Im refitting the front lip tomorrow cause im not happy with the fit from my install. Waiting to get my 3M VHB tape and then will install. Also my BMW Performance Carbon Mirrors have arrived so will fit those tomorrow aswell. And better pictures to follow are wash and quick polish on saturday morning.

VERY NICE MAN !!! Whats the difference in power, I have N54 I might have to trade it in?

Tell you with a set of semi slicks on there awesome on track!!

where did you get your mags done black?




Well dude the power i think is probably very similar but.. i think the way it is delivered feels completely different, my car has that turbo feel with the slow increase then surge of the turbo (which in the n54 is more linear and civilized).

Im still looking for semi slicks but no one i've tried has size's?? its weird... but still looking.

I got my mags powder coated by Wheel Collision Centre , i highly recommend them, good prices and quality work with quick turn around time 24-48hrs.




A lot of people have told me that powder coating adds a lot of weight, is this true? Did you notice any difference?

Ive also heard that george but honestly if that is so it doesnt make a difference i didnt notice anything and the company that did mine said its almost the same as spraying expect it is way more durable that getting your rims sprayed. as its baked on the chip less than a normal spray..

good day Stealth135i
Your car is awesome.
I got mine last week, could you let me know who you get your parts from.
I am looking to get the Preformance Kit (400nm to 520nm)

Ordered some new parts that will be here in a couple of weeks:

aFe stage 2 intake:
54-11912B1600_400.jpg


Mainly for the sound not expecting any gains really

Procede n55 Tuner version:

which should produce pretty good gains :) will need to do a couple of dyno's to see how it will compare to the local tunes sp far....
