Got a New Mod-What do you think?

cstavaru · 10-04-2010, 03:58 AM

Sorry for your accident !

If you can, get the BMW Performance front bumper. It has all the airflow of the M3 bumper but the overall car design will look more "fresh".

Sorry to hear that Mr.5 luckily noone got hurt. You can get quite some money for your neck pain ;-)

Alpina_B3_Lux · 10-04-2010, 05:34 AM

Glad to hear you're ok dude. Pity about the car though, I totally feel with you.

Same happened to me two months ago, only with a 15 ton bus doing the same. The extent of the damage was much more severe than in your case, unfortunately, but it's almost all repaired now.

I'm glad I had the active headrests (introduced with the LCI I believe), as I didn't have any whiplash. Still waiting for the replacement of those, though (BMW Individual leather takes some time...).

At least you'll get new bumpers that will be free of scratches, paid by the insurance. That's what I told myself when I saw my car after the accident...

UPDATE--

Good news...My insurance called me today and said that I don't have to worry about my deductible because the guy behind me already made a statement that he was responsible so there's going to be no BS with that.
All I have to do now is take my car to the body shop. I've already told the body shop manager what I wanted and he said no problem.

Also, moving to the exterior section.

I think I'll stay with the M3 rep bumper. It does such a good job with cooling to the OC, and IC.
M-tech rear bumper and Vorsteiner vented hood.

shragon · 10-05-2010, 11:26 PM

ahhhh, that sucks to see! i've been in a similar accident, where i was sandwiched. guy who hit me from behind was going pretty fast. wound up getting whiplash.

anyway, perfect time to go lci up front (bumper, hood). def do m-tech for the rear.

Where did you get the M3 bumper? I am curious about fitment and ducting to oil cooler and brakes. To my knowledge no one has done a DIY on this. It did look great on your car! Good luck with repairs.

Thanks.
I just took the ducting off. Air will still get to my brakes through the hole and I have an aftermarket oil cooler which sits a little lower so the air to that is perfect. You can get the bumper at JLevi and the fitment is perfect.

awww that sucks monkey balls. You had the best looking m3 front on an e90. Good thing you are ok.

Mr. 5 · 10-07-2010, 09:58 PM

Ordered the Vorsteiner Race hood today.
It's gonna take 4 weeks.
