Crazy re oil change, is indeed so cheap these days, even from BMW amazingly! I'm about to do the opposite and get an additional interim change for a track day. Must admit I'm not as OCD as others re cleaning. Just use the local valets. I did take out a discounted 3 year offering when I bought the car for bodywork scratches and alloy/wheel repair, so maybe I'm a bit more relaxed about nicks. |

Pretty much every single one i found on ebay are fake carbon. You will need to wrap or paint them to make them look acceptable IMO. Fitment though is perfect. I will post some pics when it goes body colour as I haven't quite made up my mind. Either way they cover the chrome at the top of the headlight which is a win! |

Car is looking good bro, and all the mods are coming along nicely
Not to keen on the eyebrows in gloss black though... Looking to get myself a Performance rear spoiler and front splitter, gives the car that meaner look.

Yeah the brows will be changing soon. It's a shame I can't find any mineral grey wrap before committing to painting! I can't wait to see how your F36 turns out. The front splitter design is actually a lot better then the F30s i think. Should look great! |

F3Xs do look on point with all the performance parts, suits them well. Don't think I will be jumping into much exterior mods until later on in the year tbh, but making a wishlist though Where did you get your spoiler and splitter, haven't seen much in gloss... mostly matter black is what is up for sale. I am contemplating whether to go Carbon on all exterior accents and performance parts... Will focus on safety aspects and interior comforts first Looking forward to see what else you have planned!!!

Splitter: https://ebay.us/d3mY72 Yeah the majority of stuff online is matt but IMO looks a little unfinished. Carbon is a good shout for you. Even forged carbon looks good. Might give forged mirror caps a go if i can find it for a decent price. Oh and the splitter is a great optical illusion. Makes the car look lower but in fact the clearance is very similar to stock. Great mod. Keep us posted |

Yeah not the typical mods I go for but worth mentioning you won't catch the calipers/v brace reflecting back at you 90% of the time. Only shows up in certain lighting and angles.
I saw a rolling shot of them on a dark motorway once and I knew I had to have them |

The real question is how the hell did you wrap your calipers?

Does the heat from the brakes not affect the wrap? Does look quite cool though!

Happy new year guys
Haha, it really is an intricate job that takes a good couple hours to do properly. Quote:
The red version is very cool, like the caliper is glowing red hot. Quote:

Beautiful looking car mate, not massively keen on the lighter blue calipers/crash bar wrap though.
Out of interest and excuse my ignorance but what version of the straight 6 does the 335i have? Is it the N55? Have it in my M135i and it's amazing.

Mine's the N55. Which is the updated version of the N54 I totally agree I love how she pulls & sounds. The burbles in sport+ make me weak at the knees. |
