Nothing exciting to update the thread with unfortunately, decided to stay away from any mods and keep it as oem as possible!
Also i've been away with work the past few months so its nice to be able to take it for a drive in it even if the weather isn't great.. Going to try and drive it as much as possible otherwise i'll get itchy feet again
.
Picked up a new camera, the sony x100 iv and theres no better way to test it out than some snaps of the car! Here's a few after a quick wash earlier. For the size of the thing its take one hell of a picture.

Few updates, upgraded the yellow/ orange angel eyes to the new style 6500k white to modernise the front.

These came recommend over on m3cutters:

50:50 shot to show the difference:

Hard to photograph these as they appear to our eyes but they look much crisper than the proginal ones:

Purchased some bmw rubber mats for the Winter months to keep the velour ones fresh and theyll be easier to keep clean as well:

Next was to give the car a decent wash as it was a litttlllleee bit dirty..

Hyper Wash used as a snow foam followed by Auto Finesse Lather Shampoo:

Even whipped out the under chassis cleaner:

It still needs a thorough clean which i'll hopefully do next year when I've more time to do it right.
On Saturday i picked up a new set of 19" M359s in Gunmetal Grey from CM Wheels. Having had the satin black finish on my last e92 i fancied a change, grey looks aggressive without being too dark all the spoke details are lost.

New centre caps and M-tec badges were bought from bavarian:
_00A8271 by Melvyn Nicholls, on Flickr
Michelin Super Sports in the oem tyre sizes were purchased via Carryduff tyres and mounted perfectly as usual, next was to seal the alloys up with G-tec C5 Wheel armour. Supposedly gives a years protection, gives off a lovely gloss as well:

G-tech Tyre gel applied to give a nice black finish without being too glossy:
_00A8281 by Melvyn Nicholls, on Flickr
The wheels and tyres were left overnight for the C5 armour to cure:
_00A8287 by Melvyn Nicholls, on Flickr
Rolled them outside this morning and they looked stunning!

12mm spacers for the rear and black extended bolts also fitted:

The pictures don't do the wheels justice, they look a world better in person. I'll try to find a better spot for pictures soon without the direct lighting as well.
Probably will have to get a set of eibachs to compliment them as well in the new year but will see..

Looks fantastic.
Would love to see a subtle drop over those wheels. Or a mental drop for that matter, your call.
