Quite simply stunning!

The perfect combination of subtle styling and a nice powerful engine - I love it!

Thumbs up, what's the offset of the wheels and what lowering kits?

that is awesome, love how clean and un-cluttered the engine bay is. wheels really suit it too, I just reckon it needs the front valance and iS splitter painting and it'll be hunky dory. Are those 16" RS'?

What are the E90 hats for?

They lower the car a little bit compared to stock ones. Like drop hats but way cheaper.

That looks lovely mate.

I love the camber on the rear wheels. Stance is perfect.

Absolutely fantastic, one of my favorites ive ever seen. Incidently, I will be swapping an m50b25 to an mtech 318is (same exact car it looks like, minus mine is metallic black)

any tips for me? i havent started yet, but would like to have everything done within the next few months.

Hey thanks again guys. I had a little accident a couple weeks ago. Here's the result.

Image

It sucks but in a positive note it will now have euro smilies, HID, euro grills and euro mouldings. I also paid an extra to have the valence repainted correctly. I'm currently waiting for a brand new OEM hood coming from BMW Germany (paid by my insurrance, woot).

Stay tuned for a little photoshoot when it'll be repaired.
