Mods planned anyone?

phantome46 · 08-19-2008, 02:30 PM

Anyone planning to mod the E92 or E93 in the UK?

There seems to be a lot of this happening over the pond in th USA but not much here?

Yahoo · 08-19-2008, 03:15 PM

Yes - I have already had an SSTT and BMC drop in filter combo on my 335i. I sold the SSTT after 3 months and will be upgrading to JB3, RPI scoops and AFE dual cone filters ASAP.

My previous set up was good for 350 ish bhp, the new setup should be good for 410 ish. I will keep posted once the JB3 is back in stock and I can place my order.

I hope you're joking Carlos... SerJames ring a bell?

dxb335d · 08-19-2008, 05:06 PM

Oh right? his car ''looks'' stock to me last time i saw it.

mjh93sa · 08-19-2008, 05:06 PM

Might look stock... but it's certainly modded.

dxb335d · 08-19-2008, 05:07 PM

yeah i know, think Pantom means cars cosmetically modded though.

CrimsonRedE93 · 08-20-2008, 07:19 AM

My paintwork gets modified every week, It never looks the same

SoYank · 08-20-2008, 02:44 PM

I had some AW do a couple of mods to mine. If I'd found him I'd have paid him quite handsomely.

JoeyFiasco · 08-23-2008, 09:40 AM

how are UK dealerships with mods? are they really finicky? some places are fine with you changing your exhaust, others not so much..

the dealer i got mine from knows about my mods. Last time i went there was quite a gathering of sales guys round it having a good look

and the salesman i dealt with wants a spin out in it

... when it comes to warranty issues, well who knows ... but im sure it would be fine, as they were very good with my last 1 series when i brought it in for warranty work, and they knew about the remap, springs and exhaust mods

i dont have any complaints about my dealer ... except the shocking price of a mirror glass

... but that of course is set by BMW UK.
