Japan Rot is the German name for the red. In English or America its just electric red.

As far as the Koni's are concerned, I've been speaking with them directly and have been told that the shocks for the xi are very close to their release date. HOpefully soon because I hate the way the car rides with just the stock shocks and H&R drop.

I ordered the red and white rear emblem but they sent me the size for the front. I'm awaiting the correct size for the rear and everything will be matching!

Thanks for all the comments!

Rock that Rot Drei. =)

I'm in love with mine all over again, as I finally got my Kerscher front bumper installed. looks SOOOO sick.

I'm glad I got to see yours, I've always wondered what the ACS would look like on red, but didn't have the guts (or $$) to try it.

I ordered the ACS kit when it was the only one available or at least the only one that I knew about at the time. It's funny I ordered the ACS peices before I even had the car, about two days after I ordered the car. I knew I wasn't going to be happy with the stock look. The Kerscher front end must look beautiful in red.. Post pics when you can!

wow... that looks pretty good.... haven't seen much red e90's other than ///Matt's

Daily driver... The m5 is horrendous on gas!

uhaulball · 03-12-2007, 10:12 PM

why does ur tint look weird. it has a matrix of circles. not bubbles exactly.

nmulax · 03-12-2007, 10:52 PM

Wow.. the red looks great. Nice car man

Theres no tint on the car. RI and MA are entirely too strict and with a bright red bmw, it draws enough attention as it is..

2009BMW335 · 03-12-2007, 11:11 PM

damn how about some pics of the M5

ALPINE6SPD · 03-13-2007, 09:55 AM

that mau be the best RED e90 on the board. I think it would look awesome with flat or glossy black grills to match the rims. Maybe also tint the amber in the headlight. But the cars looks great. The ACS rear on RED looks SICK.

I will be purchasing the tinted vinyl amber overlay very shortly, I just haven't had the time. As far as the grills are concerned.. I've thought about it with gloss black, flat black wouldn't look good because nothing else on the car is flat black. I may experiment with the gloss black grilles this summer.
Thanks for all the kind words.. Hey maybe my red e90 will get e90 of the month at some point hahaha!

alx4n · 03-13-2007, 08:20 PM

amazing ride, ACS looks flawless on that thing, wheels look great.

I would get red bumper plugs!
