/// M3

Barron · Jul 27, 2014

Covered a few miles in this now and absolutely love it. It will be going for a few laps around the Nurburgring next month to really stretch its legs.

Fitting LCI LED Rear Lights and LCI Chrome/Black grills once they arrive tomorrow. Also looking to buy some 359M Competition Wheels for it.

Lovely car mate. Wheels will finish it off perfectly! Very very jealous

chris_p · Jul 27, 2014

Ever the all rounder, the M3.
Love it! I'll definitely be buying one of these at some point, the engine is history in the making. People will look back on the e90 M3 as a hero.

My mate has the special edition one in frozen blue/gloss black wheels, looks nice but I'd actually rather a grey one like yours!

Lovely! One of best engines BMW made!

Comp pack wheels are awesome!

if you haven't done so already, OEM Exhaust mod is a must!

you've had yours done? I'm really worried that it'll be loud/boy racer style.

I'm interested in the 2 pipe mod.

Yep. Best thing I did, and I use my car for business/ as a daily.

It is loud from outside and very loud on cold start. But silent in side.

Got a few videos, if you want to see. Won't post on here though.

As per std. Not any louder! Which is why I love it! It absolutely screams to 8k rpm.

SharkyUK · Jul 27, 2014

That's lovely mate - fair play

C.J · Jul 28, 2014

Lovely.

leedsboy · Jul 28, 2014

Very nice, best colour too!

Rob · Jul 28, 2014

Magic. Cracking colour too.

Advikaz · Jul 28, 2014

Looks smart.

Matt W · Jul 28, 2014

Oh yes. All the car you could ever need.

Scutch · Jul 28, 2014

Very nice that mate. Lovely colour too

Daz. · Jul 28, 2014

f**k yeeeeeah! That's nice

Alan · Jul 28, 2014

Very nice, perfect with the black leather too.

Barron · Jul 28, 2014

LCI LED lights are now fitted and coded.

rsRob · Jul 28, 2014

One word - awesome

Xanda73 · Jul 28, 2014

That looks mint fella, really nice, especially with the new lights.

Interior looks well too - not usually a fan of BMW interiors.

Ian_182 · Jul 29, 2014

Those lights look fantastic.

leedsboy · Jul 29, 2014

Them lights, I want :hail:

George@RTR_Parts · Jul 29, 2014

Looks superb, rear led lights are a nice addition

clio007 · Jul 29, 2014

How much did you pay for the LCI lights if you dont mind me asking?

Craig · Jul 29, 2014

Looks amazing mate. Them lights are cool

They are £600 from BMW or around £425-450 second hand.

You buy a plug and play harness from BMW so they take 15 mins to fit.

They will work perfectly legal once fitted but you need them coding to remove the bulb check and to slow down the indicator speed.

Barron · Jul 29, 2014

Fitted the Chrome/Black Grills

I'm not 100% but what do you lot think?

RDH · Jul 29, 2014

I think the grills looked better before imho.

cat171 · Jul 29, 2014

I like the rear lights etc, but tbh I can't overly see the difference of the grilles, must be this screen.

Barron · Jul 29, 2014

Before

After

cat171 · Jul 29, 2014

Ah yeah lol. I like it how it looks now

chris_p · Jul 29, 2014

I prefer all black or all chrome on that colour.

MarkCup · Jul 29, 2014

Six of one, half a dozen of another.

JackD · Jul 29, 2014

All black would look best IMO, but out of the two I prefer it now

mini_nick · Jul 29, 2014

I like it how it is now, looks oem, if it was all black might look a bit over the top?

Agreed, I'm not a fan of the all black grills as they look modified rather than oem.

mini_nick · Jul 29, 2014

Yeah my thoughts, car looks awesome!

Detail Chris · Jul 30, 2014

Would freaking love one of these but the running costs are eye watering for anything other than a weekend bit of fun. Makes me sad

jamier27 · Jul 30, 2014

So wish they did a touring version.

Very nice. Was there many things changed/improved from the early 08 cars to the later cars?
