Yeah, crazy prices for CF parts from Robson Design. GetBmwparts and Bimmian is very competitively priced and have both BMW steering wheel & their own variants. Also I think Studie AG + in Japan have lot's of exclusive BMW parts, not sure how they are priced though.

I am contemplating putting one on and can't find one that will fit a modern line, or more to the point, none of the vendors I have spoken with will confirm it fits.

Thanks

Check out the ALPINA Front Lip if you don't want the M Sport bumper plus M performance Lip.

I inquired with the upholster (Doyles) about the dash, they mentioned they couldn't do it. The total cost for the complete retrim and sport seat conversion was just under $4000.

Be safe

I'll post some pics of it, once it's done. The leather is noticeably softer and smoother than Dakota leather.

I agree. I've gotten a little out of hand, modifications is quite addictive and costly at the same time. Could've gotten a 335i with that amount.

Thanks

I ordered it from http://www.pasco-hk.com/

Installation was a 2 min job. Wedged a flat wooden tool beneath the existing side sills & wedge upwards to pop out the clips, snap-in the new one and that was it.

Here's some iPhone pics. Will post some better pics tomorrow.

Thanks. I got the floor mats from BMR Autowerkes.

The larger screen conversion is actually an iDrive upgrade, got it from a seller in Singapore - Elebest who shipped the kit & I installed it myself. Not much on the M side of things just a track timer.

knightsabers · 07-04-2015, 10:37 AM

Swapped out the MPE for a Supersprint Exhaust. Changed to a 335i rear diffusers, blacked out rear reflectors & installed side splitters.
