E90 330i Mods - Pics and suggestions

Hi Guys,

I wanted to share a pic or two of my beast and see what mods you guys suggest. As you can see so far I've just done the grill, gloss black as I didn't like the matt effect here. I also got the private plate and cover, avid DTM fan if you didn't guess!

I'm currently spraying a boot lip spoiler so will post some pics of that soon! Front lips are a no go... as I live in the kent countryside

I'm thinking new rims with no RFT as they are a painnnnnnn literally and it does track the road like mad sometimes. Anyone got rid of the RFT with much success?

If you got any nice examples of mods like rear diffusers, carbon etc would be cool to post below.

ALSO I am in major need of an exhaust, but cant afford an Eisemann... Any experience here? I was thinking Scorpion or Remus...maybe a custom made one? Any advice would be much appreciated!!! This is probably my next mod as its all about the tuned sound for me.

Oh and I'm located in Kent, are there any good car meets going down I need to know about?!

330i I'm so envious!

Nothing looks as good as 19inch BBS LMs in Gold with a Polished Lip on a black E90 imo, spacers to push close to fenders then drop slightly so it sits perfect... wouldn't really need to do much else aside from an exhaust!!

if your thinking custom exhaust go for twin pipe 335 style, csnt imagine it being much more and all youl need extra is a 335 diffuser

Do you have CCC or CIC?

If neither or CCC consider a CIC retrofit with Combox. I have had the CIC replace my CCC system and it is Streets, nay Motorways, ahead of the CCC system, and with the Combox to go with it is in, my humble opinion, the best MOD you can do

CSL Type Boot spolier!

She is looking good though!

Cheers for the response guys, OK so I just had a look at the rear diffuser and it just unclips once the bolts are taken out! Should I just buy some carbon wrap and do this myself or actually buy a new diffuser? anyone done this themselves.... pics/vids

Also I love the 335 rear end so I'd love to get a double exhaust however under the car it doesn't look like there is enough room for any pipework at all on that side??? What exhausts have you guys got...what is a PE exhaust 'performance'?

The car is CIC i think...its got sat nav, bluetooth, service computers etc even tells you how long on the brake pads! It's a triptronic which is good in the traffic! Can feel somewhat sluggish in auto tho when it shifts at 3k rpm. But soon as its in manual its a different story

Nice looking car, great to another 330i. I would add to the mix some darkline rear lights, and if you can, tinted front lenses with Lamin-x. I think it creates a moody look (see my journal thread in my signature, its an E91, but you get the idea).
