You can buy it through him too.. You don't have to provide it always.

There is not a shop that does AA tuning (in particular), but there are quite a few good shops in Holland that may know how to...

Contact In-Tune Imports in Holland. I don't know if they do or not, but worth a call..

so here is an update i drove about 175 miles on friday and there is no drone the exhaust wakes up when you put your foot down to pass others...now i see why people choose BMW PE

Glad to see this 328i upgrade thread. Just got one and find the car to be boring. Coming from a nice souped up R32 this is like driving a Geo Metro. But...I am stuck with it now so I will make the best of it.
So far I have done a full LED upgrade to the interior. Next is either the LUX or a BMW PE to get a bit more manly sound to this girly ride.
Looking forward to your other mods!

BTW how was the side marker install? No biggy? I got a JET BLACK Sedan E90 and will either go Murder or do a clear accent. Not sure yet.

The side marker was fairly easy. take a pry plastic tool to the back of it and move it forward and it should pop out it takes 3 minutes... the BMW PE upgrade was great i plan on an AA tune, right now i have a list of things i plan on doing to give this coupe some personality

R32 is pretty sick, but don't sleep on the 328.. I'd venture to say that once you better understand how to milk every ounce of power from the inline 6 and respect the handling, not to mention the refinement you'll be singing a different tune. My previous rides - WRX, Legacy 2.5GT, and most recent Saab 2.8 Aero.. All of which had better acceleration the Saab most likely acceleration and top speed, but none of which more satisfying to drive on a daily basis than my base model 328.. (with 16' wheels). Once you "get it" you'll "get it".

Just got my roof vinyl this past weekend. a black top does something to the look of the AW...Looking for rims now and thinking about doing a DIY Euro Intake this weekend.

BMW PE
Sprint Booster
Smoked Reflectors
Smoked Sidemarkers
Painted Roof Mirror Black
18's staggered set up
Aero front lip bumper
Trunk Lid spolier
Black and white roundel hood and trunk and wheels
H&R springs
Carbon fiber Trim or all black trim interior
Dynavin system
Lux Angel eyes
Rear bumper M tech
AFE intake stage 2
Drilled & slotted rotors

Sounds like a great plan but PLEASE dont disrespect the roundel by changing its colors.

I was feeling the same way but it really goes with my whole ideal with black accents. I think I'm leaving the roundels on the wheels as OEM
