Not sure about tinting the rear lights.
Done it on my e90 and did not like them. It was only light tint and car was black. Reverted it back to standard.
Here's some pics, not the best quality or location... Taken with my phone opposite my latest construction site!

So here's the list so far....

20'' M Sport Wheels - Powder Coated Black
BMW Performance Pack, ECU, Intercooler & Brakes
Black Grille
Black Painted - Side Mirrors
Black Painted - Rear Spoiler
Black Painted - Calipers
Carbon Wrap - Front Bumper Fins
Carbon Wrap - Roof
Carbon Wrap - Rear Diffuser
Black Wrap - Side Indicator Surrounds
Black Wrap - Door Handle Inlays
Rear 'White Lines' Lights
M Sport Body Kit Marking

That's about it, I think...

Only thing I'm thinking of adding is more power!

Car is looking good. I was after those set of wheels but more I studied F10, I started liking 5 spokes alloys.
Still loves your wheels.

I am not sure about White line lights. Never liked them. I have seen similar to those lights in USA thread where somebody has tinted the lower part with black tint film and left the indicators white. That looked nice. But all the lights in white...not sure about it.

Overall brilliant white and black combo.


Are you sure that you get uprated brakes with performance kit? I read somewhere that you only get bigger air ducts which helps to cool down the brakes.



I drove my car hard and happy with sports mode but brakes are weakest link IMHO. Also, steering wheel is not as sharp as it was on E9x. No where near and seems bit artificial.

Cannot complaint as they did brilliant job along with M5 body kit. Bill was bit high but could not complaint after seeing the end result.

Yeah the white lines create quite a bit of conversation, you either love them or hate them... I like them but they look better in the metal than in the pictures imo. But each to their own I guess.

I was told that the brakes were upgraded, but I will agree that I'm not 100% happy with them either. Fine on hard progessive braking but seem a little weak on sudden short range brake input, hope that makes sense!

Have you checked photos of American F10 where he has used tint film on the lower part of rear lights.
I thought it looked really mean.

With performance kit, do you have any idea if its disc and pads or just pads? What size have they used and in future if you have to order, how do you do it?

Hey
Good to hear from you matey. Hope you are enjoying your car. Does Super man means blue car with read leather?

Visited F3x forum and you guys are very active over there compared to here. Read your thread on extended BT and liked it

I may end up in F3x at some point. I think F3x are very much mod friendly compared to F1x.

We'll see. At the moment I am enjoying F1x and exception is steering wheel feel which is now here near E9x. How do you compare steering wheel on F3x compared to E9x?

Thanks for chiming in mate

Here are two quick crappy iphone shots.



May I ask what wheels these are? I really like the look of them on the car. Are they wider rears? I'm looking to replace my 19" 351M's.

Thanks

They are Ispiri ISR6 bought from CM wheels.
They are
20 8.5 front
and
20 10 Rear

They are staggered. Rear gives you nice concavity but front is too plain for me. (used to have concavity at the front and rear in the past).

You can contact Chris from CM wheels here:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/member.php?u=183337

He will beat any prices which you get else where and you get forum discounted prices.


My car seriously need some drop and once it is dropped, these wheels will look much better.

Good luck with hunting new shoes for your car.

Can you advise as to where you got the Quad Exhausts done. They look great !
I have a 535 and may look at getting the Quad exhausts?

Also, approx how much for the quads? Parts/ labour.

Thanks...

Style Dynamic (West side of london, check them on ebay)
or
Fast Lane Styling (East Side of London, and they are on ebay as well)


Since you have 535d, so you can ask them to remove the tips and change them to twin one on both side. That will save you a lot of money and perhaps that can be done for £200-£250. you will have to buy your own diffuser though.


I paid £500 because It was custom exhaust and he added two small boxes to keep the back pressure (as per him). Diffuser was mine though.

Hope it gives you some idea and good luck if you go for it.

Progress:
1- Eibach pro Line fitted
2- Side fenders gloss black led indicators fitted
3- Automatic air conditioning Climate control (it allows passenger to have full control of passenger side including air flow speed)
4- Performance Pedals fitted


I need some spacers or perhaps more aggressive wheels.

Hi Sam,

Nice to see you've got yourself an F10 and started with the quality mods as usual

I run 20's on mine, 8.5 front and 10 rear ET35 all round. The rears sit perfect but I ended up buying some H&R 10mm spacers for the front, they're perfectly flush all round now.

Thanks mate.

I have 8.5J front with ET35 and I think it will take 12-15mm spacers easily.

My rear ones are 10J but ET38. I am going to try 10mm at the rear. And Perhaps some 12-15 mm at the front.

I will take some decent photos when weather get better.

Also, can we have some photos of your car. Looks really good in the signature.
