"badges"??
You also forgot one of the best of the BMW Performance line..the brakes.

Those brakes are not actually from an E46, they're from a 1er, but I did order the Performance cross drilled floating rotors specific to the 330 and some Hawk HPS pads today.

As for the badges, they're coming up with some stupid shiite to put the Performance name on.

Example: the CF license plate frame - something like $150, not gonna buy that one

yep i had their 330 front rotors. (also sold a set brand new a while ago when i bought the M3 and bought new CSL brakes). didn't know any 330 were around anymore, thought they all sold out just like the CF brace. too bad the rears on the rotors aren't directional or floating hat design.

if you're talking about BMW Performance decals, yes I've seen those.

N89 · 03-21-2012, 05:15 PM

I'm assuming those rotors are front only? Where'd you order from?

Looking good JP

Getting the Performance Cross-Drilled Rotors will also look awesome. Should also get the Performance BBK if you haven't already...

Okay what I have put on my ZHP regarding BMW Performance parts....

BMW Performance rotors (front and rear)

Rears

Front

BMW Performance BBKs

BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Strut Bar

Sorry.....blurry pic

I would love to put CSL brakes on, but for that money and headache I will eventually just buy some Brembo GT's. First I need FI to justify that amount of braking. I also agree that the rears should have been floating, they're only something like .2 lbs lighter than stock vs the fronts are 3.1 lbs lighter.

ECS. They have the front in stock, rears are 1-3 day wait. I should have everything by next Friday (hopefully)

Front: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...ors/ES2228825/

Rear: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...ors/ES2504069/

Charlie, yours looks great too. ECS says the BBK's are backordered at the moment, so that's not going to happen anytime soon. Can't wait to see the pics of the M3 mirrors installed on your car.

I'm curious if anyone knows where I can get a strut brace at a reasonable price? CF one..

I don't have the Performance one any longer. Only CF one we have for the 330i is the ECS one found HERE.

SMUUUUUV · 03-22-2012, 03:04 PM

Almost forgot.... time to order a filter for mine.....

SKIPPY PB · 04-06-2012, 01:54 AM

So who knows where to get a OE performance strut bar? Or who is willing to sell theres.

Hermes · 04-07-2012, 02:07 AM

The aluminum Performance brace is the only one available. It looks like the M3 one but it's not black. To find the CF one you need to look on forums, Craigslist, eBay, etc.

E46Enthusiast20 · 05-22-2012, 11:13 PM

Bumpity Bump.

Anyone know where I can buy the Strut bolt Caps?

I lost them months ago and its on my mind again.

truekreation · 05-23-2012, 07:32 AM

Doing a bumper swap, upgrading to an OEM M-Tech 1 bumper.

E46Enthusiast20 · 06-05-2012, 12:45 PM

Just ordered the caps and some other goodies. Special order though. I have to wait until next Wednesday... :/

jdny516 · 03-10-2013, 09:38 PM

Lucky enough to snag a cf strut brace off these forums. Haven't had a chance to mount it yet. I did install bmw performance shift knob, shift boot, ebrake boot and handle.

Looking for the cf rear diffuser next
