Hi all, recently joined the forum and thought id join the fun and post some pics.

Read loads over the last year on here so cheers to 90% of you who i've taken information off.

My 1st post was about the performance exhaust I bought, which still needs to go on, job for the weekend!

Wheels and grill were both inspired off here obviously

Just cleaned it with Autoglym kit which I got for christmas and thought it came out pretty well. Whether it lasts or not we'll see.

Looks awesome! Did you get those wheels powder coated? If so how much did it cost and what do you think of it?

Cuninho · 03-02-2017, 01:05 PM

Yep, 220 quid it was for the wheels, 19" 442m. They're top notch mate, I use Poorboys sealant on them which i've heard not to and it keeps them fresh as anything.

Cuninho · 03-02-2017, 01:06 PM

Oh they're satin black as well

M3anLantern · 03-02-2017, 01:48 PM

Looks awesome! Was considering doing that when I pick up mine but went for an aftermarket set instead. hopefully it'll be worth it! Enjoy the new car!!

Rbrown · 03-02-2017, 01:54 PM

Great looking car!

Would appreciate to see close up picture of your wheels. They look good!

Yaz_BMW320D · 03-02-2017, 02:10 PM

Cheers for the comments! The black defo is better in light, the curve on the spoke is a lot more noticeable.

Here you go these are pre wash mind lol

I hope it does last because I would say that that is a result!

Now you need to pop across to the right side of the Pennines and put a shine on mine.

Gloss black wheels look great but the downside is that they make your tyres look grey unless you constantly slather them in tyre gel.

Cuninho · 03-02-2017, 03:28 PM

Fingers crossed haha. Yeah that's the worst thing about em, cleaning is easy enough with that poorboys sealant on. Haha took me and 1 other 3 hours to fully do, the autoglym stuff was easy to use especially Polish and gloss.

Welcome to the forum Cuninho.

You've arrived here with a rather tasty looking 4 series. A great looker indeed. Wheels and grill definitely add. Top work.

Is the exhaust the end of the tune? ... or the start?

CazuaLLUK · 03-02-2017, 04:19 PM

Awesome car!

M40CCA · 03-02-2017, 04:22 PM

Very nice

Welcome to the forum

UKF30 · 03-02-2017, 04:28 PM

Very nice looking motor mate

Love the colour , is it MG

Cuninho · 03-03-2017, 01:32 AM

Well I haven't touched the engine yet and my warranty just ended so I'm like see sawing at the minute on what to do tune wise haha. The exhaust will impress me enough I hope lol been reading a bit about downpipes on here also.

Cheers, yeah it's MG mate. Had black sapphire 325i before this and the MG colour is so much better at not looking pig shit dirty 😀

Cuninho · 03-04-2017, 05:38 AM

Few updated pics, took some more of the wheels in the bright sun today so you can see the powdercoated finish in a different light

(Even though its making me thing "Fake M-Sport brakes)

Also, a little bit of beading from the Autoglym Gloss stuff, which considering how easy it went on I didn't expect. Now I just need to dry the buggers up, doesnt seem to run off the car as well as the Bilt Hamber stuff I had previous.

What's the easiest way to remove the BMW wheel cap? I need to straighten mine up with the M logo, its so small yet so annoying haha.
