My 330i M-Tech/M-Sport mod in the USA

ksfrogman · 05-15-2006, 01:35 AM

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and now that the E90 M Aerodynamic Kit is available in the U.S., this is what happened today:

ksfrogman · 05-15-2006, 01:37 AM

M-Tech Aero-Kit consisted of front bumper with HWS, fog lights, side skirts, rear bumper with PDC and rear diffuser.

Props to:

Gilda for putting up with a hot day away from home, while we worked on our cars.

longtran for his friendship, infinite wisdom, hospitality and for going out of his way for actually delivering these parts to the body shop, picking them up, for his bbq, food, drinks, ... the list goes on and on. Also to Jennifer for keeping Gilda company, for her generosity, for always being supportive and for letting us camp out on Mother's Day to work on our cars.

marcus who has become a true next-door neighbor buddy always willing to lend a helping hand

NaTuReBOY for always supporting the SoCal Blackline e90 group, for bringing a playmate for little marcus, for making our day much more fun in the sun.

mava330 for his pick-me-up comradery, camera expertise and for making these pictures possible when there wasn't much light out this evening.

DEAN325i for putting up with my old skool (or old man's) way of shaking hands and greeting. You're the next Mike Bibby!

jbjwc and Tina (spelling?) for joining us for the BBQ, photoshoot, and post-mod modding this evening.

dtmryan from DTMAutohaus for helping support all of us with info, exciting future mods, and useful e90 products.

Very nice, I like the plate. You will be supercharged with a brembo BBK and HRE's in no time.

WOW!!!!!! That just looks so beautiful!!!!!!!!

Things always get worse before they get better:

Hey Michael, you might wanna blur out your license plate!

btw, BEAUTIFUL mods!

ksfrogman · 05-15-2006, 02:08 AM

Miscellaneous under the bumper points of interest:

330i Exhaust Valve and short right-side chrome exhaust tip.
PDC Sensors
Mystery Module

Fixed!

Best looking E90 ever:

shimshimhada · 05-15-2006, 02:15 AM

KS, I think your car would look 100000x better with no eyelids.

NaTuReBOY's contribution to our fun day!

Thanks for that feedback. I've been going back and forth on that very issue in my mind. Still not sure what to think. The gf doesn't like them either.

Personally...I am not a big fan of them on the E90.

But...if I were you...since you have them on already, I would keep them on for now, and see if they grow on you.

ksfrogman · 05-15-2006, 02:35 AM

Some of the Blackline Clubbers (marcus and NaTuReBOY had already left):

ksfrogman · 05-15-2006, 02:51 AM

Sometimes we're like birds of a feather that flock together, which reminds me of what I saw this morning as I was leaving my office:

mava330 · 05-15-2006, 03:03 AM

AWESOME Michael!!! I mirror all your sentiments about the crew and their various persona's....

Long and Jennifer thanks again for hosting another awesome BBQ. Drinks on me this weekend for u two!

About 2K for parts and paint.

Good point, I never noticed that until you pointed out. I am sure that is very easy to fix and make it level.

Man you guys/gals are awesome with your mods. I guess having LT's experience helped.

Ks, I also agreed with shim and that your car would be nicer if you do not have the eyelids (IMHO). still rocks!
