My E90 M3

Hey,

I Picked it up bone stock about 2 months ago with 22K on the clock. The tails came out a little darker than I thought they would but this is it so far.

*IND- Painted Jerez front grills, side grills, front reflectors and gloss black badge
*Smoked tails
*Active exhaust installed yesterday! Omar got me the hook up
had to fix some bent mounting tabs other than that fit perfectly.

next year: drop it add some wheel spacers and thinking about the Vossen Cv3s?

just some droid pics

Looking good. Going to tint the windows? That would look really nice I think.

how do you like the ae Exhaust? It is the first one I have seen/heard that I have really liked. I am about to do the stock exhaust mod myself.

Well I've had it on for less than 24 hours. BIG difference over stock which is all i'd heard before making the switch. It just has a sweet rumble to it in the low rpms from the cabin. Its just sounds beefy! According to my friend a hint of F1 style sound under full throttle from an outside point of view.

I was going to go with the Eisenmann race. However, Omar at active made me a deal I couldn't refuse! Packaging could have been better but a few adjustments and it fit perfectly.

turned a few more heads today so i'm guessing it sounds descent

speaking of license plates I notice a lot of people blank them out when posting.. When you drive you car on the highway or have it in a parking lot people are looking at it? what could someone do with it viewing it on the internet vs. someone seeing it on the street?

I've thought that too. Wider audience on the internet? A little paranoia?

I just wanted to see them. I like what I've got other wise I'd take them off. I let my brother drive it last night and I followed in his car to see how it looked and sounded. I love it more each day.... It's like a frickin child.
