looking good, all you need is the 1M mirrors !!!
Thanks guys. Tried the 1m mirrors, couldn't get it to fit unless we made up a custom base plate.
This 120d just continues to impress with the way it goes through daily commuting and the occasional spirited driving on the weekends. It's almost since ownership, and once all the maintaince items were carried, she hasn't skipped a beat, Shukr.
Karsh pointed me in the direction of a KNN induction kit for sale. The install was pretty simple, but I just need to replace the flexi hose from the air ducts to the filter itself.
Love the sounds, very audible from idle to 2000rpm and once boost kicks in, it turns into a whistle when WOT.
Fitted a set of used performance mats I picked up from a member in CT.

Lots of updates to get to here as well. Will start shortly. Using this lockdown period to attend to the 120d as well and so far it's going well.

Looking forward to updates !
So in November 2018 I had the unfortunate incident where a truck in front of me had a blow out and a chunk of his hit the 120d resulting in the performance bumper being damaged.
A new performance bumper could not be sourced and the 1m bumper was fitted as part of the insurance claim. Its looked good, but I just loved the performance bumper way too much and requested that the damaged bumper be returned to me.
In June 2019 I started making plans to get the bumper plastic welded and repairs since seeing BMW stopped production of it and there was no stock in Germany either. Mo from CrazyRidez got the bumper repaired with his partnered Panelbeater and sprayed and fitted along with a set of OEM Carbon fiber splitters. Needless to say I was happy once again.
Pics of the Bumper refitted. Managed to grab these at my brother in laws garage. (Awesome Garage might I add)

I managed to finally get a strut bar for the engine bay. It came as part of package from e82 that was being stripped. I sold off the balance of the items gave the strut bar a nice cleanup before installing.
Glad to report it's the bmw oem strut for an e92, and the reason why I love this particular one, is that if theres any work that needs to he carried out on the engine bay, you dont have to remove the entire strut as it's a 3pc unit.
Some pictures as well left and right comparisons of the cleanup. Gave a quick polish to freshen it up using my ibrid nano.
