Congratulations bud the 320i is surprisingly nippy in standard form and I can just imagine how she must pull in performance pack guise . Quite similar to a standard 328i I suspect which is no slouch
Kishore said:So started with some minor customization on the ride with the carbon fibre badges via one of the Forum sponsors, Mo (Auto X-CESSORIZE). Big ups to Mo for the service and asssitance to also take the time to install the badges for me. :clapper::clapper:
Pictures of the ride with the normal badges :

We still awaiting for the steering wheel ones as well as the side markers and M signs for the wheels. I have also removed the M badge from the boot lid and put a Carbon M badge on the grill. Think it looks quite nice on the gloss black grills but still not sure if it should stay or be removed or stolen if parked in a public place:RedNo:

Kishore said:So managed to get myself a set of style M 433 M6 Gran Coupe Reps wides and narrows this past week which I fitted this past weekend. Must say i've got mixed feelings so hope to hear some feedback from you guys both positive and negative if any. I love the stance it has created at the back however from the side view in my view it seem to look smaller than the oem 19. Will contemplate spacers in time if they stay. They are 8.5j and 9.5 j but both have a ET 42 Offset. Any way see pics below for your view and comments :coolShake::coolShake:

Took the opportunity to autosol the M calipers and disks while the wheels were getting changed. Must say it broke me to have to take a full set of wheels and tyres in the back seat and boot and then return home with the new wheels fitted and the oem rims and tyres in the back and front seat and boot. BTW, the OEM 19's are kept away and not for sale.
