Awesome you've started a thread! Looking forward to seeing what the car looks like with the Oz Ultraleggara's and BMW Performance front bumper. Last time I saw your car it was all SE trim I think.

I am sure you will have people queuing up for the BMWP intake if you swap it!

 

You must have loaded photos as I was posting! What a transformation!!! It looks awesome. I am not normally a fan of black wheels but they look great with the Sparkling Graphite and the aggression of the BMWP bumper.

 

Random others

Cheers Jon I should of done it ages ago. Its been an ongoing project although there's no set aim as such. Just randomly throwing parts at it Quite a transformation since I collected your 313's.

Depending on your review of the gruppem I may move the intake on. Got a few general maintenance items I would like to do at some point as well.

 

Looks brilliant &#x1f44d-1f3fb;

Thank you.

 

That's ace.

The carbon air intake makes a great noise (had it on my old 330).

Thanks Sam. On balance it's my favourite mod I've done so far. As soon as I saw it advertised on here I snapped it up and I've not seen one since.

 

Great to see your car!!

They seem to have held their money well on the used market. I originally wanted the M Performance exhaust but it turned out that at some point in the life of the E90 they changed the exhaust diameter and mine was too big so I'd have had to change the centre section making it too expensive. I opted for the carbon intake instead...it made a great noise especially the last 500rpm.

Thanks Mark. Really pleased with the front bumper. I'd been half heartedly looking for one for some time but most were fairly ropey with no ducts and fixings etc. This one popped up on Ebay brand new with everything included plus genuine black grills. The chap was going to fit it on his 123d before it went bang! Probably paid top dollar for it but for some things it's a sellers market especially BMWP items for the E8X.

How's yours? Not seen an update in a while.

Yeah sometimes you have to bite the bullit eh?...

I just had a small update...car is almost done!! 🙈

Msport rear bumper currently in the body shop

I reckon this will help balance out the aggression of the BMWP front bumper versus the tamer SE rear bumper. Will look great once it is on. Are you going with OEM diffuser or an aftermarket one?

How do you find the flat bottom steering wheel? Always thought about getting Jack to change mine and always chicken out!

 

Its been sat in the garage for months but now the front is done it definitely needs doing. As you say to balance out front and rear.
After a chat with the body shop they were going to fit it with standard diffuser first and see what I think. Not overly keen on standard grey as there's nothing else on the car in that shade.
Just seen Mark above post a picture of his in matt black and I'm liking that. We shall see.

Regarding the steering wheel it doesn't bother me. I'm not really a shuffler so it rarely comes into play. Still getting used to the alcantara after years of leather

 

Thanks for taking me out in this, certainly drove/sounded great and looked brilliant!!

Thanks James it was a pleasure. Not a bad 328i either :drive:

As per your recommendation I popped into that garage but they're quite busy at the moment. In the process of stockpiling some service items so will try them in the New Year when work is less manic.

Hope the grills fitted

 

Thanks [emoji16]

Yes he's absolutely flat out currently so sounds like a good plan!

Haven't had chance to fit them yet but I'm sure they'll be spot on [emoji106]

Very very nice!

What did you do with the headlight washers when you swapped the bumpers over? Don't think I can see any on the BMWP version?

Also can you wait until after xmas to sell the BMWP stuff please, unless you're willing to take credit card

I think they were disconnected or tied up. Will double check with the body shop when the rear bumper gets fitted. I was assured they're not squirting water everywhere and it passed the MOT so I'm happy
Also needed to source some pdc sensors from Ebay. Havn't got front pdc

I do fancy a change of intake but it definitely won't be until next year now. Need to get down and listen to Jonwilli's before I commit to anything.

Seems to be a potential queue for it

 

Car looks great. Love the colour, only other person I know with that colour is Mark Hurley. His car is very tidy.
Like the front bumper, don't see many of them.
Keep up the great work and most importantly keep us posted 😛

Thanks RoyBoy. Got a few things in the pipeline planned for it.
Car going in Saturday for rear bumper fitment and hopefully something else if it arrives in time. . .

That sounds intriguing...hope it arrives in time as I am sure it will be of interest! Hope it doesn't tempt me to open my wallet

Not your wallet. . .

 

Wow, this an impressive beast! Props.

I must say, and I realise I'm swimming against the current here, I don't see what the appeal of the BMWP front bumper is, it just looks like a silly grin to me. Everything else though, pretty epic.
