BMW Sapphire Black '06 330i E90 Manual Sports pack

[yaseent381]

Hi guys thought I should start a build thread and not post in my newbie thread anymore since I've made some changes already lol :rollsmile:

Standard at the moment but mods to follow... This is my wishlist in no particular order:

The 4 door e92 front bumper
Angel eye headlights
Xenons
18" Vossen cv3 wheels (MAYBE A 19") not sure yet
Slight drop
Clear tail lights or black lines (will decide when the time comes)
"Duck bill" Boot fin think that's what it's called not sure lol(not the slim type, the thicker 1)
That's basicly it for the looks I think

Engine:
Cold air induction
Decat for time being
Full mandrel bent exhaust system (will probably be 1 of the last things I do because it's vrek expensive lol)
Software/Chip
shorter ratio diff
Cams
And that's basicly it for the engine mods aswell.

So it begins...

Had the kidneys wrapped in satin black
HID Xenon Canbus kit fitted
Work done by Zeetech Customs
Was supposed to have angels fitted but told me he couldn't do it because the rings would overlap so now I have to get angel eye headlights. If anyone knows of a set let me know please. Thanks

Pics...

Having trouble uploading pictures, have no idea but they don't want to upload and I just uploaded pictures 5 mins ago :smashScreen:

Congrats dude, this car is off the chain. Like the wheels.
Impressive wish list u have. This car must already be an animal at the coast.

power wise, I would stick just stick with exhaust, decat, and chip. CAI is also good but i opted against it due to we have such freak flash floods in Jhb that sucking in water, hydro lock is a big possibility.
Personally I wouldn't do cams, and alter the smoothness and driveablity.
The diff is key for me. It does not give you any more power or torque. It simply distributes your existing torque at a higher percentage to your rear wheels, thus making pull power so much stronger.
:coolShake:

Thanks buddy! Ya the cams will be the last thing I do and online if I really am bored with the power, and the full exhaust because it going to cost an arm and a leg lol so will just be decat and cai and software, although I have been looking at replacing my backbox aswell because I need new tail pieces also, found a stainless steel box at Chinatown for R600 brand new will post a pic of it if this thing isn't full of crap again lol

Two things worthwhile remembering.

1.It is your car and you can do with it as you please.
2.Never modify the exhaust and intake on a BMW or it WILL become slower.

Good luck with your mods.

Looks hot! Almost seems like racecar mods opening the motor up and all schweet :coolShake:

These 330i's are deceptively quick at the coast... awesome

Lol thanks buddy, that 335i of yours though raise: ya it's quite quick, i haven't had a chance to test it out with anything yet though, only my bro's E39 528i, from the line but not launching then I open from 1st gear already, by 3rd then I'm a few cars in front of him already and still opening, and his got exhaust and a shorter ratio diff (3.46 I think not sure) but his car isn't 100% I think though, anyways won't still get into that but I'm quite happy with the car's performance, looking to decat and do induction soon God willing the car is too soft, but I have no idea where to go to have an induction made because the airflow meter sits on the box And I would like to remove it, any ideas?

Congrats bud on an awesome car looks great. Maybe don't go with an induction kit maybe try it but from experience OEM works better. Decat though that you should do. all the best :coolShake:

Thanks buddy, the cars too soft man I need to hear that engine/filter screaming sound lol because the other night I was chasing an S2k and I went into cutout in 3rd gear for a while because I couldn't hear my car lol so I need some engine noise, also where can I buy a filter for my car?

depends what filter you looking for go with a flat K&N if not OEM which you can pick up at most car accessory stores like autostyle, maxmotorsport etc. if you going the whole induction route that aint gonna make your car sound loud. its just gonna make your throttle response slower and fuel consumption higher. Rather Decat, change the manifold and exhaust.

My car doesn't take a flat filter, it takes a round filter will try and get a pic quick

This is the oem filter

So do I have to spend a fortune to get the blocked/partially blocked OE cats on my 320i replaced instead of getting an aftermarket free flow exhaust and de-cat done? :thinking:
