My 320d had a few "mods" this week

[stiaan]

So, in the beginning of this week, my car looked like this, standard 320d M Sport with its standard factory claimed 120kw, and 330nm of torque

And, 5 days later, cats out, dpf out, and Tuned2race's software being done, they claim +-25-30kw and 90-100nm more, and I got my 18 inch 193's, it feels, and look like a total different car, I feel like a schoolboy with a new toy again.
Im just waiting to have my thin lip M3 bootspoiler sprayed so I can fit on monday

I would love to get my car on a dyno some time, when going to the big city of Cape Town one day:rollsmile:

Coming out of the shop after work, I just couldnt resist standing on the pavement and take this pic

I can clearly feel the difference in power, it feels like the "power curve" just keeps going on for longer, pushing me back in the seat much more and keeping it there for longer, cant wait for the trip up the West Coast next week

Those 193's suit the car so well, especially a black one :blowheart:

So, after waking up at 5am this morning, I started washing, cleaning inside all the little corners.
I just had to take a few pics afterwards

Cleaned the calipers and spraying the calipers and wheel bolts matt black

And a rubber Midas boot mat I cutted to size to fit nicely:rollsmile:

Just waiting for my thin lip bootspoiler to get colour coded, hope I will get it back from spraypainter tomorrow

Lovely subtle mods go a long way to enhancing this car's look. Very well done :clapper:

Well it wasnt me, I know there is a discusion somewhere on here regarding the M badge on a non M car, I asked the previous owner (who is not really a car guy), if he put it there, he told me when he bought it brand new off Forsdicks's floor in 2006, it was there, they must have put it there in the factory, and I thought, well the front door sills, the steering wheel and the gearknob has the ///M, so I might as well leave it on the bootlid as well

There is no chance they put the badge on from factory. That I guarantee you bud.
Car looking great. Like the changes!
Hard to keep a black car looking so great, well done

To have an M badge on a non M car?
So a M320d can be specced?

Ok

Would look less obvious if the badge was the same size as the numbers
