Sockets E92 build
After 4 years of modding my Aussie based RHD 2008 E92 is almost finished
Thought I'd share a link to my build thread, (over in the Australian forum) for anyone looking for inspiration or advice with their build... https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...80234&page=205 At over 200 pages its a bit of a read, but covers all the mods and more importantly the journey along the way Big call out to the peeps on the Aussie forum in particular Vince (Vtl) that did all of the mechanical work including the ST install, auto to manual conversion and too many things to mention. The man is a genius and true asset to the E9x community Along the way, I have done some detailed DIYs that might help someone out. Custom headlights https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...&highlight=DIY Fixing moving side mirrors https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...&highlight=DIY Replacing steering wheel https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...&highlight=DIY Custom interior (covers removing consoles, door panels etc) https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...&highlight=DIY Finally here is the current mod list and a couple of current pics Leave a note if you have any questions or just need some advice, happy to help if I can Happy reading.....

Yep, plus nothing like the fully illuminated OEM M3 side markers (although they'll require a little electric work).
