Hello,am from Croatia,Osijek..but i was born in Belgrade...greetings!

FrenchBoy · 10-07-2008, 04:35 PM

Congrats!

Could you take more photos from the inside? I am getting the exact same color combo (Fox red w/ Al Trim) on my 09 E90 M3, and I too did not want/get iDrive.
Thanks

Here is a pic. The color looks more Cinnamon in pics. I would say the Fox is somewhere in between Imola and Cinnamon in real life. This was taken with no flash and overcast day.

call me weird, but I kinda of like that smell. Don't know why.

Fkellym3 · 10-08-2008, 02:34 AM

I gotta tell you..the back seat are really really small....

would you agree?

dawgdog · 10-08-2008, 06:33 AM

Nice! This is the best car I have ever owned as well; the only negative being fuel consumption. I just need to get it on a track more so I can explore more of what this car has to offer.

Good to hear! I think I met you at the Alfa track day in July. I chatted with you a bit and told you that I was ordering an 09 Sedan. It's now on its way ;-)

kbk_75 · 10-08-2008, 02:07 PM

Congrats, that's a nice car! I sometimes wish BMW India offered the E90 M3, I might have seriously considered it.

eclipsisNA · 10-08-2008, 02:52 PM

Any reason why you didn't go with a full hood clear bra? You wouldn't have that line there if you did that. Otherwise everything looks fantastic.

Now you need to get "4EVRS65".

Looks sweet. But do something about those orange warts on the bumper.

Cool, I would just say omit the moonroof. It will get the sedan very close to the carbon roof as far as weight reduction.

It's not the smell that bothers me, it just looks bad, especially under the hood and around the engine.

Well, the line is barely noticeable. I've never had the whole hood done.

I have the parts most likely to be damages by rocks; full bumper, 1/4 panels, front 1/3 hood, mirrors and right behind the wheels.

Some people don't like the dash without Nav but I like it. I think the second bump dashes looks like an afterthought.

It improves the color of the halos but the output it about the same as stock. All in all, definately looks better!

Actually I was considering 'S65B40 M'

mPlasticDesign · 10-13-2008, 12:45 PM

Just got these in on Saturday, so I have my weekend project planned. I have a feeling these will be a bit more difficult to install than my Mcoupe scoop.
Oh and

to Eloy at RPI for great customer service!
