Abbas' Ride | Sex on da wheels or BMW E93

[abbas_dxb]

Before I had a BMW, I thought that this brand is just expensive, luxury and people buy it just to show off.
Later on, after driving my ride for about 1k-2k, I understood that BMW is not just a luxury car, it is a Bavarian well-engineered creation that has to be driven by real enthusiast.
So, what I've got here:
BMW E93 325i (Convertible)
Inline 6 cyl, 2500cc
218 HP, Approximately 8 seconds to 100
Red Dakota Leather
Full Options

I opened this thread not because I'm trying to show off or something, but because I really need suggestions, ideas, advices about the tuning and mods for this car.
Enjoy pics:

That some sweet photography with an even sweeter Alpine White beauty to match !!
Where are you based exactly, number plates ?

Some ideas on modding her. Start with the Aero package, also known as the M kit, then go with proper wheels. Preferrably 3-piece and ofcourse a suspension drop. Either a standard spring lowering drop kit or a coil over system, depends on your driving preferences.

Lets start with the small cosmetic mods that I have done to my babe.
First of all, I ordered from Ebay and installed myself the CF roundels.
The car with them looks really sexy, i like it!

sweet ride ;)

I also have ordered CF mirror covers and front CF grills from Ebay.
Easy to install, so much positive emotions


CF grills looks much better than stock, my opinion

M-tech rear lip spoiler
Also from E-bay.

Im here, in Dubai
I have sent the car to my homeland, which is Azerbaijan.
Aero package, u mean full package?
What I want to do is put the front M-tech aerolip, M3 side skirts, back bumper from 335 M technic, because I have some plans regarding the exhaust system.
I'm working on selling my stock wheels, so I can buy forged 19"
Suspension drop is kind of unreal for me, because roads there are not the best, so I just feel sorry for the ride

You said it just right, M3 side skirts work too. 19"s on bad roads aren't a good idea either, so 18"s with a drop makes more sense in my book.

Right now I have only one mod in my head!
Exhaust!
This is my idea, not really mine, I'm trying to adopt it.
My car is double exhausted, but from one side.
My plan is to made it Quad exhausted like M3. I thought that is very difficult and impossible, but then I found some good way of doing that.
This is what I want:


This can be reached like this(Or any othe way that u might suggest):


Can u guys suggest, if there is a place in Dubai, where I can get materials for this mod?
The things that I need are these:


And offcourse, couple of types.
I called to Fox Exhausts and Alcapri, they don't really understand what I want.
I need muffler and endings of 2.5" diameter.

What do u think guys?
And offcourse, I need to buy M tech back bumper of 335, so I can cut a bit, fit the four types and then put CF diifuser to finish the CF styling

I have time till summer, so I can think about the wheels.
Maybe I'll lower it by 1.5" and fit 18"s BBS on Pilot Sport.
More lowering will cause big problems for me, believe me ))))

So the only negative thing about my ride, is that the body is heavy for the engine, which means that I'm losing time on acceleration.
The problem with the non-turbo engine on E9X, is that no modification, except turbo ofcourse, can really add any horse power to it.
My idea is to install AEM of K&N high-flow filter. I heard E90 with AEM filter, I loved the aggresive sound of it.
Some people say that this filter adds 8-11HP, but in reality not more that 0.8-1.1 HP is added.
Chip gives nothing also :((
Any ideas about this topic?

Allright, I'll just attach them for you

My friend that lives in Sweden suggested me to buy the "Simons" exhaust.
The very best price for it is about 150$, that is 500 dhs.
+ the endings, about 250dhs each.
So the total, will be about 1000-1200 for material, rest for work.
I think I should go for it. For better sound, maybe should delete the resonators
