I did a custom side lip for my rear M Performance bumper and here is how it looks.

MR1818 · 11-23-2016, 07:09 PM

After about 6 months time 20k+ mileage the iDrive system trigger me that the front brake pads have remaining 20%. Therefore decided to head to my friends workshop and get one pair of these, Endless MX72 ultimate street ceramic-carbon-metallic compound.

Yeap! These pads do bite well..

Nice! Let us know if the brake dust is just as bad as the stock M Sport pads.

By the way... I'm amazed at the stock torque readings from your dyno... Is that an error?
