You might be right, the car had LCI wing mirrors fitted, and the head lights are the same as a friends 2012 M3,

Yeah very true. Are your indicators blinking at the normal speed? I found that I didnt have an error but they were blinking twice as fast so had to code that.

Indicators are fine, I say that but I will check again when I get home.

Beautiful e93.... It looks in great condition mine is far away from mint!

I want your gloss black trim and bonnet grills ��

I'm looking forward to pics of the lci rear lights ��

Loving the newer style shifter! Definitely doing that when I obtain my next e9x which will be auto, any reason for using a manual boot? Does the standard auto one not reach?

Thanks Marc, I will try and get some pics up soon of the rear, I've also now fitted a performance diffuser so the rear is almost complete.

Piano black trim is probably the best trim in my opinion, either that or carbon leather. Very hard to keep clean though but looks the nuts.

You can use the normal auto one but i wanted to get rid of the horrible plastic trim which tells you which mode your in, P,R,D,DS etc.

As the new shiftier tells you that there is no need for it anymore either.

Gorgeous colour! My mate owned a E46 M3 Vert in this oclour and certainly made it stand out from the rest. Either that or his matching purple angels! lol

Update time again:

So two weekends ago I visited Dsport who fitted my Eibach springs. These offer the perfect drop for me and really close that front arch gap but also reduce car roll at the same time. I had already fitted my LCI lights and Performance diffuser but never taken any pics.

Next job was to get my wheels refurbed but I also needed my hubs and callipers touching up. I came across a company called Reep Detailing in North Yorkshire who are Swissvax specialist. As my car was going to be with them for 3 days because of the wheels I decided to go with their full enhancement detail which is basically a step down from a full correction.

I had asked them to diamond cut my 313s again but after inspection it was no longer possible as they had been cut twice before. I had thought about going down the shadow chrome route in the past as I run these wheels all year round. In addition to the enhancement detail, wheel refurb, hub and calliper painting they removed the 330 badge and fitted a new rear badge plus machined my piano black trim inside.

These are not the best pics but I think you can see the hard work that has gone in and the paint work looks amazing. I'm really chuffed with the wheels too! The finish is better than I could ever had hoped.

Excellent update on the refurb.

I had mine done shadow chrome too and everyone loved the colour and look. And as you say no issues running them up all year round now compared to the original diamond cut.

Wow looking clean and shiny!

I'm very please with it, its very hard to photo accurately. The fact that i don't have to worry come winter time is a massive bonus too

Its amazing what a proper detail can do to a cars paint work, hopefully through proper maintenance it will stay like that for a long time.

Cheers mate. Yea I think the petrol ones get better over time, so might have to wait a few weeks to make a vid. Just need to get it fitted haha

[Joshbm]

I love the colour of this!

[BMW Steve]

Looking very swish, mine is in for some paint correction and a full mop. hope its as shiny..... what is the carbon thingy?

[RajB]

They'll make a nice addition to the car. PE 'zorst will sound superb.

Car looks awesome. Amazing colour! Wheels look ace too, I was thinking of chrome when I Refurb mine. Might go chrome with black inners to give them a two tone look like standard 313s.

Just wondered how you're finding the springs. Do they make a difference to the handling? I ask cos that's the one thing I don't like about my 330 cab, the back end dips a lot when going round corners, doesn't seem right at all. Wondered if a simple spring change makes much difference?
