My Stormtrooper F30

Yeah, I know the Stormtrooper theme is a bit overdone, but anyway...

Here's my ride: F30 330d M Sport

Mods done so far:
M performance upgrades: Side skirts and blades, Front splitter
Gloss black kidney grills
M4 style rear spoiler in gloss black
LaminX smoke tint on rear lights (which I need to redo properly again)
Blue pinstripe vinyl at the bottom of blades/splitter
OEM M shadow 19" wheels with Bridestone Potenza Runflats
H&R Spacers: 10mm front and 13mm rear
Custom blue contrast stitching

Planned mods:
335i/340 M performance diffuser with dual exhaust. I like the symmetry of the dual exhaust as opposed to the single sided double. A few months of MP left though, so need to wait in any case...
Still need to decide on decent exhaust tips as well.

No performance mods planned. Maybe just a DPF removal at some point.

Nice. Reminds me of the blue stitching I have. Mines only on the seats though. This looks really good. :thumbs:

Reminds me of the M2 stitching...how did you go about getting this done?

Here's the process I used for the stitching except that I purchased blue upholstery cotton instead: DIY stitching process

Did a few sections every other evening over the course of about a month.

Nice. Let's see some pics of the rear diffuser.

Still has the stock diffuser, not even M performance. Will only replace the diffuser when I am doing the dual exhaust in a couple of months.

Finally got the exhaust done. Decided to go with TMSS for a downpipe and full exhaust with dual outlets. Got lots of positive referrals for TMSS and can definitely say that the workmanship is nothing short of phenomenal.

New setup sounds quite a bit deeper and louder than stock when flooring the car, but at normal cruising speed, only slightly louder. I really love the deep tone it has - a bit difficult to capture on a phone... It's funny how a simple exhaust change gives the car a new personality. It feels like it adds a sense of occasion to the car when you floor it - that familiar diesel punch now has some bark to go with it.

TMSS built a custom downpipe, 90mm slant tips and there is a single centre box in the middle. Finished off with the 335i/340i M performance diffuser.
