great example of the E93, hopefully get mine to look something like this soon but CIC will come first

Personally i think you should go for different wheels on the E93. i dont think they suit the car that much.

also, you thought about exhaust mod?

each to there own i would like to say i agree but i dont. love these wheels one of my favourite mods to date be interested to see what kind of ideas you have for yours

yeah CIC is on the card for me but costing over £1,000 need to get the cash together everytime i put money away to do stuff i end up being impatient and doing mods within my price range of money i currently have lol.

The wheels look so much better in the flesh im sure other will support this

I think the wheels look good. The tail lights look great too, did you do them yourself?

The rear lights I purchased from another forum member then just swapped them out myself it's 3 bolts each side pretty easy then just connect them up with the adapter then got somebody close by to code them for £50

I think that looks fantastic Michael, and I personally like the wheels a lot. In my opinion, it needs something to the exhaust - not necessarily 335 conversion, maybe some shiny twin pipes?

Also love the lamps! I need to start my own build thread, have been meaning to for ages but not had time...

Cheers mate appreciate it. I know the rear is crying out for it! Think it will be one of my next mods to be fair. Really needs it to set the other mods off

Looking good. I like the rims but would have liked them in hyper silver to go against the black (but as you say that's what makes us different). Perhaps colour code the diffuser? Pit it's not a 335i as I'm thinking of selling my Eisenmann backbox lol

Michael, I have a question: on the top photo is looks like your front bumper has the number plate plinth, but clearly you have removed it. I've been told it may be attached with bolts - is that the case and you've filled the holes they left in the bumper? Or is it just stuck on? I'd be very interested to know as if it's easily removable, mine needs to come off! Thanks.

My bumper had some damage to it underneath so instead of getting it repaired I got a whole new bumper skin sprayed In the colour of my car for £210 delivered and swapped over the grills and fogs with left the new bumper with no screws holes etc and I then sold my bumper with the damage for £110

Have you got any pictures of your spoiler with the roof down? i looked into them but wasnt sure if it would look ... "right" with the roof down.

Get that down on some H&Rs or Coilovers would finish it off nicely!

Pretty sure I saw this car on the M1 today...looks great in the flesh!

Saw you coming up in my rear view mirror - those pictures don't do the front lights justice.

Although personally, not a massive fan of the spoiler. Apart from that I think you've achieved exactly what I'd want my car to look like!
