2008 BMW M3  [0.00]
From E90 to E90M

Hello Everyone,

Sold my beloved E90 330xi end of last year after 9 years and 240000km of ownership. Picked up a IB 08 E90M shortly after, really loving it.
Keeping the M3 stock isn't an option when I keep on lurking on E90post and M3post seeing many nicely modded E9X by you guys.
Since I came from a underpowered N52, a bump in power put my focus on aesthetic and handling instead.

Here's the info:

2008 E90 M3 95000km
Interlagos Blue on Silver Novillo
DCT
I-drive
EDC

Mods so far:

Gloss black kidney grills and fender gills
OSS headlights
Akrapovic Evo
Ohlins R/T with Vorshlag camber plates
Goodridge SS brake lines
Volk Racing G12 19x9.5 19x10.5 +20
Bridgestone RE-71R 255/35 275/35

Parts bought waiting for install when repainting the car:

Amuse front bumper
CF sideskirt extensions
Akrym rear diffuser
Varis lower diffuser

Here are the pics:

Out with the old





New love:













This is it for now, will post more when mod bug bites
Thanks for looking~

Thanks! There are dings and dents on 2 doors, scratches on quarter panel and rear bumper, painting the Amuse bumper as well. Thought I will be better off repainting the whole car

Was in a similar position last month, and had the whole car resprayed as well. Feels like a whole new car!
