How do folks?!?!

I'm collecting my 2007 320d E90 M Sport next week from the stealers and I can't wait. Hadn't planned on buying a new car, but popped in to have a nosey at Stratstone in Newcastle and spotted the new beauty parked up.

So, its bye bye to the Honda Civic and hello beemer.

Now, whats the best mods to get done, I've already got the bluetooth and 18" rims?

Looks like a great site here, used the civinfo.com one a lot for the Civic and hope to get plenty i tips an tricks here.

Welcome to the forum mate. Your first mod would have to be a re-map. I went to Evolve in Luton but there are plenty to choose from.

Totally transforms the car, I am guessing that you have 163BHP now so it will increase to about 200BHP. Well worth it.

Yeah, 163. Was tempted to get the CIvic remapped up to 190bhp but it was a struggle getting an insurance company to quote. Might wait until the beemer is out of warranty before thinking of remaps, but defo like the sound of 200bhp! :-)

Congrats mate, Get some pics on here once you have picked her up.

Welcome to the mad house

Welcome mate.

I think you'll find blacklines (replacement rear light clusters) are a popular mod as they really improve the look of the back-end. That would get my vote.

I would also vote for a re-map, you will be amazed how quick the 320d becomes with a remap.

Best of luck with the collection, post some pics up when you're the proud owner.
