Sparkling Graphite E93

cage911 · 07-09-2012, 04:56 PM

Hey Guys

I have not been a e93 owner long, but I thought I give an update on what I have done to my car in the 6 and half months of ownership.

Anyway mods so far (Outside): Carbon fibre boot and bonnet badges, post 2010 LCI Tail-lights, white H8 led angel eye bulb upgrade, black grille, Eibach Sportlines Springs (for E91) and 10"x20"/8.5"x20" BBS LM reps.
(Inside): Pioneer AVIC-F20BT Sat/Nav DVD Unit, Janus-Design double din conversion, Digital TV Tuner, Sony PS2 with wireless controllers and headrest monitors with wireless headphones.

This is the one picture I got when I first fitted it. I have since adjusted the mounting so it sits squarer in the double din bezel.

Yes I still have steering control and PDC beeps. I just need to sort out the warning chimes.

Thank you for all the comments.

I agree the front is sitting slightly higher than I like; I will try some spring perches before bitting the coilover bullet.

What you have now is 1.5" in the front & 2" in the back?

It looks that way, but suppose to be the other way road as stated on the Eibach website (50mm Front/ 35-40 mm rear).

I will definitely try the spring perches first. I only want about another 15mm drop.
