After trying to get the lip installed I found out it would need to be permanently glued on. Decided I didn't want to have anything permanent so went with double splitters. Also got the VRSF V2 catback
Edit: 6/8/13 Just dropped it off at the shop. Here's some better pics of the splitters and one of the things getting installed while its there

Picked up the car a few days ago after getting some routine maintenance done along with one major and one minor change. Major change is the car is finally lowered on KW V1's
. I think i'm going to raise it up a bit in the front since it is rubbing a tiny bit but scraping a lot. I'm also probably going to lower the back a bit. The owner of the shop made the back a bit higher so it would look more aggressive and I love it but when a bit lower will be better. I'm still going to keep it higher than the front but not much. Also keep in mind this drop is on the 17" winter wheels... Should be a lot better once I can get the silver alufelgens back on.
The other mod I did which is minor is I had them tint the sidemarkers and I threw in some LED bulbs. I'll post pictures below of everything including stock bulb vs LED. So far i'm undecided on if I like having the sidemarkers tinted or not... I'd appreciate everyones thoughts since I haven't made up my mind yet. Anyways let me know your thoughts
I also apologize if these pictures aren't the greatest, they were just some quick snaps with an iphone.

Got bored today and decided to try plastidipping the lines of the LCI stock rear bumper. The good thing is I can peel it off anytime I want. I do plan on switching to the M sport rear but for now i think this looks decent. Let me know what you think
08/21/12 Update:
While driving my OEM charge pipe broke off and cracked so i had to replace it with the ER. I chose to get the ER with a blue Tial BOV and one meth bung in case i ever decide to add meth. I also just finished installing a M3 wheel i bought from a member yesterday.

05/06/12 Update:
I got most of my first few mods finished up this week and I have a few more to come. Next weekend I should have the new shift knob and the windows tinted. I think i'm going to do rims next then suspension after that to get rid of the floaty xDrive feeling. I thought the floaty feeling wasn't that bad until last night when I did some highway runs against my friends 335D. Taking even the slightest turn or going over any bump in the 80-110 range was really frightening... Down the road i'll probably do an AE exhaust and some more performance mods but i'm satisfied with the power for now. Here's the mods that have been done so far: Black Grille, Black fins on the front bumper, Lux Angel eyes, Stett CAI, JB4, HPB Interior LED kit, Carbon fiber wrapped interior, ACS Aluminum Pedals, SG reflectors, Short throw clutch stop, CDV mod, and also hardwired my radar detector. Here are the updated pictures after a quick wash today:
04/21/12 After its first wash and some minor mods:
So I picked up my new car thursday of last week and just did a quick wash this morning and thought i'd share some pictures. I have a lot of mods planned and have already done a few things. I have a JB4 and Stett CAI sitting in my closet waiting to go in, but i'm not putting those in for another week or two since i'm still learning stick on the car... I also blacked out the grilles and debadged the xDrive from the side this morning although I may put the xDrive logo back on. Last night i ordered some Lux angel eyes so those should be coming in within the next week or two and I have a few more minor mods that I plan to order soon. I know it needs a drop and painted reflectors bad, but other than that let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.
Edit: Forgot to add the front plate will also be going soon, i just need to get some bumper plugs first.
04/17/12 Bought the car. Dealership Pics Before any Mods:
