Mod3: BMW Performance Exhaust, OEM Chromelines & K&N Intake Filter
Hi, finally got to clicking some pictures of the new mods including the BMW Performance Exhaust. Also replaced my Shadowlines with the BMW OEM Chromeline kit (windows and grills) to go with the chrome exhaust and the Silver theme on the car.
For the V-TEC effect, added in the K&N Intake Filter. I am quite happy with it all. All work was performed by Steve who as usual did an excellent job. The chromeline kit came in a huge box that wouldn't fit in my car, thanks to Steve, he came over and installed all the mods for me in a couple of hours. Must say the car should have come with the exhaust and intake filter by default, I sure do feel a marked improvement in low down torque but as I previously said it could be the sporty exhaust music and intake mod doing the decieving but what matters it leaves me with a huge grin. Btw I haven't been listening to my stereo since I put in these mods yesterday, love the tunes out of this thing

Nice!!
May I suggest your next mod? Xenons with angel eyes. By the way, are you hoping to get your wheels and tyres this year?

It's looking great! The chrome trim looks good on your car and of course the dual exhaust outlets are beautiful too. I noticed one piece of chrome is missing from the bootlit since last time I saw it - which is also an improvement in my opinion.
I hope your wheels and tyres turn up soon. |

Methinks you have a 323/325/330. Its looking good! Really liking the front grilles but come on with the wheels already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! Have you thought about the blackline rear lights?
On my car Steve got some welding wire and some insulating stuff and put it around the base of the tips to lift them a bit. Did you take the base of the airbox off too or is it still enclosed? I bet you're going to 4500rpm as much as possible. What has the family made of the mods haha. Calm baby in the back or too noisy now? The 320i crew will really be making some noise now. SOUNDS like there is real performance hahaha. **starts saving for S85 engine swap** |

Thanks, thinking of the xenons but not too sure how the Depot ones we spoke about would be. Lol, hopefully will receive the wheels and tyres a few months from now, have been told they have been assigned a container but they waiting for it to get filled up I reckon so can make good use of my existing tyres in the meanwhile while I wait.

Yupz, trying to get that sweet spot of 4500 quite often, do you normally keep the car in 2nd gear and push to 4500 or in third gear? Baby's still not tried out the new mods

Mostly in 2nd. 3rd is better because the lack of power (and gearing) means the rise up the rev range is slower with a more distinct change over and longer woooshing at 5000rpm. Only problem is.. 3rd gets too fast for the roads.

Damn your car is doing my head in! 320i lights, I6 grill, I6 exhaust, M-sport front, non M-sport rear but with M3 spoiler and now chrome but with matte shadowline....
I think I'd run into something trying to work it out!

Btw the OEM Matte shadowline has been replaced to OEM chrome ones too..guess is the lighting in the pictures if you didn't notice it, is not a matte shadowline anymore and the grill is part of the chromeline kit. I think it all fits in well since I don't have any CF parts on my car, CF splitters or a CF diffuser etc to go with the matte shadowlines but then no fun without differing opinions so do see your point of view. As an aside, in the US where the chromeline kit is standard on all E90"s, guys there change from chromelines to shadowline or gloss shadowline, I guess is the case of the grass being always greener or chrome or matte or glossy black on the other side Last edited by cruvon; 01-20-2011 at 07:14 PM.. |

Do you still have the shadowlines or were they trashed when you removed them? I've been wanting to de-chrome for a while now
