I would suggest summer running of the air-scoop, and OEM for winter. Im sure thats why they are designed the way they are. Less chance of road material and FOD getting in there.

I had much more salt in the box and that was without the scoops! I think I didn't get a good image of that but I would say there was handful of salt which I thought was a lot.

I think I will prepare the car a bit further for the next winter and regular airbox clean will be one of them. Of course, scoops will come off.

Thanks mate, Im slowly getting there! Well, CIC is an expensive mod but changes the car. I love how the system works and its the whole world for me. Side lights are only temporary.

Also, I have now sold my old 216 Motorsport alloys and bought a set of 19" F10 M5 styled alloys with new tyres from ********. Photos as soon as they arrive and land on the car.

Stay tuned.

I'm so jealous bud

Motor will look like this 😍

[dy63]

you sure are shelling out quite alot on this car. i dont think ive seen someone do this much to a 320d.

[Kali]

One side done.


Fitted!




Also swapped out the cabin filter.


And a new air filter as I don't like the Pipercross.


Old Pipercross: (Up for sale if anyone needs? Fully functional)


K&N is much higher quality and produces slightly better intake noise.


Pipercross vs K&N


Nice instagram shot.


Car needs a good clean so will get some proper good shots with a camera once I wash the car! Hopefully tomorrow!

[Jimmy-F46 M-sport]

That looks fantastic bud 👍 wheels really suit the car

[holmefield]

I have the same alloys on mine, I've got pics up on the UK bit, get them spaced out thou you can go quite aggressive with the final E.T's..

What tyre sizes are you using

What size and where can I buy BMW badges from mate? Also I don't want to space out too much. Was thinking 5mm all round or just 5mm on the back but not sure if that would't reduce the ride quality.

Thanks!

Thanks. Got them from ******** and its:
19x8.5 ET35 Front.
19x9.5 ET33 Rear

Tyres are: 235/35 front, 265/30 rear.

[Calluhan]

absolutely love the wheels mate. The car is really shaping up to be something special. Are you planning on keeping it for a while?

[holmefield]

Makkan00 have a look @ mine in the uk bit mine are similar to KALI set up bit mine are 19 x 9 front 19 x 10 rear my final E.T's are 23 front 18 rear..

With yours been the F10 and with having M5 front arches your going to need wide alloys and spacers front and rear...

Its strange your badges dont fit Kali, mine are just the standard 68mm bmw badges ( all be it black carbon versions )

Im running 12mm spacers up front 20mm out back...with 235/35 falken fronts and 255/ 35 Vredestein rears...

68mm badges should fit fine....

[holmefield]

With no change in ride quality. ...

Liking the updates. Wheels look really good.

I'm still not struck on the exhaust tips sticking out as much as they do but that's just a personal opinion.

It's come on a long way.

[Kali]

Thanks for all the comments. I'm planning to tint the rear windows to finish of the look. Any ideas how dark I should go ?

Some more photos:

Thanks mate. Planning to keep the car for few good years, until I get better insurance on bigger engines.

I wasn't really sure with the exhaust as well, I might sort it out still, although that's how it is at the moment. Thanks thou.


More updates soon!

[Sparky68]

Wheels look great but the whole look is ruined by the exhaust in my opinion

[bigbootysuperduty]

Very nice. Good work.
