Agreed. But for just a few hundred bucks I'll take the chance though. Hopefully my post-mod dyno next week will show some good gains, whether from the exhaust or scoops. Or baby seat.

I don't so much. Looks much bluer on the bmw website in bright light. But it did save me a few hundred bucks over the other leather options, which paid for my arguably useless scoops

Maybe the color will grow on me.

RPi scoops are $99.... why would you say a couple hundred bucks?

Ahh okay

With a filter, you can hope togain a decent couple of horsepower

Look into the MS Stage 2 intake

I have only the filter, but have read good stuff about their full system

EAS can help you out

Yup, stage 2 intake next, then maybe a tune. Oh and I do have the APerformance x-pipe, not just axle back re you earlier comment on hp increases. Need to focus.

Thanks for the advice

Ahh okay. Yeah the axel back with an xpipe will easily get you some 20whp

Wait. What. Infant seats are the latest mod you guys are doing ? Possibly the most expensive mod you can make!

Vancouver_M440 · 01-01-2012, 03:38 AM

I have a similar car in AW. Now I know what those carbon fiber mods will look like on my e90. Pretty sweet. I don't think it's safe to have both the LATCH and seat belt though. Might want to reread your owner's manual for the seat.

Yeh but the performance gains are totally underrated. Get with or go home.

NHTSA says its safe to use both at the same time. I just checked cos u scared me.

BostonRocket · 01-01-2012, 03:44 PM

I was indirectly tieing it with performance mods, haha! The added acceleration from them will cause footprints and indents from the rear facing seat and your kid!

Enough with my expensive and selfish performance mods.

That's why I use Recaro boosters when my kids get old enough. It's the only seat I could find with any significant resistance to side displacement and has great side protection.

zhp2m3 · 01-01-2012, 05:04 PM

I have a recaro seat in mine as well. Question, what seat protector/matt are you using under the car seat?

Merlosso · 01-02-2012, 01:29 PM

Your car looks great. I would love to see some closer shots of the color matched side gills, if you have them. I can't decide if I should color match, do gloss black, or leave stock.
