Just after some advice guys.

Bought myself an 07 E90 330i a couple of months ago and am now looking at a few little things I want to sort.

1. Would like to get the wheels (MV3s) refurbed. Only a few minor scuffs, but fancy getting them done in BMW ferric grey for a bit of a change, currently silver on a titanium silver car. Can anyone recommend somewhere in the north west, ideally local to Liverpool or Chester? Would also like to get the hubs painted as they are quite rusty looking and perhaps also the calipers to freshen them up.

2. The car currently has what I believe to be the standard exhaust on it, but with twin black pipes. What do people generally put on the 330i? Having come from VAG, miltek is probably the common option. Not seen any consistency with the 330i in terms of what owners go for. Don't want anything boomy or overly loud, just something to compliment the N52 engine note.

3. Remap - obviously as a NA car, this will have limited effect on output, but I'm keen to make the most of what's there in terms of delivery. Anyone have good eeriences?

Enjoying my first taste of BMW, and looking forward to getting to know it better in the coming months.

Cheers guys. My boss had actually mentioned wicked wheels. Will have a look at them.

Think you can get a BMW performance exhaust, quite pricey though to replace an exhaust that is in perfect working order. Someone mentioned torque flow exhausts. They do a back box for around £200, not sure what a full system would be though.

That curve on the 130i looks very impressive. How much was that? Evolve are down south aren't they?
