My e92 325i Alpine white
Hi
I recently purchased a 2008 e92 325i in Alpine white. Attached are some pictures. I am trying to decide what mods to do to the car. So far I have decided on gloss black grilles, rear boot spoiler and some new alloys. I am trying to decide between OEM 313s or gloss black MV4s. Regarding the spoiler I like the new BMW performance spoiler but think it may be slightly OTT. Any suggestions? |

Looking good! As a fellow 325er, there's one mod which should be near the top of your list - a Performance Exhaust back box. Without it, the car sounds little better than a hybrid IMHO...

Nice car mate - always a sucker for AW - Would love one myself!
IMO, the 313s on the AW cars look the absolute NUTS! Do it! Look forwrd to seeing its progress |

Here is what you are looking for
I would personally go for MV4 in Anthracite.

1) LOADS better! You will not believe the difference. Transforms the car IMO. 2) P/E can only be sourced from a BMW dealer. 3) I paid £730 inc VAT (no fitting cost as I did it myself). The clamp is supplied with the muffler, so you don't need to buy that separately.

If I'm honest, no.

Some updates on my car. I have swapped the MV3s for 313s but am contemplating swapping them for some black csl alloys!
Im also in two minds about what spoiler to install either a performance spoiler or a bootlid spoiler. |

]So
In the last few weeks I ordered a high-kick performance spoiler from BC.moto which arrived a few days ago and I had fitted a few days ago. Really pleased with it. Was at a local wheel place yesterday with a friend who was after some wheels for his a5 and i mentioned to the owner that I was about to order some black gloss m359 wheels. He showed me a picture of some wheels he could get and quoted me a price to which I couldn't say no! So I had them fitted today! Pics are below. |

Why didn't you keep the 313s. I'm trying to decide between them or csls.
