Thanks for all the compliments and kind words
Thread update with a mod friday.
Personally the yellow angel make the BMWs look dated.
So first Mod was to replace them with a set of 80 w CREE from Mo
I did the wifes X5 a few weeks back and that was a serious ball ache.
135 took me all of 10 minutes.
I did notice that i need to re align the bumper which i will do this weekend.
Will take a few pics tonight to show the change
Happy with the subtle change

Got to spend some time on the car this weekend.
Took the car through to bmw for there oil service special as i always do fluid changes on all my cars i buy even if its been done on plan etc.More for my own piece of mind.
Picked up some Toyo Proxes which i fitted ..had some rain driving and cold start and tyres felt good..once warm they really grip nicely and minimal road noise..
Had alignment sorted and just have the undercarriage a good check.
Looks like i need lower control arm bushes which ill source and replace.
Shout out to Dannyboy...met up with him to get the black line grilles which just look so much better as im not a fan of chrome.
The rear lights looked a bit tired so i just used some Laminex to freshen them up.
A few interior panels were loose so i bought some clips and refitted them.
Waiting on my msport boot spoiler i should have this week and the car will be going to ZF for an oil change and gearbox check..hopefully its all in order.
Couple pics to show the progress

Congrats on the new car bro. May she grant many safe, happy and trouble free kilos.
The interior is to die for [SMILING FACE WITH HEART-SHAPED EYES]....
The cosmetic changes already look good and if the 330d was anything to go by, this will definitely be an e82 to keep our eyes on....

Thread update
Ordered a few things..
Lower control arm bushes
Dci intake
Upgraded Pcv valve
Lower cooler thermo
Axis supplied some lower control arm bushes that were worn.
Set to fitting them over the weekend..
Have a press at work so about 2 hours later had both sides done..had to remove a few covers but overall not such a hard job..front end feels allot better now
Firi had a set of Dci from his old setup which I bought and fitted ...
Car has a nice intake sound and I bypassed the recirc valves as per the 2$ mod
As it's an auto takes a bit of work to get the car to dump nicely but sounds decent..
Couple mates went passed KAR Dyno so I dropped in for a stock pull.
Car has the Dci fitted other than that dead stock.
Cats all in place and no octane .
Was very happy with stock figures
201 wkw and 431nm.....
until a mate put his 135 on with an excede file and made 280 wkw and 632nm
So guess I need some modding..
When other parts arrive I will update the thread.

Few parts have arrived.
Got to fitting a Custom performance Engineering Charge pipe with an HKS BOV.
Mate brought it up from Durbs.
Pretty simple to follow a google video on removal and fitment.
Car sounds Epic...Will load a link to a video.
Hard to get the auto to dump nicely but if i load the car in 1 gear higher i can get it to Blow off...The sound is addictive:tiptoe::tiptoe::tiptoe:
