New Upgrades
What's up guys!
Just got finished with upgrading my car a bit from the guys at European Auto Source. First of all, I have to say Kevin and the rest of the guys there were really chill and great with helping me find what I want for my car. They took the time to actually ask and figure out what I wanted and also gave me input and their opinions on all the parts. Just all around great service. I got a few upgrades from Macht-Schnell. (pulleys, race x-pipe, wheel spacers, Stage-2 Intake). 6000k Angel eyes and black gloss grill and side markers. Also Swift Sport Springs I am still deciding on whether or not to get the ESS tune on my car and also trying to choose a set of rims. I also am looking into cosmetic parts such as trunk, either splitter or bumper and rear diffuser. Also maybe some interior stuff. **Update (10/18/14)**: Got 18 inch TE37SL Black Edition rims with Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires. Running 255 fronts and 275 rears. Going to take off the spacers soon. Also got on the Arkym Carbon Fiber lip and also a BMW M performance spoiler. Going to Race Precision Motorsports in Van Nuys to get the BPM tune, remove my wheel spacers and get smaller ones, new locking bolts/nuts, OSS lights. Will post pics soon. **Update (11/4/14)** http://raceprecisionmotorsport.com/b...ded-correction Jeff

why are EAS reviews so bipolar? I've heard some great things, and awful things...Yelp, for example, overall good rating, but some reviews are horrific, especially regarding their business practice?

Just got the BPM Engine and DCT tune. Honestly, changed the car in a very good way. Opens up the car a lot more and feels so good.

I'm beginning to think EAS business practice is lacking in a BIG way. I personally will not be doing any business with them.

I'm interested to read your reviews on the Swift Sport Springs if any! Did you put front and rear? Did you ever considered the KW Sleeve Kit?

BPM is honestly just incredible. I did a bit of research on several different tunes such as Dinan, ESS, Accessport, and also BPM. My friend introduced me to another forum member with the BPM tune and he convinced me to get it. Met up with Mike yesterday and got it done in under an hour. He told me he sold his F80 M3 because he wasn't having as much fun as he was owning a E90. The guy really knows how to tune a car.

To be honest, me too. EAS is the closest to my house but I would rather spend the extra gas money and get better care for my car.

I have only had these springs for a month but I plan on pushing my car a bit more and getting it dialed in to my driving style so I am considering getting a full KW V3 kit. I hope this review helped a bit. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

Without a tune though, it kind of sounded muffled or stuffed up a bit. The back fires and the gear changes make it sound really nice though. Like it feels like the exhaust isn't able to push out all of the gas. But after getting the tune, the exhaust just sounds a lot better because it kind of cleared up. I would suggest, if getting the Macht-Schnell race pipe, that you also get a tune and I would specifically suggest the BPM tune. Just my opinion I will try to get some more sound clips in and also probably a fly-by in the near future.

Thanks! Still thinking about whether or not to get them yet. Kind of pricey but I know it will look real nice. Still thinking about getting KW V3 kit and also Brembo Big Brake Kit.
