Get a disk lok on it and system flashed as these can be nicked via obd port.
B*stards lifted my brothers e90 m sport. Luckily the cops on a random pull caught the guys and got the car back.

Does the sunroof replace the carbon roof then ? never seen one without the carbon roof before ? how does it compare to your old e46 ?

Yeh the carbon roof only comes on the coupes not the convertable or saloon, it's also available to request a sunroof instead of the carbon roof for an extra £675.

I'd probably have preferred the carbon roof but with this age/mileage/spec I couldn't care less about the carbon roof. I actually think I prefer it now, it's more flowing with the roof in white and pretty rare too!

E46 disappointed me a bit to be honest, never the car I thought it would be. This is miles better and up to now I prefer it over the porsche.

Thanks mate!

Ok, so the work I'm having done is the Primary cat delete pipes (restrictive 300 cell cats up front) and Evolve stage 2 remap. Should see it at around 450-460bhp with a nice boost in torque too.

That's about 375 RWHP

See link for more info

I'm also having evolve update the dct to the M3 GTS software for faster changes etc and the servotronic update.

I also couldn't resist and ordered a genuine bmw performance carbon spoiler.

I picked up my performance spoiler today (thanks Chris).


I took the original off, cleaned it all up ready to fit the new one and it started raining :-/ so I'll get pics up when it's done. Looks bare with no spoiler/boot lip :-(

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
