Type of modification on your E90

[velocity]

Yea. You can order the full range, from them such as brakes, intake, strut bars, wheels, exhaust etc. I suspect they don't keep all of them in ready stock and you'll have to wait but not sure. Velocity how long did you have to wait for your parts or were they in ready stock?

About 3 weeks i think for the whole order to come. the last item arrive is the special glue for the CF front flip. Yes. special glue, not the cap gajah glue one.

 

[velocity]

I think most of the parts they have stock. What's the point of requiring them to meet quotas and not letting them have the stock and how to sell without stock.. and these are not fast moving items.. but still must check with them just to be sure :wink:

I've seen a 1 series coupe in IA showroom slap on with full CF accessories. Now I know where all those accessories comes from.. :top:

they dont simpan stock on Performance parts laa. Im sure of that. must back to back order.

today i saw one at SS2 on the 325 sports and it looks damn good...it makes the presence more muscular...:top:

Ummmm.... Looks very familiar... I'm sure Tribena would remember tailing one that looked exactly like in the picture during the Kuala Klawang drive, heh!

Check out the new BMW Performance CF rear boot spoiler. Its the nicest looking one for the E90 I've seen. Also think the new 5 spoke BMW Performance type 313 wheel looks good.

Nice seats!

and BMW performance gearknob (auto)

[racheltoh]

The BMW performance intake is finally on the car. Its absolutely lovely, a noticable difference in throttle response and sounds fantastic. A pronounced deep growl in WOT in mid range and a raspy scream at the high end. The cars feels perky overall as though you were driving in 23 degree weather. I love it! Compared to the K&N drop in filter I had in the car (which only felt smoother) this is noticably more effective.

I'm waiting for 330i rear brake dust shields before my performance brake kit can be installed. Another 2 weeks to go for that while the part is enroute.

Aheeerm... I need a ride in your car soon. I also heard that you're not the only one who has done the BMW performance air intake mod. Can we get more feedback?

When I was driving back to the office from Ingress after the install I must have looked like a crazy fella, cos I was smiling silly and shouting in the car "Wooohooo!" when floored the car. The K&N drop in filter just didn't give the same impact. Your turn to turn silly soon hehe.

Stuttgart brought in a total of 4 units of intake together with my order. As far as I know all 4 have been sold within 3 days! (so much for economic slowdown LOL) Price of the intake in Ingress is Rm4.9k. Eddie sells the same thing for RM3.8k.

Very interesting E46F! You've obviously laid out your Performance Parts plans. If it's not classified information, what comes after the intake and brakes? Surely the exhaust too, and then the interior trimmings? Do share with us so that we can live the upgrade experience vicariously through you!

Hahaha..... yes I agree!

I got my BMW Performance Air Intake done today.

Firstly, I love the look of the carbon fibre "BMW Performance" inscribed cover. It's rights in front of the engine cover and adds a lot of appeal to the engine bay look, priceless!

I can certainly feel the extra 3 bhp and better torque from the mid-range. Funj is right, the engine revs a bit more freely now. It's like the better feel you get when driving in cooler night temperatures even though it's a hot day. It was 33.5 celcius today. I can't wait to see if there is even more improvement in the night.

The aural sensation is the most pleasing though. I have often complained the N52 can sound too refined and quiet compared to the my ex-M54. That has changed and I find the lower sportier rumble very pleasing. It means business a bit more. I can't seem to notice the rasp that Funj talked about in the higher revs though. Yet again, didn't push too much on very busy roads today. But in the mid-range I found new purpose in driving with my windows down, hahaha!

I have been doing research on other BMW Performance parts and tried racun-ing Funj to get the performance sports exhaust. This one is supposed to be even more pleasing aurally with even better power gains. Let's do it....

BTW, Eddie of Stuttgart brought in 4 units of the Performance Air Intake and I was just told all snapped up within days. There is even now a waiting list. So, for those interested, I think another group buy is in order. It's worth every sen!

Ohhh... all 4 units snapped up by forummers. There are a few on waiting list, also forumers, ahhahahaha... word has gone out!

This is what BMW says about their sports exhaust for E90s. That's it... I'm calling Eddie to bring it in.

The BMW Performance exhaust system invigorates engine output by allowing engine by-products to exit the vehicle more efficiently. RPM performance is heightened and engine performance is increased by up to 5hp and 3 ft-lbs of torque at 6600 RPM, but there's also another benefit. As RPMs escalate, so does the exhaust note, creating a racy but never intrusive sound. (PN: 18 10 0 443 581) - US$1,488

i wonder if eddie can retrofit a 335i Performance Twin Muffler Exhaust into our 325i?

like this...:top::love:

I'm quite surprised you didn't get hitched too when E46F sent out his wedding invites!

Great going guys! Enjoying your stories. Oh, to be young and footloose again, sigh!

Velocity swears that the performance exhaust was his best mod. Most E90 post folks also state its the most enjoyable mod even more than the intake. As for the rasp of the Performance intake it comes in late i.e. 6-7k rpms and is a real ego booster haha. Any others who have installed it wanna share their experience?
