Good day everyone,
As some of you know, I got my e90 320i the other day (upgrading from a Getz!) ... And alot of the forum members have been very polite and helpful with any questions asked/ suggestions given.
So I want to thank all the Gents for their hospitality! @BillyBob... Glad you got your new baby aswell! And I think Hellfire_za is on here aswell? .. On Tapatalk atm.
But I just wanted to know by the veterans, their opinions on my 320i and mods I want to do.
Firstly, at my age, I don't want a pocket rocket 335, etc... As the insurance alone would kill me.
But I do love the ride, comfort and bit of performance the 320i has.
Now, I'm thinking of doing the following :
M3 body Kit from Carbon Accessories.
- Need spray painters. (lol will cost less to get the full aftermarket body kit than it will be to get the stock front and rear bumpers
Carbon Fibre slim line boot spoiler - From Xcerise?
Put a decent full new exhaust + branches from Tunetech(Viper brand - includes induction pipe) Or Powerflow (If they'd just get back to me!!)
Decat ^ from the above mod
Black and white Rondelle badges (carbon look)
Osram Night runners
And then the following I'm unsure of what direction to go:
1. Upgrade the stock sound system speakers.
- I'm not sure where to look for the proper sound replacement kit (center console piece, subs) and whether the vehicle has the wiring already there to be plug and played.
2. I would LOVE to put the BMW M4 17/18" replica rims on. BUT I don't know how the quality is/finish and the load/impact weight are with pot holes.
If the above is all good...next I want to get away from Runflats and put the Falken tyres on + get an Original bmw mobility and spare tyre kit. The only thing that bothers me is the Insurance company with regards to having aftermarket rims and non runflats?
If any of you bmw die hards could help me in my quest, then I would be extremely grateful
