hmmm....I thought the E90 has the M-Sport kit, but anyway, is not my cup of tea with all those carbon fiber parts.

No, I don't drive to China, but I had to drive Route 3 + Tuen Mun highway quite alot these days.
I don't think it was the M-kit, not sure though it could be. But I've seen the M-kit on the E90 and the one at Ocean Terminal doesn't seems like the M-kit to me. Maybe the carbon fiber is throwing me off

I always feel carbon fiber parts belong to only Jap cars...heh heh. Well, took my car in for warranty renewal and service today finally. HK$17,200 out of pocket...... :'( I asked them to fix the back seat creaking sound and they told me it's very common and they know just where to work on. Thank god I didn't hv to explain too much.

The bodykit is from M Tech as the sale person told me. But the carbon made the E90 look like MK style jap car to me... ...

M3 have carbon fiber hood I think because it is real light plus my friend who own it say the salesman said it is carbon fiber, but I don't trust salesman unless they say they give me a discount

I too have some it it noise when my car go over bumps, is this the same problem as yours?

The bottom line is if the parts is carbon fiber, it have to be painted. Unpainted carbon fiber parts belongs on Jap car driven by MK boys.

I got the same problem too, I think it's happen to all E60... ...

BTW, I thought only M3 CSL and M6 have the carbon fiber hood. Correct me if I am wrong!

I think the M3 CSL in also have the carbon fiber roof and carbon fiber trims for the aero kit in addition to the hood. At least that's the case on my 1:18

Only the front lip is ok, but the show car is like carbon all over the place. Not only the front lip but also the rear wing and the rear lip spoiler are carbon!
