Very nice! You did a good job. I would like to change my rear SE bumper for an M sport one but all i find are broken or damaged ones.

Thanks mate

We have done so many things on the car but its rewarding so well worth it. Weve had the E90 for almost 3 years now and done almost 40k miles with not even smallest problem

Yes there are a few plans left to do :
- front bumper splitters in Black Sapphire (not a fan of carbon)
- Performance side skirts with vents in Black Sapphire
- 35% tinted windows all round
- LCI headlights with white LED markers
- Bilstein B12
- Performance BBK or 335 setup + red stuff pads
- Logic 7 subs
- Goodride stainless steel brake lines
- maybe M3 mirrors in Black Sapphire

Thats it

Thank you pal

Yes, its taken me over a year to find a great condition one in Titanium Silver with PDCs. Ive bought the bumper for £100 delivered from QuarryMotors. I had to buy diffuser and bumper brackets in addition to that. It all should cost you less than £200 delivered

Good luck !

Yeah, its great and cheap stuff

If you polish the exhaust a few round the result will be even better. It gets rid of everything easily and gets rid of any marks or scratches.

Looks great, job well done.

Is it a perf. exhaust you have because I want those tips, they look great? If they are replacement slip-ons then please let me know where they're from.

Cheers

gman3msport · 04-04-2013, 04:10 PM

Looking good mate, I have silver car and was thinking of doing black spoiler, diffuser, kidney grills and black roof, how does it look in the flesh? Not sure about black or carbon.

Thanks a lot mate

The exhaust is from BCS and its a full back box, stainless steel. It cost £225 fitted at their garage in St Helens.

Well the carbon is not black, its kind of grey ish so has not such contrast as Black Sapphire. In my opinion Black Sapphire looks better as it has better contrast with silver car

I was thinking to spraying the roof in Black Sapphire but resigned last year. It would look great I think but first you need to tint your windows. The other thing which killed the idea is when it comes to selling the car

I think noone would buy it with black roof lol and respraying would cost around £100 so alltogether £200 just to having black roof :P If the money is no matter and hassle then yeah do it, will look fantastic

gman3msport · 04-05-2013, 04:13 AM

I was thinking of having the roof wrapped, easy fix when coming to sell :-)

Josh1a1h · 04-05-2013, 04:36 AM

That is a very clean motor!

How does the exhaust sound compared to the stock exhaust?

Ohhh yes, thats a better alternative as its cheaper and you can take it off yourself before selling

If there is Black Sapphire Metallic wrap or similar I could get it done

They made a video of the system on my car, here it is :

It sounds a little bit better and looks amazing in flesh !!!

One of the best mods Ive done on the 320d as the standard exhaust is from 60s lol

The tips are 3" so pretty damn big lol

Hope you like it

gman3msport · 04-05-2013, 02:08 PM

Wow that sounds bloody good for a 2ltr diesel!!! That would sound amazing on a 3ltr petrol and a hell of a lot cheaper than the BMW performance exhaust that also sounds sweeeeet.

Yeah it sounds pretty good lol but looks a lot better than it sounds

I am very very please with the looks. It is curved round the bumper, nice and straight and very very robust

The Performance one costs some damn crazy money, why would you pay this amount of money http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Perfor...item2c67161e68

Cheers

PS. I thing the below exhaust system looks better than sdandard 318/320d :
