I gave my e92 a good clean over the weekend as I was visiting some family and i had ordered some new mats from Cotswold that needed fitting.

Its e92 320d LCI in Le Mans Blue with Jade Grey interior. Personally I love the contrast of the blue and the grey, its not for everyone but i think the piano black trim has improved it a lot.

Most of the mods I've done have come from other forum members or German eBay.

Its very OEM+ mainly because i hate things which don't fit/need work.

A little list of whats been done:
OEM Piano Black Trim - only exception being the centre console. This is burr walnut which was then professionally repainted/finished in piano black. Finding an original centre console in piano black is almost impossible!

Fx Series Auto Gearstick
Alpine Stereo Upgrade with L7 Subs
6FL USB Upgrade
Eibach Pro Springs
12mm Spacers all round
OEM Performance Exhaust
OEM Performance Diffuser
OEM Performance Mirror Caps
OEM Performance Spoiler
OEM Performance Lip
OEM Performance Grills
OEM Performance Power Pack

Looks stunning

Absolutely sweet man!

[AndyT330i]

Looking very very nice

Love the front lip

[Isakdan]

Looks great! I want to pull the trigger on the performance lip but the front end scraping over speed jumps on stock M Sport suspension makes me cringe at the thought!

Looking awesome buddy, I like the mods on this car.

The 7th picture captures some extreme orange peel!

Stunning. LeMans is sweet but then I'm biased as my E53 4.8is is in LeMans blues lol.

Perf bits really add a whole lot to the package.

Looks lovely mate. Keeping with OEM performance parts costs a fortune but it paid off with the look.

[GOWRIN]

That is a lovely looking car mate.
If you don't mind sharing how you done the fx series auto gearstick, that is quite a neat mod.

+1 I wouldn't mind knowing. Much better than the normal one.

follow that link, lockman shows exactly how to do it and where he got it from

Thanks guys

To answer a few questions.

The lip isn't bad at all for speed bumps. I go over 5-6 each day on my daily commute and park in several car parks. It's cleverly designed which helps with clearance and you don't have to worry about the underside. Just take your time and you will be fine.

Performance parts can be pricey but if you keep looking you can get some good deals. I've acquired these parts over roughly 2 years.

I didn't use Lockmans kit for the gear shift, I really didn't want to cut my gear stick especially when returning it to stock. Check Calluhan's build thread and that is the one I used.

The car really does need a detail, the orange peel is bad. I just need to find somewhere in West Yorkshire

That's quite pricey but i guess it is oem. I've seen this on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1711957999...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

What's the part number for the oem lip?

Had a quick look today but work kept on getting in the way...

I have had a look at that one before but wasn't sure about the build quality. What do you think of the quality mate?

Thanks

It's only for LCI cars. I can find out once I get home

Build quality is great IMO. I'm pretty picky and it's the closest thing I could get to a OEM solution. I can get some more pics up. I've had it over a year now and had no issues whatsoever.

Sounds good to me mate, I am sold
If you don't mind some close ups would be appreciated
Thanks

Cars looking good. If you don't mind saying, where did you get the centre console refinished and how much did it cost? I have the brushed aluminium ones in mine but really want piano black.
