What have you done to your BMW 330 ZHP?! and plan to do...

[L0veZHP]

I'll start.

- Euro Side Mirrors
- Changed Center Console (old one was chipping)
- HID Fog Lights
- Changed Shift Boot (Alcantara, the old one was messed up)

Plan to

- HID lights interior
- Angel Eyes 5000k White
- Performance Pedals
- Carbon Fiber License plate
- Touch up on some paint
- Paint Calipers

(THEN PERFORMANCE MODS!)

[gr330zhp]

Mods include:

Clears
AFE Cold air intake
Turner Motorsport Pullies
BMW Performance Carbon strut bar (installing this weekend)
Umnitza Orion V2 Angel Eyes
Color matched grille and fog light trim
B&M short shifter
Dice Link (this is coming out)
Painted brake calipers/hubs
30% tint
///M dead pedal
New OE steering wheel
Euro center console (cup holder delete)
Hella off road fog light bulbs
ZHP Clubsport Splitters (waiting install)
BMW OE Rubber mats
License plate delete trim
Back to OE lower mesh grill (had AA brake cooling rings in the grille, which is an E39 mod)

Maintenance: The right preventative maintenance from ~26k miles :) Too much

Future:
Back to LED license plate bulbs
Bluetooth mod
Homelink install
Maybe Dynavin (still iffy on this as I am usually very against big audio mods, but we'll see)
Shark Injector
Exhaust of some sort
Wheels

Theres more but thats all I can think of now

Real nice set up man! :cheers

I plan to steal some of your ideas (Dice Link/Euro Center)
but where would I get Dice Links from and Euro Center?

[gr330zhp]

Thanks! It's not much as mods go, but I am hardcore on preventative maintenance. That's where most of the money goes :)
Dice Link can be found on BSW's site. Bavariansoundwerks

The euro center I bought from Turner Motorsport. I love it because other than bottled water, I dont allow drinks in the car, so this makes it easier. And most people have never seen it before :)

[mimalmo]

You guys should do project threads.

[L0veZHP]

You guys should do project threads.

Explain this? I'm new lol. What's a project thread?

[gr330zhp]

I prob should, shouldnt I?

L0ve, you can see in the project section, many others have started threads on the story of how they got it, mods and maintenance they have done, with plenty of pics :)

I just bought my car exactly 2 weeks ago today so while my knowledge of what's available is relatively limited this is what I'd like to do:

Repair:
CCV needs to be replaced
Minor P/S Leak (as per BMW)
Cracking front bushings (as per BMW)
Small paint damage near the driver door. Gonna have it repaired, resprayed and the whole car re-cleared by BMW.

Near Future (After Repairs):
White/Black CF hood/trunk emblems
CF Kidney's
Homelink
AUX Input Port
All-Weather BMW floor mats
19" NAD-1 Wheels, 265R, 245F http://www.nadwheels.com/wheels/NAD-1%20Silver2.jpg. My friend owns the set so I'm getting them cheap with tires :)

Modest Desires ("Coming Soon"):
BMW Performance CF strut bar
AFE Intake (Most likely, not sure which intake I should actually get)
Reflash Tune by Millerspec (I don't remember who he gets the ecu software actually retuned through, some company in england)
Dynavin deck with the relocation kit for the HVAC
Taillights smoked

Indulgences:
CF Hood (with mat black kidneys)
CF Trunk
Cross-drilled/Slotted rotors
SS Brake lines
Angel Eyes
Real CF interior trim to replace the black cube faux CF pieces
CF Center "area" (Turner Motorsports I think)

[danewilson77]

I was curious if you have found a decent CF Hood? I was very disappointed when I found out Vorsteinner stopped production of E46 Sedan hoods and so far the best I've seen is by VIS, and even then they are ok looking compared to Vorsteiner. Any luck?

R/S/R tails, smoked sidemarkers and turns
LED bulb conversion in said lights
New headlight lenses with lamin-x to protect
Perhaps an LED interior conversion; haven't decided; I like the light OEM provides
E9x M-Sport shift knob conversion
Stitched alcantara shift boot from Coby Wheel
Maybe custom interior trim, haven't decided. Would do myself
Black LTW flag in front left corner of hood
Catback exhaust - haven't decided which yet
Intake - haven't decided which
Roll rear fenders
Maybe spacers, ~12mm?
Short Shift Kit is a maybe. I like the stock feel
Replace fog light "trim" with stock black ones
Maybe a no holes license plate mount like DW's - will probably leave no plate if I never get hassled by 5-0
Valentine-1

One day, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the road, I'd like to do a full Natural Brown Leather retrofit to all seats, including door panels. This is when the alcantara wears down too much. OR, will reupholster worn sections with the same cloth material the seat centers have. This is more likely; wears a lot better than leather and alcantara.
