Saw your thread, decided to comment. Lovely ride & mods

Your photos of the perf bumer show it in angles that people dont really post it in, I enjoyed seeing it vs Msport e81

Also, the BMW Performance bumper is getting fitted on Tuesday.

Other plans at present are:

* Mirror caps painted "Ferric Grey"
* Fit stubby aerial of some description
* Rear diffusor painted gloss black
* Fit OZ NOVA wheels
* Fit 1M xenons (currently only have a passenger side)
* Front bumper lip spoiler (Kerscher)
* Find a pair of Alcantara seats from a crashed F21 (long wait ahead!!)
How do you know that F21 seats fit? I wanna play the wait game too.

Anyway on the bright side I will be sinking the cash I had to one side for those parts into another xenon light - I have FINALLY found a drivers side 1M xenon and I will be ordering it from Germany on Monday


The plan will then be to sell my stock Xenons on eBay and buy some E92 M3 suspension parts to tighten the handling up even more.
Hand brake for 135i brakes may work if you look into the recent z4 forum on bimmerpost. Requires cutting up rear back plates and the 135i hub bearing thing.

The trim should be painted the same grey colour your Mirrors are...
