I haven't done much with the car lately & am struggling to find things to do next
While I had some time with no child & gf I decided to tackle the calipers as they were black & you couldn't really see them, I think it was Jase's thread on his new E92 that gave me the idea, while the wheels were off I gave them a deep clean including the backs Also got some F30 tips from the other side of the Forum, I like these as they are straight cut & rolled tips, they are the 320d / 335d ones so larger than then 330d / 325d The exhaust could do with coming out a little, Looking for suggestions on what to do next as run out of ideas, toying with selling up & getting something new to play with |

Was just thinking about doing this to my rear discs too as they're looking a little tacky despite being less than one year old! Is the f30 exhaust a direct fit or is cutting/welding required?
Surprised I haven't seen this car around, I live near Bishop Auckland and pass through the Durham area to work. |

Its E90 330d back box with F30 335 tips on, was a straight fit apparently
Im looking at new disc's as even after painting they still don't look great, they are only done 2000 miles |

Nice work, your mods are quite similar to mine and the car is looking sweet. I didn't get round to lowering though and I was on the hunt for 313's or 403's.
I have a genuine carbon fibre rear performance diffuser (they are £700 from BMW). I think it would look sweet with the white body. You could potentially go down that route, I was going to fit to mine but the cars up for sale and I might try the Audi bug, possibly an A5 3.0 tdi Quattro so I may end up selling it. |

Wow that's impressive. I have the same problem but I have more important things to worry about. Like the fact the car is black and need to keep it clean all the time. I don't have any spare time to do your job. Why why did I buy another black car!!!

So tackled another little issue that had been bugging me, my passenger door card had a odd line of wear across the top, not sure where it has come from & you can't really see it but it bugged me
So anyway ordered a new one & have fitted, not a big job but helps ease my OCD Last edited by JM85; 12-17-2015 at 02:07 PM.. |

The back box change is one of my favorite mods, going to get it booked in this week to have it adjusted slightly as the tail pipes should be poking out a little more imo

Service light has been counting down on the car showing it needs rear beakes but I have made previous threads about having had new disc's & pads recently that rusted so I guessed the light hadn't been reset properly so booked it in with BMW to be sure & maybe get a oil change
Was told by the service desk it was due a service (1,200 miles ish) so agreed to that, unfortunately for me it was due the expensive one..... But on the bright side the car has full BMW service history by the same garage from new, hopefully this will been seen as a benifit to a potential buyer |

This should divide opinion, scanning the other side of the forum & found this, now I am the first to slate people for sticking M badges on their car but this I think I like

Need that tailpipe badly on my bus.
I also hate the big 'M' Badges that people put on but the one you've pictured above looks quite subtle actually! |
