Breyton Body kit for E39

[Rusty]

...

Hi, what does the kit include? Front, side and rear?
I bought my RD front (abt 3 years back) for around 1.2K (I think).

I had 18" Hamann on that car.
My mileage for E39 2.0L DVANOS (not 2.2L) was about 7.5KM/Ltr (about 13L/100KM on OBD). Not that great because of my agressive driving style.
Majority of the folks I checked had around 12 or 13L/100KM on OBD.
I had to remind myself that that was a relatively heavy car.

Based on Price vs. Performance ratio: Biggest noticeable improvement (relative) would be CAI and exhaust (maybe chipping and electric fan as well). IMO.

cheers

I am getting 6.8km/l to 7km/k on a e39 525i. I do 60% city driving and 40% highway. Your 7km/l on a 2.2l engine does sound abit high. Perhaps u do a fair bit of city driving or gun the car often?

Any pics on the Breyton kit? The M5 kit is abt $3.1k before respray and install. I decided to give up that mod project after realising that I wld probably have to upgrade to 18 inch for the car to look good. Too much money for a car I am not keeping forever

To Rusty - sorry what is CAI and how does it help to improve performance ?

To T6 - here is a pic of the Breyton kit

Nice kit. Though the AC one does look more aggressive, in my opinion.

Hi JHLim

Congratulations on your recent acquisition! I'm sure you'd enjoy every mile you cover with your UDM.

My ride does approximately 8 to 8.5km to the litre and I must say that I am far from being a "gentle" driver, but with the stepped up speed checks, I must admit that it's somehow indirectly helped.

Let's catch up sometime
