2011 e90 6spd

4dr_m3 · 06-02-2023, 10:59 AM

Figured its time for a build thread, after about 4 months of ownership. Jet Black on Bamboo Beige interior, purchased in Texas and drove it back to Florida. Car came stock, with what appears to be dealer-installed competition wheels according to the window sticker.

Came from a 2011 335i m-sport, and there is quite a bit of difference in the handling and feel of the car. While I miss the torque from the full bolt-on N55, there is nothing quite like high redline on a V8 with ITBs

Some of the work done on the car so far is BE rod bearings/ARP bolts, spacers, H&R lowering springs, Mr12Volt android auto/carplay unit with backup camera, Megan Racing cat back (Wanted something quiet and low)

Nice!

Well done! Really recommend the Induktiv phone charger to replace the tray in front of your gear shifter (and the magnetic knob you added in the center of the dash). Phone still communicates with bluetooth and cellular / data network fine but it does make the GPS in the phone a little glitchy.

I appreciate it, did not know a wireless charger was available

Went out to grab some updated photos today. She's not super clean, but luckily the dirt doesn't show in the pictures.

Transmission and differential oils will be here next week for some much needed maintenance.

Very nice. Love the subtle mods. The car seems to sit just right. Goes the ride in the H&R springs? What size spaces are you running?
