UK Touring appreciation thread!

There is a lot of love for the Touring, thought I'd start a thread to share pictures of old and new E91's from the UK!

Main front options seem to be either the BMW Performance splitters or 3D Design/Arkym etc do ones that run the full length of the bumper.

You could also do the Perf ones and then a flat lip below etc.

I have corner splitters, a reasonably priced solution instead of a full performance bumper. Either in carbon or colour coded.

Afraid I don't have the colour , code or even a ral number mate. Can easily make the same effect if you blacked the wheels first and apply thin coats of light anthracite and build up until your happy with the result. There's no course metallic in them either there pretty flat.

My old Japan Red one, and new Space Grey one





It's funny, because when I got my red one 4 years ago there was hardly any love for the E91, but these days everyone seems to want them on here!

Had my E91 coming up for 2 years now and love it! Done a few bits and pieces to it, mainly OEM+ and have a few more things I'd like to do. The original owner spec'd it fairly highly with some BMW individual options. The photos don't really do the colour justice, which is ruby black, looks really good in sunshine after a wash (if you ignore the swirls, could do with a bit of a detail!)

Couple of dirty pics from a holiday to Scotland last year:





And a more recent one after some suspension work:

Fully poly bushed, M3 front LCAs and Bilstein B12 kit. M3 arms make such a difference!

I'm thinking of doing a suspension overhaul so will definitely look at the M3 arms!
