I dont think i should?

The front left alloy has a flat spot from a pothole anyways

[Aragorn30d]

Shame, they'd have looked tidy on the new car!

[Jase 320d]

They run true enough just few kerb marks and that flat spot

I think the mv3's although not standard fit to this model suit it quite well and look less modified which i think makes it look better

Plus the mv3's have brand new pirelli pzero's on

😖

[Aragorn30d]

Aye each to their own etc i guess. I've got MV3's on my own car and i'm also quite happy with them.

However on yours, the MV3's and SE bodywork and silver paint all just look a bit bland and boring to me. The old wheels look pretty cool and would have spiced it up a bit.

But then if your wanting the not-modified look its probably spot on.

[Jase 320d]

Could always refurb the mv3's in ferric grey i suppose

[Jase 320d]

Nothing too exciting


Picked the car up on friday and i love it. What a world of difference away from a 320d. Also loving the spec on it. Has soo much kit on it. With coming from an ES model (lucky to have a radio) you really appreciate the extra's


Today's job was clean the engine bay

Nice upgrade. Good job on tidying the bay up.

[Jase 320d]

Thanks mate.
I devoted 5 hours on sunday to making it feel like my car. Cleaned everything top to bottom including carpets and leather / bay.

Even took exhaust pipes off and dremelled them with a buffer

Polished and waxed too (im sad i know)

all that in 5 hours! what are you, The Flash!? :P

you gotta fit those wheels off the E90, and get a new M3 bumper for this one

[Jase 320d]

Boring update really

But as we all know the rubber on the oem steering wheel fascia is a joke.

So i have tonight wrapped it in carbon wrap, looks much better imo

[Jase 320d]

Just bought some eibach pro springs

Loving the price of the euro at the minute

Eibach springs from uk suppliers (around £190-200)

Shipped from germany for £120! Result

+1 to that!!

[Jase 320d]

Lowered with eibcahs and plate on

[JM85]

Looks good mate, my E90 is on Eibach's too & very happy with them

Looks good on the MV3's, I keep toying with getting some 313's

[Jase 320d]

Gave the brakes a lick of paint


Before








After

[Jase 320d]

Painted wheels gloss black

£12 all in

[dy63]

£12 for four cans? And primer and laquer?

[borinous]

Looks a good finish for rattle can job!!

4 can's?

What you spraying like

2 cans of gloss and had primer and laquer in the shed from previous projects

[JM85]

Cars looking good, I'm not a fan of black wheels but I do like the drop you've got from the springs

How are you finding the ride? not sure if your Evergreen tyres are RFT or not?

[Jase 320d]

Front tyre's are plop. They came with the car. At least the rears are pirelli pzero's

Ride isn't too bad actually. Had h&r's before and they were horrendous. The eibach pro's seem a good comprimise

Tyres are all non rft's. I prefer it that way 👌🏻

[Jase 320d]

And one of the rears has been welded previously so this is only a temp spray job so i wasnt too bothered

Eventually new wheels will be bought
