Really like the wheels, cant help but think it might have looked better as a 3 door though - but thats just me.
Love the wheels, and totally disagree the saloons look far better than the coupe. Unless it's an M3 the coupe just doesn't look meaty enough. Not sure about the grill though OP.
Disagree entirely, the front and back of the saloon looks nothing like as good as the coupe. I think the E92 especially the LCI in M Sport trim is a fantastic looking car and has aged very well. I wouldn't have the saloon over the coupe ever unless I needed the extra doors.

Nice car OP with decent modifications, I'd invest in a set of darklines for the rear though.

thanks mate, i like both the coupe and saloon and didnt mind which one i got, this one came up for sale and i really liked it so i bought it.

Fitted a set of xenons to it, the difference is night and day literally

Ok guys bit of an update, i have been busy smile

Brought the car in to my dads workshop to get a bumper respray, it was badly stone chipped, scuffed and the lacquer was peeling in some places. Whilst i was in there i fitted the M-Sport rear, Angel Eyes & HIDs, Gloss black grills , yellow fog lights and took all the stickers off it.

Hope you guys like smile


Some general pics

Looking good, I have put an lci diffuser on mine, it makes such a difference to the rear. I fancy an lci light/boot upgrade next!

I think the shape of the front is a trap for stones, mine is covered aswell!

Looks good, love the CSL’s. I may be wrong, but I thought for MOT purposes a car with Xenons must also have the headlight wash system?

thanks guys, yeah there is meant to be headlight washers on the car for xenons but as mine are retro-fit it doesnt have them.

I think that looks great tbh. Well done.

Who makes those headlights? They don't look like genuine BMW parts, but don't look like bad aftermarket gear.

Thanks man, the headlights are made by DEPO, they are aftermarket but they are the closest match to the originals that you can get.

Looking good.

How much were the lights? A mate is looking for an E91 330d and its a lottery finding one with Nav and Xenons!

Looks fantastic, great work!

Makes me want to put the Sport kit in my car... Must stop reading this thread, could get expensive!

Thanks lads smile The lights were £300, then £50 for the HID kit with decoders to bypass the canbus wiring system.
