Hi all,

After waiting many months, i have finally taking delivery of my 3 coupe with the following specs:

2008 e92 328 space gray
-saddle brown dakota
-gray poplar wood trim
-sport package
-premium package
-auto trans/paddle shift

-15mm spacers rear (done!!) <----rear wheels are flush with fender, no rubbing!
-OEM front aero lip (being painted)
-OEM M3 rear lip (shipping)
-OEM aluminum pedals/dead pedal(shipping)

I would like to give a big thanks to everyone here on e90post for keeping me sane thru the grueling months of waiting. You guys have been awesome and a great help!! Oh and everyone in the GTA, call up big man PICUS for all your detailing needs, the guy is the mighty "god-of-detailing"---> GOD!! http://****************/




-->more pics to come!! when i have everything on!!!!!

Here are the pics RMP Motors took when they did the suspension install:
(koni yellow sport springs and H&r sport installed only, still gotta post pics with the flush to fender 15m rear spacers)




*there is Rocco and Mark doing the installation*


Got my H&R springs and koni yellow shocks installed today at RMP motors! Awesome service, awesome people, i highly recommend them! It was quite a drive from markham to where they were in bolton, but it was definitely worth it & they exceeded all my expectations!
Contact Rocco at RMP motors for all your bimmer tuner needs! They also do work on a lot of high end cars, holy cow!! Visit http://www.rmpmotors.com/ for more into. Thank you Picus for your recommendation!! http://****************/










**For all those who are looking for kickass Japaneses food in Downtown Toronto, go visit my brother's new restaurant!!! woohoooooo : )



"Real Japanese arrives in TO!!"
The Globe and Mail, Saturday June, 2008

"Manpuku proves a Japanese restaurant can thrive without Sushi!!"
Now Magazine: food & drink July 3-8, 2008

If your experience of Japanese food has only been limited to sushi, you're missing out on a whole world of flavours. As one of Toronto's only non-sushi Japanese restaurants, Manpuku aims to give people an authentic Japanese experience. Importing specialized machines from Japan, Manpuku serves its customers authentic udon noodle bowls, beef rice bowls (Yoshinoya-style), and takoyaki dishes.

Located inside the Village by the Grange, Manpuku is an enclosed restaurant that can be accessed through both the McCaul St. Entrances and the main Dundas entrance. Next to the OCAD and AGO buildings, it is easy to find and conveniently located.

Manpuku Hours
Mon - Wed 10-8 pm
Thurs - Fri 10 - 11
Sat 11 - 11
Sunday - By appointment

LLBO: Japanese imports and domestic





I will post more pics very soon, so stay tuned!, i apologize for the wait, my camera is with my gf, and shes in hk : (

i saw saddle brown and the gray poplar wood trim, very classy/powerful colour combo and yet sporty imo. I also like the black and red leather, but ended up with this combo. i just fell in love with the colour i guess : ) lol

i dropped by the dealer today and noticed a chip on the door. yikes! I notified them, and they said they will fix it before delivery. Anyone know how they would do it? A paint repair brush pen perhaps?, then clear coat pen? or fill, sand and respray paint? Anyone know, i hope they do a good job, because the clean lines of the 3 coupe would really show imperfections! Most importantly, i would not like to wait another day! : )

Hey all!,
i just picked up my vehicle, and YES i am excited. They fixed up the chip on the door, exceptional job, its like it never happened. The chip was to the paint and at least 1 cm long. Its gone now, its like a new door! I will be going to pick up my koni yellows tomorrow, clearing customs myself near the airport. Gonna take my springs along and get them installed, then perhaps arrange an appointment for alignment.

I will post pics soon!

Oh, and i had my koni yellow sport set at the half way point between soft and hard, front and rear. The ride quality is amazing, reduced body roll, cornering is like hot knife in butter : ) Just wanted to let everybody know, for those who plan on koni's : )
