If someone from BMW is listening, please make whitelines available for the E92.

Great looking car IMO the only thing that kills it is the ugly stock calipers. If you had some red brembo's in there that thing would look prime! Maybe paint them gloss black in the mean time.

That stance is perfect. From your experience thus far, what are you comments/concerns with the coilovers vs stock suspension on the f10? I'm very curious how it is on a larger, more luxurious car in comparison to the e92. Thanks!

Not a fan of the tail lights but I love this car.
Faces on the wheels need to be reversed... overall great look. |

That is an incredibly beautiful F10. You made great choices. As an architect I care a lot about the aesthetics of the F10. I really like the white lines taillights on this F10. They work well to make the taillights recall the look of the headlights and simplify the overall pure aesthetic. De-badging works well with this look.
It looks like the blinker surrounds near each of the front wheels were changed. How did you do that?

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. Quote:
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.

Whitelines
Do they make them for the E90? Never seen them if they have--might look great though.

Dammit, jaekeem. I'd been convincing myself that I could leave the M-sport alone and it looked great as it is. Now I'm gonnna have to go drop more hard-earned $$$ to mod it up.
Freaking gorgeous car. |

Brembo 405mm GT brake upgrade
I want to thank everyone at European Auto Source for helping me source and install the KW coilovers modules to properly use my Sport modes, and the Brembo 16" (405mm) Gran Tursimo brakes.
After 6 months of ownership and 12,900 miles later, my daily commuter has been serving me well. I also went to my first track event at Chuckwalla Raceway on Saturday, all I have to say is that it was ridiculously fun. The course felt very technical and on the front and back straights I was reaching speeds in excess of 110mph. Unfortunately I didnt have the Brembo's when I went but the stock brakes were more than enough to bring the car down to manageable speeds in the corners. It was also great to be able to drive in Sport+ and with DSC off to maximize the performance benefits of the suspension. Current Mods: Brembo GT 16" (405mm) BBS LM-R 20" KW V3 Coilovers and EDC fix MXP E9x prototype exhaust (catback) JB Stage 1 N55 Macht Schnell Spacers 18mm & 10mm Huper Optik tint OEM Whiteline Taillights DVD in motion - Programming by EAS LED Interior lighting - Joe @ Trinity Autosport Upcoming mods: Aerokit New wheels for my midyear refresh ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
