You would need to retrofit a CIC for it to work.

I agree, the 189s look better, especially on an e90.

I have two family members with vehicles down, so I used it as a taxi today.

Got it back last week after a month and I am pretty pleased. Fitment could be better but oh well. Not too bad. Wheels coming soon.

What was done (engine)?
VRSF Catless Downpipes
VRSF Charge Pipe
HKS Synapse BV
Walnut Blasting


What was done (body)?
Repair and Upgrade to M3 Rep Fenders
Upgrade to M3 Rep Side Skirts
Repair to driver side door (Side Swipped and I tried removing green paint that was splased on it with nail polish remover....Big F'ing Mistake...looked horrible).

Later on today I'll be swapping the OEM grills for Performance Gloss Black and putting fender reflector back in and Washer Cover.

All thanks and praise to Matt and Martin.

Watch a YouTube video. I'd argue. The hardest part of that job Is getting the door panel off 😂


Edit: wow epic fail on my part 😂😂😂 didn't even realize I was on the first page. Just quoted a guy from 2011

The never ending retrofits are continuing. I found a set of heated sports seats in NJ.





For $200 I can just take the heated seat parts and put them in my seats.

Installed white line subframe bushing inserts. Some how it took me about 3.5 hours of work. Then again there were a few breaks in there since its hot, humid and the mesquitos were horrible...next is H&R sport springs that I bough from a guy here. On another note...

I have always been Nickco43 on here.


I am a bit bumbed. The heated seat element can not be removed without damaging it. My seat cover swap idea is not happening now. I super glued the driver's seat tear and it looks decent now. The passenger seat is turning out immaculate. The passenger seat alone is worth $200. I guess some day I will buy another driver's seat.





Leatherique will work it's magic over the next week while I get everything ready for the swap.

You super glued it? That will be an impressive maintenance receipt for the 3 ring binder.

That thread is so cringe. I would rather show off how little I spend to keep my car on the road following the recommended maintenance schedule than show off how much money I pissed away. I would rather have a little bit more worn seat that will keep my ass warm than a cleaner seat with a cold ass.
