AW E92 M3 DCT - Mods Thus Far!
As most of you know i sold my manual AW E92 M3 and replaced it with a DCT AW E92 M3!! Car is a 58 plate with the new 2009 iDrive and has every option bar rear blinds and TV. Like my last AW E92 M3 it DOES have EEEEE.DDDDDD.CCCCC!!! Have a few grumbles with the DCT but dont want to bore you with those now, overall very pleased with the car. Personally i love the new 2009 iDrive, massive improvement and love the new screen etc. Also love the keyless go function - but must get out of habit of checking the door handle once ive locked it as it then re-opens the car again... doh!! Find the auto hazard light function annoying when you slam the breaks on - i see the reason behind it but hope it doesnt start flashing after every hard corner on the Nurburgring in Aug - could be embarrassing!!!
So, mods so far to date include; Remus Race exhaust BMC Filter Evolve Remap (440bhp) Eibach Pro Kit Eibach Hubcentric Spacers (15mm rear/12mm front) Gloss Black OEM 19" Rims Gloss Black Kidneys Gloss Black Mirror Covers Gloss Black Side Grills & Tinted Lenses Gloss Black Boot Lip Spoiler Gloss Black Hood Vents Gloss Black M3 Badge CF Bonnet/Boot Badge CF Wheel Caps CF Steering Wheel Badge Already ordered a Vorsteiner rep front lip spoiler and VRS II rear diffuser - which i will colour code Gloss Black when they arrive. IF i then decide to keep this one a little longer then im considering AA power pulleys and an AA X-pipe as my next mods. Steve

Looks great Steve.
are those the same wheels from your old motor - they look much better in that picture.

Nice mods.... I am thinking about using Evlove myself for some mods. How was their work???
Good purchase on the VRS front and rear diffuser, I have them myself... makes the car look so much better. By the way... do you mind me asking where you got your mirror covers?? |

For the gloss black framed grilles you are best off buying the BMW performance ones - They look like this......

They are as far as the UK ones go from what I have seen, front Kidneys have chrome round the edges though.
