kyleb350 · 10-01-2008, 09:55 AM

crap, I will be screwed then

OP, do a search in the photo gallery section. I saw 1 or 2 with retrofitted M3 side skirts.

I was wondering the same thing and thought they wouldn't be noticeable at all either.

I gained only about 25 whp from my side skirts. 45 was advertised so I'm upset.

That's cause you bought the 29.2+ version. Pre-software skirts will get you the 45whp. But beware of various limps and CELs. Also remember to give it a few days and let it adapt.

hmm... am i missing anything else?

if you attach rocket boosters to your side-skirts this thread might make sense in this forum....

nice thanks for answers

The M ones might be lighter than the stock ones. Might improve your power to weight ratio.

asdflkijd · 10-02-2008, 01:02 AM

They make a difference... depends which one you are talking about... I have a set of OEM Mtech sides primed and for E90 if you are interested..

SV Concepts III · 10-02-2008, 12:26 PM

Side skirts definitely change the look, we put the M Sport sides on our E92 335 and it gave it a lower more aggressive setup. The stock ones are kind of wimpy if you ask me.

**335i** · 10-02-2008, 01:05 PM

i am thinking of adding all m package (european version) i mean all exterior details (front rear bumper and side skirts) wonder about exhaust system, if someday i will want to change from stock into aftermarket exhaust wont be a problem m package rear bumper?

M sides are definitely worth it, I'm going to get a set after I get my wheels.

I've seen them on a black e92 and they really do stand out.
