Michael. 2313 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 Good looking car. It's a great colour too. Constructive criticisms; Rear wheel height too low, I'd bring it up slightly, consider if the car has stuff in the back or passengers its going to bottom out at that height. Rear window spoiler.. too much detailing, you've already got that rear wing so I'd loose it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just calculated a little too low to begin with. Sitting about 8mm higher now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2425 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 looks great, love the combo of the color, wheels, wing and height. I agree with Michael on the points about height and window spoiler. Its a shame the US ones didnt get the good engine. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a shame the US ones didnt get the good engine. Cheers. Yep the US spec has the least power, but a great base for modification. Basically an M50 with a larger displacement and bigger cams - hence why they make the lowest power. It also means you can do more to wake them up! Even simple mods like air intake, cams, headers, injectors, ecu remap takes it to over 300hp relatively easily and doesn't cost the earth either. Headers and a carbon fibre air box have already been done. My E30 325i vert came to life after adding a 288 Schrick Cam, Schrick Valve springs, Headers, ECU remap etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitting about 8mm higher now. Haha, good call, I was gonna say 10mm would be enough For Mike to like a car: Return to stock form. ? EDIT: Where on earth did you get the wing extension?

Hardly an advocate for stock form Edited January 21, 2016 by Michael. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cab 148 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 Where on earth did you get the wing extension? I want one senpai pls Flipped EZ Lip. Best $50 you'll spend! Obviously its purely aesthetic but it looks really good and so easy to do. I looked pretty far and wide for an actual gurney flap and they're so hard to source.

M3AN 4016 Report post Posted January 23, 2016 I'm not sure it matters at normal speeds but keep in mind that BMW insist that the appropriate front splitter is installed when using such a rear wing. Take that for what you will. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff E36 37 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Ooooooooo love your direction with the styling bro! Didn't think a flipped EZ lip could look that good either Where did you get your tyre graphics done? How're you finding the durability on driving + weather conditions?

Cab 148 Report post Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks. Stencils and tyre paint. It drys quite hard so you can chip it if you're not careful. If you don't daily your car it stays fine. I'm thinking about taking it off, not sure if I like it 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beeker2 69 Report post Posted January 30, 2016 what product did you use for the guney flap? Any chance of some close ups? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cab 148 Report post Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) what product did you use for the guney flap? Any chance of some close ups? Its an EZ lip flipped upside down. Purely for cosmetic purposes - couldn't seem to find an off the shelf one anywhere except a place in Australia that don't reply to emails. I was going through my profile and deleting some of my "gallery", not knowing it would delete photos off my threads so all photos have vanished! I will add close up's tonight. It looks the part, serves no purpose (functionally) what so ever though. Edited February 11, 2016 by Cab Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
