OP you forgotten about these pics hahared_35is said:sunnydays said:That carbon fibre rear diffuser is beautiful. Any more pictures from further back?
Also any performance modifications on your car yet?
Thanks! I'll take some more photos for you soon.
No performance mods, car is still under BMW warranty, so I can't mess about with it.

Needs the front lowering a touch and a BBK to really finish it off....but it looks mighty fine, wheels are perfect.
It seems already slightly nose low?
BBK? Can you enlighten me pls? I assume it’s not a Burger King whopper

:lol:
Nose low already....?? Have you seen the arch gap on the front squire..? :?
PB do front and rear 4,6, 8 pot kits for the E89 along with a line lock for the rear. Ok I agree they’re not necessary but this car is not exactly standard in looks is it, I do think a nice set of anodised calipers with polished bells would look awesome on it.

Thank you!
I've kept the BMW warranty going so no messing about with it too much. Besides, my car comes with the M sport adaptive suspension, and if I'm right, drops the car about 10mm?? Which also means BMW's R&D department spent time on the optimal setup for this car, I don't want to change that just for some looks. Plus if it was any lower, I think I would scrape the front splitter getting on and off my drive, right now it clears it perfectly.
Speaking from experience of my second car which I dropped by 30mm, I instantly regretted it, driving that car was no longer a joy and I could barley get over speed humps; going up at one angle then coming down at another angle.
I vowed... never again!!

cup holder solution... sort of...
found this on eBay
and it fits good on the little shelf behind the seats
As you can see - it can fit tall cups, bottles and even those big 2.2L water jugs.
Been using it since for a couple of months now, doesn't slide or move about, using a little bit of the cargo netting to keep it secure in place.
The reason why it is a sort of a solution is because you would have to reach around behind you to pick up/place your drink, which I do not recommend whilst driving. However for me its great for taking the big 2.2L water jug to the gym. And I like to take a hot tea with me to work, when I arrive it's the right temp. for me to drink.
