Light Touch Mods for Pre Facelift E89
Hi Guys
Had my black 2010 35i for about a year now and generally really pleased with it. I'm now looking at some light touch (i.e. not big bucks) mods that I can do to improve the look, the performance and the experience but need some suggestions please. My thoughts so far have been : - smartTop roof auto raise/lower - alloy pedals - hubs and callipers paint-job No idea where to start on the performance chipping so input would be good. Don't want to go nuts but an extra 40 or so bhp wouldn't hurt I reckon ! Also I'd love to do something about my yellow halos ! Checked out replacement headlight units but they cost a fortune so is there another way ??? Finally I have 19" 296 style wheels which I was thinking about getting a smoke chrome paintjob for. Thoughts ?? Any other ideas welcome but nothing too 'Liberace' please !! Cheers Simon |

LCI side indicators, would look good on black.
Then remove badge below as it looks too fussy. Strange I went from a black grille to silver! Each to their own. And locate a spare alloy in case you crack one. My pet project was/is fitting all the extended lighting my car was missing. |

I would recommend Cobb and Wagner front mount intercooler for easy plug and play power. H&R springs /sway bars, maybe Turner Motorsport strut bar for improved handling.
For looks I like silver grill w/ black centers, lci side markers. After that possibly 3D front lip, and trunk spoiler. I actually opted for an imitation lip from eBay because I couldn't cope with the stress off breaking or losing such a pricey piece of kit. |
