Please advice: BMW Performance upgrade - E92 320

[jseah_70]

Hi all,
I'm looking for advice and recommendation for companies who can provide labour & parts on the following installation. Looking up to fellow forumers over here who have done this before and is having good experience on this upgrade.

I was thinking of doing it in 2 stages.

Stage 1:

1. Door Sill (optional)
2. Performance CF strut brace
3. Chrome front grill
4. Performance suspension

Stage 2:

1. BMW Performance Side skirts
2. M Aerodynamic rear bumper with CF diffuser (can I actually use the stock bumper to cut-out??)

Comments and feedback are welcome, thank you guys and gals!

Re: Please advice: BMW Performance upgrade - E92 320

Stage 1:

1. Door Sill (optional) - forgot about this mod. Least noticed. My suggestion - just wrap it with CF prints

2. Performance CF strut brace - get it

3. Chrome front grill - looks like stock? Get the chrome shadow version instead.

4. Performance suspension - purpose? Handling (KW2 better choice) or drop (springs)?

Stage 2:

1. BMW Performance Side skirts - subjective, but I think aftermarket brands carry more character

2. M Aerodynamic rear bumper with CF diffuser (can I actually use the stock bumper to cut-out??) - check with SWC Mike

Hi Ken,
Thanks, good constructive feedback, appreciate it.

Stage 1:

1. Door Sill (optional) - forget about this mod. Least noticed.

My suggestion - just wrap it with CF prints.
Question: Is this from Robson or the decal guy - Johnson??

2. Performance CF strut brace - get it
Question: You know who have this? You have and is selling it??

3. Chrome front grill - looks like stock? Get the chrome shadow version instead.
Question: Good idea! where to find this ah? Waiting for Brimshop actually

4. Performance suspension - purpose? Handling (KW2 better choice) or drop (springs)?
Thanks, will get KW2 then. Boss has them right?

Stage 2:

1. BMW Performance Side skirts - subjective, but I think aftermarket brands carry more character
I prefer this SS, dunno why but I like the holes at the end near the rear wheel.

2. M Aerodynamic rear bumper with CF diffuser (can I actually use the stock bumper to cut-out??) - check with SWC Mike
Will check with Mike but stage 2...hehe.

That will set you back by around $6K. Why not just reflash your ECU or upgrade your ICE?

Well its like a mini project for me and I can do it whenever I have time. That's why I like all all the small stuff.

For your suggestion, it will be done as well but at a later stage, these 2 are tried and tested before with my previous car. Had mine ECU remapped at BOSS and did the Alpine upgrade as well

Thanks for your comment.

Just get decal from Johnson, or do a DIY. Easy job.

2. Performance CF strut brace - get it

My car is gone !!! I had the V-shaped M3 strut because of my CAI.....

3. Chrome front grill - looks like stock? Get the chrome shadow version instead.

Bimshop

4. Performance suspension - purpose? Handling (KW2 better choice) or drop (springs)?
