04/17/12 Bought the car. Dealership Pics Before any Mods:























04/21/12 After its first wash and some minor mods:

So I picked up my new car thursday of last week and just did a quick wash this morning and thought i'd share some pictures. I have a lot of mods planned and have already done a few things. I have a JB4 and Stett CAI sitting in my closet waiting to go in, but i'm not putting those in for another week or two since i'm still learning stick on the car... I also blacked out the grilles and debadged the xDrive from the side this morning although I may put the xDrive logo back on. Last night i ordered some Lux angel eyes so those should be coming in within the next week or two and I have a few more minor mods that I plan to order soon. I know it needs a drop and painted reflectors bad, but other than that let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

Edit: Forgot to add the front plate will also be going soon, i just need to get some bumper plugs first.











05/06/12 Update:

I got most of my first few mods finished up this week and I have a few more to come. Next weekend I should have the new shift knob and the windows tinted. I think i'm going to do rims next then suspension after that to get rid of the floaty xDrive feeling. I thought the floaty feeling wasn't that bad until last night when I did some highway runs against my friends 335D. Taking even the slightest turn or going over any bump in the 80-110 range was really frightening... Down the road i'll probably do an AE exhaust and some more performance mods but i'm satisfied with the power for now. Here's the mods that have been done so far: Black Grille, Black fins on the front bumper, Lux Angel eyes, Stett CAI, JB4, HPB Interior LED kit, Carbon fiber wrapped interior, ACS Aluminum Pedals, SG reflectors, Short throw clutch stop, CDV mod, and also hardwired my radar detector. Here are the updated pictures after a quick wash today:





















05/27/12 Update:

Alufelgen SF-71's and front splitters were put on. Tires are Hankook Ventus V12 with tire sizes 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

And some with the Lux on (the pictures were taken at weird angles so they weren't as bright as they are in person):



06/10/12 Update:

Just got my windows tinted yesterday from the Tint Man in Monroe, CT. I did 35% on all the sides and 20% on the back window.







07/13/12 Update:

Got a detail and also had the "CRT" style performance spoiler installed. One minor thing installed is the CF roundels.

08/21/12 Update:

While driving my OEM charge pipe broke off and cracked so i had to replace it with the ER. I chose to get the ER with a blue Tial BOV and one meth bung in case i ever decide to add meth. I also just finished installing a M3 wheel i bought from a member yesterday.



















09/02/12 Update:

Got bored today and decided to try plastidipping the lines of the LCI stock rear bumper. The good thing is I can peel it off anytime I want. I do plan on switching to the M sport rear but for now i think this looks decent. Let me know what you think











09/17/12 Update:

Painted brakes black and applied decals. Here's a thread with more pictures: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=746145













09/23/12 just some night pictures:

I swapped out the fogs to GP thunder 7500k a while ago but never really knew how to take pictures at night. I finally learned how to do it and tried some today.

Finally getting a drop . Found a nice set of used KW V1's so now just need to get them installed







1/9/13:

Picked up the car a few days ago after getting some routine maintenance done along with one major and one minor change. Major change is the car is finally lowered on KW V1's . I think i'm going to raise it up a bit in the front since it is rubbing a tiny bit but scraping a lot. I'm also probably going to lower the back a bit. The owner of the shop made the back a bit higher so it would look more aggressive and I love it but when a bit lower will be better. I'm still going to keep it higher than the front but not much. Also keep in mind this drop is on the 17" winter wheels... Should be a lot better once I can get the silver alufelgens back on.

The other mod I did which is minor is I had them tint the sidemarkers and I threw in some LED bulbs. I'll post pictures below of everything including stock bulb vs LED. So far i'm undecided on if I like having the sidemarkers tinted or not... I'd appreciate everyones thoughts since I haven't made up my mind yet. Anyways let me know your thoughts

I also apologize if these pictures aren't the greatest, they were just some quick snaps with an iphone.

After in the shop:

look'n good, keep it up!

We are pretty much twins...I am heading down the same path as you. Havent done any GO mods yet but i have gunmetal F14s ordered and tint coming in a couple weeks. Im lovin the CF Wrap! Did you follow the DIY here for the front fins and 335 badge blackout? Looks awesome so far man!

[nrrm1127]

This is coming along nicely, have to see it in person sometime since I'm not far away!

[psmitty95]

Thanks everyone! Finally decided on rims which will be Alufelgen SF-71's in either silver or gunmetal. Haven't decided on color yet but i'm leaning towards silver since I feel like gunmetal might not have enough contrast.

Edit: Also forgot to add I have some splitter's coming this week so once those are on I may post an update with those and my new knob or wait until I get rims. I'm also waiting to post some night pictures but first I have to figure out how to get some good ones with a dslr... Not really good with dslr's yet...

That's cool and i actually didn't follow the DIY and didn't even know there was one. I've used plasti dip a few times before so I just went out and thought about how to do it then started spraying. For the 335 badge i taped off everything but left around 2 inches around the badge then once i had a good amount of coats i peeled off the extra. I think that's the easiest way to do badges without taking them off the car. For the fins i just taped everything off and did 4 coats then on the last one pulled off all the tape while it was still wet so the tape wouldn't peel the plastidip.

Hahaha yea hopefully sometime soon you can come see it in person. Last month there was a car meet at the place I go get it washed often so if there is another one i'll probably go and maybe i'll see you there.

Looks great. Space grey is one of my favorite colors. The Titanium gunmetal is nearly identical to Space grey so you might want to do Silver if you want some contrast. Looking forward to install pics.

Thanks, it's one of my favorite colors also. I haven't ordered the wheels yet but i've been talking to Brian and hopefully i'll be ordering them in the next few weeks. I'll probably go with silver and I will for sure post install pics.
