My 2010 Black E92 M Sport (UK)

Hi all,

Treated myself to a new car last month. I had a BMW 120D Hatch for 8months, but someone offered me more than I paid for it so couldn't say no. So went out and bought myself a 2010 E92 M Sport. I've always loved the 3 series coupe, and got this one for a good price.
It was nice enough when I picked it up, but I always like to make some changes to all my cars. My old 1 series wasn't an M Sport, but I added M sport wheels, rear bumper, and coupe front bumper.

Pics of 1 Series:




Here's how the 3 series looked when I picked it up:




The first change I made was upgrading the Angel Eye bulbs for H8 Cree 40W LED's, each bulb has 8 LED's, they are as close to the LCI brightness I could find for a bulb upgrade:



Over the next couple of weeks I managed to get a decent priced set of Genuine 19" MV4 Wheels, I painted my front Kidney Grills and Added a M3 spoiler.
The weather was good today so I spent a good few hours cleaning the car. I TCut, clayed, polished and waxed it.
So here is how it was looking this afternoon.
During:




After:









The exhaust was really black too, so I covered it in wonder wheels wheel cleaner, then used some fine sand paper so take the majority of the dirt off. Turned out ok, i'll polish it up tomorrow.




Interior, pretty much immaculate, doesn't look like the rears were used very much by the previous owner:





No more plans for it, think it looks pretty much perfect now. I'd like some LCI rear lights, but would never pay such a premium for them.

Thoughts and feedback welcome

Beautiful BMWs - congratulations on the new E92. The wheels look really good. Glad to see you're keeping it in tip-top shape.

Thanks!
The wheels were a bargain. They cost me the equivalent of around $830 I think, they are all unmarked as new. I just had to replace two of the tyres.

Want to order a set of these, but shipping to UK is £18.
Anyone know of a UK stockist?

I'm happy with the E92, I don't think i'll be keeping it long though. I do too many miles to and from work, and think i'll have a company car in the next few months. so thought i'd treat myself to something nice while I still could.
