The rear box's are being removed this weekend and delivered to another member on Sunday, also picking up a set of electric fold wing mirrors from just around the corner so win win.... Now I am just waiting for the quad defuser to arrive.

Absolutely beautiful mate. Congrats on the purchase.

please let me know

Well, I met up with 335i6mt (Hibat) on Sunday and a deal was done with the exhaust rear box's, a Very nice fella and could talk BMW all day.


The 335 is being dropped off at DCM Tyres n Exhaust tonight for the replacement rear box's and quad tips to be fitted, I forgot I had purchased a e93 rear quad defuser last year that I was going to butcher and get moulded in to the GT rear defuser but that never happened. Its a cheep fiberglass item so it's on only as a guide so they know where to put the tips and it being replaced with a nice one that will be painted before it's fitted. Mirrors will be fitted on Saturday and also coded. May look at getting the car mapped as well.

[BMW Steve]

I had some picks from DCM Tyres / Exhaust ref the quad tips, I should be picking up the car tomorrow evening, the defuser is not staying as its just a cheep fiberglass item, the new defuser should be hear in 2 weeks.

[Dann]

Those tips are nice.
What size are they?

[RajB]

Spot on. Quads will look really good.

[BMW Steve]

Well, bit of an update.

I purchased a set of electric fold wing mirrors, they are being fitted Thursday evening and hopefully I can code them to the car.

So far then

Rear back box's replaced and Quad tips fitted, quad defuser, this was a cheep fiberglass item that I have sprayed gloss black and it will be getting replaced with a carbon defuser,

Alloy Wheels, 19" Quantum44 TS1,s are now on the car, speck on the wheels is, 9.5j and 10.5 with a et30 both front and rear and 245/35 & 265/30 NS2 Sport tyres, great fitment and no rubbing, Gloss Black kidney grills from BMW, Roof Module fitted, I have a pair of M3 side skirts that are being painted hopefully tomorrow so I can fit them on Sunday.

[BMW Steve]

Had a very bizzy Sunday yesterday, purchased a set of air scoops to help with the forced air induction and fitted them.

Then I gave the undercarriage a good clean and re-furbbed the break callipers.

Arrived today, BMW ANGEL EYES H8 LIGHTS

Replacing the original h8 angel ring bulbs with some thing a bit brighter, Job for this weekend..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2809858098...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I will put up before and after picks when its done...

[BMW Steve]

Over the weekend I finally fitted the M3 side skirts and the electric fold mirror caps after picking every thing up from the paint shop, the skirts were a direct fitment although I had to slightly re-arrange 2 of the holes. The wing mirror covers went straight on.

I went to fit the angel eye bulbs but gave up, I couldn't get my hand in there to remove the bulb, Bumper off and head light out it is then.

Loving the car, Can I ask where you got the m3 Sideskirts? Are they genuine or replicas?

The skirts are replica's, Got them from hear, they are a perfect fit apart from the last 2 holes at the back end, but with a little drilling that was soon remedied, I also advise purchasing some new clips from BMW rather then use the clips that come with the skirts.

It's the little things,

After fitting the new wing mirrors and getting them to work on the button I decided to have another play last night and see if I could get them to fold on the key, a little bit of searching on the Carly App and hay presto

There is a video but I cant load it for some reason but if you have that option on your key's then you know how much pleasure it gives me to fold the mirrors on the key,,,

Hi Rick, it gave me the option to fold when locking the car, clicked yes and Bingo.

I keep the Carly adapter with in the car now due to being asked to do stuff, especially at work.

Some excellent updates. Liking how it's coming together and the quad looks spot on for sure.

How have you fitted 10.5j rears with et30 and no rubbing as I'm running 9.5j et30 and get a tiny amount on big dips...

I would say, its the tyre size. But not sure, when I purchased the wheels I was told by Mark at BM Autosport that I should run 235/35 & 255/30 due to the aggressive offset on the wheels, but decided on 245/35 & 265/30 and they went on with no issues, I am lowering the car at the weekend, only very slightly so lets see how that pan's out

I'm on Ohlins R&T's but am not running much camber tbf. I might roll the arches though.

[BMW Steve]

I should be saying, What's in the box but as I don't have any photo's yet,

Arrived this morning are a full set of LCI rear lights from a 2012 e93, just ordered the fitting kit from Cotswold BMW so I should have every thing fitted on Saturday.

They'll make a huge difference to the rear so nice one.

[BMW Steve]

I Just had to,,,,,

I need to remove the stupid stickers that the breaker left on them, tried pulling them off but its not that simple.

[Lockman_321]

Loving the updates so far mate!

You will notice a huge difference when you add the LCI lights
