Yes James is on a totally different level I don't want to be near. He no longer has that mini too he's back to the raw e46 m3 at the moment and who knows what is in store for that car!

That's correct we rolled up together from the attic, our intern was with us in the black 335is. His car is now on dbk lm's we've rubbed off some of our modding bug onto him recently

To be honest the kw v3 is one of the best mods I've done to the car at the moment. The suspension feels tighter yet has a very daily driveable feel. With the m sport package I had 4 suspension settings to choose from. Even at the sport + setting it was definitely sportier but felt great. But admit I had slight concerns with installing the kw v3 until I first drive out of the shop with them. Joe at trinity autosport set them at the recommended Out of the box specs and I love it.

I always drove my car in the sport+ setting and the kws are slightly firmer than that but completely streetable. As for the e92 I can't say as I've only driven stock m3s and rd sport lowered e90s. But those were around the suspension feeling I haven my car now.

I'll be tracking my car in September for industry track day so I can give a better review then after I see how they feel when the car is really pushed.

It looks like the blinker surrounds near each of the front wheels were changed. How did you do that?
Thank you for the compliment, I feel the same way about the f10 as you do. There were a couple parts about the car that felt like they took away from the lines of this model. Aesthetically the stock chrome grilles were distracting and looked as though they distracted from the hood and front bumper. Same with the rear taillights and the gobs of red.

As for the the blinker surrounds I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you referring to the orange reflectors? I had my window tinting shop wrap it in gloss black vinyl, and ended up matching close to the jet black paint job.
