Pics of Kris_d's car

[BigFas]

I'll let Kris explain himself what he's done to the car since getting it. I saw it myself last Friday and it's the first Individual Velvet Blue convertible I've ever seen.

3 individuals on the forum Digs, Westie and now Kris :)

[Mits]

Thats a nice colour, looks a lot like Avus Blue.....imagine that with cream leathers or maybe even white [cool

[kris d]

Cheers nick, nicked your's and durg's idea's :D

The colour on the pic doesn't do it any justice, it's actually purple with medium grey leather but looks blue with black in the pic.

Mod's list:

ACS Type 3's with Michelin Piolet Sport rubber (225/40/18 x 255/35/18, Eibach Prokit Springs, Umnitza 46 projector's with DDE + Xenon including Xenon fog's, clear indicators all round, BMW TV/Satnav/DVD retrofit, ACS gearknob white dials + soon handbrake (cheers fas), ACS Racing Strutbrace (cheers teddy), 3.23ratio rear differential from 325xi, genuine oem M3 mirrors, OEM LED rear lights including updated boot lid lights.

Awaiting fitting - Clubsport splittters, Zimmerman drilled disks, silver painted calipers.
Comming soon - Silver carbon interior, silver ACS tax disk holder, SK+ Supercharger (4 weeks :D ), einsman race exhaust.

It was standard before I started coming to this site, what can I say, Evotechnik is addictive [bang

[lee330sport]

Have you had your diff installed now, how do you find it?

[kris d]

Yea mate, got it fitted on Thursday night, took us about 7 hours due to lack of tools but could be done in 2 next time!
The increase in acceleration is propper, i'd say about 10 - 15% better acceleration than stock and it makes the car a lot more fun to drive. When racing off the lights :D it literally jumps forward when pulling away! Can still do about 62 in 2nd gear.

I'd deffinately recomend it to anyone, it cost me about 300quid and 50 to fit. [ok

[lee330sport]

Nice, im on the lookout for a 3.46 diff. Fab aint got any.

[kris d]

Try quarry bmw breakers. They've deffinately got a 3.38 in, most probably have a 3.46 in too!

[lee330sport]

Have you got a contact No or web address, Tried Google but cant find it?

[kris d]

www.quarrybmwspares.co.uk

let us know how you get on

[lee330sport]

[ok

Sent them an enquiry, will let you know. Did you install in youself?

[lee330sport]

Ordered, cheers Kris

[kris d]

Me and a mate did it, would have been MUCH easier with a set of ramps. t's just basically unscrew the bolts on your diff (about 30), pull it out, take the flanges off and push them on to your new diff and then put it in!

[kris d]

which one did you go for? I recon with the 3.46 and your sk+ you'll be keeping up with Mcars :cool:

Damn you make it sound so easy. lol i have access to ramps so might try it this weekend if my supercharger gear turns up.

[kris d]

check out Nights Auto ebay site, they're in canada and do the standard zimmermans which they drill themselves.... [banana

[kris d]

It will come with the ratio written on it and also the car which it's from written on it. I got mine from Quarry too and it was all marked up!
