What u2u?

Did people say pics?
















If you buy an E90 3 series, CSL wheels will no fit with standard suspension, the backs are fine (which is odd, considering their width) but the fronts catch on the spring seats so you NEED coilovers (or 20m spacers)

The fronts are wound all the way UP! the rears need setting up properly, one side is about a 1cm higher than the other as it was 11pm and setting heights was getting boring. The back will come down a tiny bit too.

I'm happy, no rubbing, no chafing, no catching at all, amazing.

Fronts need a slight spacer IMO, but looks amazing

They do, about 10mm or so. I'm a little concerned by the fact that there's less than 5mm between the tyre and the strut

Car was just under 12k on the forcourt (on finance though, so it'll work out more)

Wheels were £1700
Suspension was £998.75
Lights were £150 ish, can't actually remember
Remap was £350

Fitting has cost me nothing but some skin on my hands and the use of the muscles in my thighs. I can hardly walk and I did it 2 days ago, walking down stairs is agony crouching for 8 hours isn't good.

Performance wise, I don't know about 0-60, but I'd say about 7.5 seconds, should be identical to an E90 Alpina D3 (the original, not the biturbo), and it'll do 150 (theoretically). in gear speeds on the motorway it's amazing.

Looks very nice that, not a big fan of them standard, but now it looks amazing.

All it needs now IMO is a subtle exhaust and a blacked out grill, not a fan of chrome grills.

Grille is sorted, just ordered a pair

Exhaust, there's something in the pipeline (excuse the pun) there when I've got the cash.

blimey, that looks really good, a bit of spacing on the fronts and it'll be perfect!
