Nothing special just MonacoblueE90
Here is my Bmw 320d. Year2007 ,but first registration year wasnīt until 2009.The previous owner brought the car to Finland from Latvia. Where it was never used for 2 years.
Somebody in Latvia ordered the car ,but never bought it. I think it never left from the German factory. Now it has 46000km (28K miles) on odometer. Im not going list all the things it got, but here is some of the equipment ALARM SYSTEM THROUGH-LOAD SYSTEM SEAT HEATING F DRIVER/FRONT PASSENGER PARK DISTANCE CONTROL (PDC) Rear only RADIO BMW PROFESSIONAL HIFI LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM INDIVIDUAL SUN PROTECTION GLAZING INDIVIDUAL ROOF-LINING ANTHRACITE ADVANTAGE PACKAGE COMFORT PACKAGE COLD CLIMATE VERSION Engine 2.0L diesel with 120kw (163hp) Colour MONACOBLAU METALLIC Upholstery STOFF/LEDER CITRUS/ANTHRAZIT MANUAL Gearbox Here is the car when i bought it about year ago. It already had HR lowering springs 35mm front and 20mm rear. I think its the same as HR Sport. What i changed Took away 320d logo. Tinted/smoked reverse lights, side markers and foglights. 10w led angel eyes Painted exhaust tip to black Hamann-style replica front lip. Performance kidneys. Wheels for summer Apex arc-8 Front 18x9.5 et35 with 235/40/18 Hankook ventus v12 Rear 18x9.5 et22 with 235/40/18 Hankook ventus v12 For winter i have 17x8 et20 style 122 allround with Nokia Hakkapeliitta 4 225/45/17. Here is the pictures how it looks now. For now its ready.I coulnīt deside what pictures to load so i put all that i liked. I have some close up pictures about mods i did, if someone wants to see.I will upload. Last edited by MonacoBlueE90; 09-23-2012 at 09:00 AM.. Reason: Had to upload pictures to other website. |

Thank you. It took whole last winter to deside what wheels i want.Then i waited for 3.5 months to get them.I didn't got them until as the beginning of June. First those where out of stock and then the trip to here took a long time.It was awful because i had to drive with my winter tyres so long
Thank you. |

I believe the background. My car was a dealership demo, which was basically never used in 2009-2010 (it had 10000km when it was sold in 2010 March!) due to much same reasons: massive recession in Baltics. Currently I have 40000km. On a 2007.
In Latvia they had the mother of recessions, with GDP down 30% or so (peak to trough). So most likely someone bought and said no thanks, my construction business went belly up and you can keep the car. Lot of finns swooped in and bought these at bargain prices (say 12000 EUR for 18000 EUR) I'm sure it didn't cost you much, so you got very good base to mod it. Looks like you had a good start already. PS: a while back I asked on this forum if the 122s would fit on E90 without causing issues, and you actually have them on. Do you have few pics in winter mode? Very curious to see how it came out, as I never got them myself.

Someone bought it and drove like 2 years and 32000km with it.Previous owner changed it to Volvo. I bought it from Volvo-dealership at 2011 and even they thought it was 2009,because documents say that it is. It causes sometimes problems if ordering parts with licence plate number,because it gives wrong part numbers. Quote:
Well it wasnīt really that cheap for me, but 2007 with 32000km when other 2007 models where driven like 60000km. It was very good shape and had xenons etc. Also real facelift 2009 where like 10 000 more to price tag. Quote:
Maybe i should test fit those to otherside, before winter really comes and take a picture. I might just do that soon. Im on vacation right now so i have time. There shouldnīt be any problems with 17x8 et20 with 225/45/17. Only thing i needed was 74.1->72.6 hubcentric rings. |

Yeah it has so many different shades depending on the ligth. Many people think it is black and wont even believe if i say its blue. Thank you. Yeah, i want some rubber around my wheels, but its not really that meaty setup.Most people will say its stretched look. |

Your car looks fantastic, nice work with the subtle mods - that's all it really needs, honestly.
Heh - every time I see a European BMW, I notice the split armrest in front. I had to mod that into my car. Great upgrade. Why it's not standard on U.S. cars is beyond me.

I have done a few mods since that pic.
Grills have been wrapped in Gloss Black to go with the roof. Smoked Blacklines installed, indicators (turn signals) have been wrapped with LaminX and fog lights have also been wrapped in LaminX. Will try and post updated pics this weekend after a good wash |
