I dropped my grandma off at a weeding today and was heading back I so this E90 and saw that he has one tip exhaust , I think he saw me (had my CCFLs on without xenons) and he floored it a floored it right behind him I caught up , I was think he has 7 more BHP his car should be lighter so I should see him just fly away , but he wasn't I actually caught up with him on the roundabout :D:D not sure if my car handles better , but I was faster than him entering it and through it lol ... this the road we did it on we stopped as soon as we had heavy traffic lol and say go do it on track we don't have one lol this how its done here in saudi in street roads late at night with no traffic lol, maybe I will meet him again and end get him on here lol

Adood ! man you crack me !!!!
On another note Adood is yours the 2 litre I6 or the 1.9 ?
Have you got an exhuast ? remap i know you have the air intake
i've seen how Saudis do it !!! 4 wheel drive on 2 wheels ! , going a 100mph then pulling the handbrake !!! crazy races between GT2's and s/c M5's !!! saudi is car mad !!!
Juber if it was me in my R32 that journey would be half that time !!

:cool: Adood save up for suspension , then uprated pads/discs and after that get a full system or just a backbox if you want !
You can make the 4pots handle very tidely indeed !!!!!!
i used to rag the crap out of my 4 pot 318is and i used to keep up with more potent machinery !!!
what are your plan for mods on the car ? I love your wheels btw really suit your facelift car !

oh the new one wheels ? they aren't to everybody's taste but I like them and I need them for my next mod , I don't how long this might to do lol but I've got all the time I need lol
next mods list :
1. M-tech body kit + M3 mirrors (which should finish the main part of exterior)
2. Uprated suspension (coilovers )
3. Anti roll bars
those are the main things I want to do in the next 2 years lol , or maybe next year when I start working for cooperative work for my degree

I've been thinking since I posted this "how much would I need to get the full M-tech kit " side skirts , bumpers ?
The dealer sells the whole kit for 1000 pounds and thats without painting and fitting which could cost about 500 pounds more, is there a way that I could get it for cheaper ? I tried to do a search on Ebay , I only found one guy selling the front bumper new in the us for 225 $ and he only accepts Paypal accounts and stuff but thats the only one I've found . And also the M3 mirror here costs about 900 pounds from the dealer thats including painting and fitting. I think I could cut on the fitting part and fit it my self saving my self some money . the BMW painter is really good , the BMW parts really expansive .......

Adood why not speak to Roy or Teddy about a bodykit / mirrors?
the m - tec will look sick but instead of the M-tec front get a M3 bumper ?
the dealer prices are pure stooooooooopidity !!!i say go very very very good replicas will save you alot of money !!!
good luck with everything the modding bug is crazy !

I'm spending every thing I'm getting on this car tell me about lol .
I don't like the mirrors that Teddy sells and the one roy sells is for RHD cars :(
and I forgot one mod also , maybe if I change the rear bumper to sport bumper I could go for quad ? how would the quad sound on a 4 pot?
adood- them prices are crazy i picked up my full kit sprayed in silver i was lucky lol for £1000, so keep a look out il let you know if i see any goign cheap but shipping wil be expensive!! also mirors mate ask someone in this country to get them and maybe ship them out to you! personnaly i wouldnt go for reps if the originals are available i would only go rep wheels because you can't get csl's in the right fitment etc etc!! i think the sport body kit would look seriously good with you wheels!
