Er the limiter is 155mph right? Where is your daily driving Raz

So is that an Evolve off-the-shelf package you are doing or is there some bespoke/with their blessing?

(Sorry to pinch your thread, Win). I was thinking stock exhaust - I like quiet girls too - and this from Superchip. At £320 all in that seems good value. I had one in my Corrado G60 which, with a few other mods, took it into 911 territory until I blew a hole in the G-laden

Vilner Stormtrooper, based on the E64 M6. Slightly unfortunate choice of name; but I think it's a Star Wars reference!

If you want genuine aero type bits fair enough but I've fitted copies of ac schnitzer stuff on my e92 stage 2 335d. I only bought splitter and roof spoiler.

No one can tell and they come painted etc with fitting kit from Taiwan, I was so impressed paint match is excellent and solidly fit year on and no cracking or fading, I can point you in the direction of the eBay shop if you want as they do m sport copies.

Aren't you a warranty queen Rog?
I think i would be if my car had any value still. Did it for 2 years.

Parked next to a 4 coupe today, the E92 is so much nicer imo although the M is the one really, even the 335i is very subtle in E92 form

Indeed I am darling but I still dream of the day when I will be free ... Agree on the E92 shape
