No, it’s a rep from Ikon Motorsports. Great fitment and quality, though, and the body shop didn’t need the MSport fender liners or brake ducts that I bought to make it work.

Nice, I'll have to look into them too. 🤙

Pic 1: Old hpfp out

Pic 2: Old hpfp from 2010

Pic 3: New hpfp is in!

Pic 4: Gotta work with what you got

U should hav done a diy or write without taking intake off to save time

How much did the pain cost you?

I was considering it but there are a couple write ups floating around.

I used this one for reference.

Very very true. My back does not appreciate me carrying them around!

The bumper came with the grilles and fog lights (plus an extra set of fog lights) for $324 with free shipping. The body shop charged Just over $600 for removing the old one and painting/installing the new one; probably too much, but covered by insurance, so whatever. And then I Just bought H11-to-9006 pigtails for the new fog lights which cost $13. So just shy of $1k all in.

Do you got the link? I cant find it

RealJ22 · 07-21-2019, 02:42 PM

Bought an E46 M3 hood so I can mold the power dome to my current car. It was only $10 so I could not pass it up.

Welcome to NBA Jam · 07-21-2019, 03:37 PM

Leatherique'd the front seats and armrests

Amggbb6 · 07-21-2019, 07:08 PM

Finally put on spacers. Next up is coil overs.

Really interested to see the results!

Drove my E90 328i on a 3 hour 185 mile freeway loop. Car briefly hit 100 mph with an average speed of 80 mph. Put a smile on my face and reminded me that I don't need a 335i to enjoy an E90

It’s this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-09-11-E90-LCI-M-T-Msport-Front-Bumper-Cover-Replacement-Fog-Lights-Pair-/372649861003?txnId=1114796778024

Looks like it says out of stock now, though, so you may wanna reach out to them.

Today I went to the store while leaving the dog in the car (BMW 525), because it was impossible to take with. But coming back, I realized that my lock is broken! Just stuck. Live dog inside, very hot, can you imagine how scared I was? Thank God that I had a phone (usually I also leave it inside). I immediately called the nearest locksmith and it was emergencylocksmithvancouver.ca, but waited for him for about an hour. The worst thing is to hear your dog whine and understand that you will not help her in any way. I already didn’t care how much money I would have to pay for repairs. Fortunately, Snoopy got off with a great thirst, and I am only 20 dollars. Check locks as often as possible.

MEN54 · 07-22-2019, 08:09 AM

Installed 12.5 spacers

King Rudi · 07-22-2019, 09:10 AM

Not a BMW but finally got the tail lights smoked on the Lexus. This was the 3rd attempt and required a SHIT TON of sanding to remove all the previous 2 attempts. Sanded them down to bare plastic then 240, 400, 600, 800, 1200 grit. Sprayed with 2 coats of NightShade, let them sit for 3 hours, then sanded with 1200 again. Sprayed with 2k clear (4 coats), then sanded again with 1200, then 2000, then 300; then cutting polish and then 3M machine polish. Quite pleased with the end result. Not sure why my pictures always look so shitty when uploading from my phone.

Just did my first ever oil change on my first ever BMW. Kind of happy right now.
