Never was a fan of the wood grain because if the color of the car. Decided to try wrapping it myself and I am pretty impressed on how it came out. Night and day

Nice job! I have a set of the brushed steel sitting in my basement! The CF looks good.

Had M-style wing mirror caps plus m-performance rear diffuser fitted (gloss black).

Have also replaced the wing mirror indicators with smoked LED sequential ones.

Wood looks very dated now whatever the colour of the car. Your wrapping is a huge improvement

changed auto stop start to remember last setting and also changed so the radio turns off (when ignition is off) when you open driver door.

Both of those have bugged me since getting the car. possibly do some others later but car is booked in for a new diff on monday so i'll wait after that.

Technically yesterday, but replaced my shift knob with the Mperformance knob. Did the same thing back when I had my e46 and it was the best investment. Despite being pricey, its totally worth the shorter shifts and weighted feel.

Looking good! Now you have to get the matching hand brake.

You're best off watching the classifieds. These pop up often when 340 guys upgrade to M Perf, Dinan etc and the stock one can be had for next to nothing. Same for diffuser when folks upgrade to M Perf.

I'm guessing haven't looked in a while aside from whatever your exhaust shop charges you, should be under $300 for everything you need.

Only think u need is the exhaust and a muffler shop willing to do a little bit of fabrication.

I'd recommend getting the 340i hangers too but it will work without them.

The tricky part is getting the exhaust to sit correctly (which requires cutting your hangers or getting 340i hangers) Mine still sits slightly low, which I can personally live with, but keep that in mind

Yay, first accident.

Guy in a parking backed up pretty quick and hit me. Door is all crumpled in, doesn't seal properly any more. Can't wait to deal with this on Monday. At least it drives.
