Hello Spring: '09 E90

GChase · 04-21-2013, 03:16 PM

Finally, it's Spring and I have a chance to show off my car

. I borrowed my sister's boyfriend's expensive Nikon DSLR and took some pics down the road from my house. I'm a rookie with them so sorry if the pics are awkwardly taken or whatever, and their size is probably way too big for this site. And yes, I edited out the numbers on my license plate; I don't have a blank one, lol. Any comments are appreciated!

Nice pics and car

Taran.J · 04-21-2013, 03:30 PM

Needs the usual...wheels, drop, reflector to body color, front and rear bumpers. But nice location.

Hartge · 04-21-2013, 03:32 PM

I want wheels but it's out of the budget right now. A drop isn't practical for me, and it's low enough for me anyways. I agree with changing the reflectors, but I just haven't gotten to that yet. I'll change the bumpers if I ever get in a wreck, haha.

Nice ride... love the scenery too.

Alen E90 · 04-21-2013, 03:50 PM

cool pics, and +1 on the color-matched reflectors

Otruba_843 · 04-21-2013, 03:57 PM

Looks nice, but I agree, it needs the usual. You keep your rear view mirror really far to the left.

Kalidian · 04-21-2013, 04:01 PM

Nice. Is everything just stock so far?

kdbryce · 04-21-2013, 04:09 PM

lookin good

I thought you would have at least thrown some black grilles in by now!

Nope, I've done quite a few small things.
-M3 lip
-White angel eyes (cheap eBay ones.. In the future possibly OSS or Lux)
-White cornering bulbs
-White fogs
-Sunglasses holder to replace ashtray
-Repainted front bumper
-K&N air filter
-Ditched run flats last week (best decision ever)
-LED license plate lights
-35% tint from original owner (going to re-do, there's no felt so it's all scratched)

stunna_e92 · 04-21-2013, 04:19 PM

Needs tint atleast

There's 35% on. It was just extremely sunny so it appears as if there's not.

Here you go.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-BMW-...8&cmd=ViewItem

I paid $60 a while back for it, same seller. Paint match is like 96%, virtually no difference, and the material is perfect. It has stayed on perfectly, and I've gotten a few compliments over the past few months.

Yup, 3M double sided tape that matches the length of the lip perfectly, instructions, and stuff to remove it with if you choose. Crazy fast shipping too. I got it in 3 days (from Taiwan!)

Catalina Wine Mixer · 04-22-2013, 09:32 PM

long time no see looks clean !!!! p.s. go wildcats!!!

chris b. · 04-22-2013, 09:44 PM

ummm. 328i badge wayyy too far off. remove or fix asap!

- check for paint in the area of the trunk and make sure its sealed!
- check for any water leak by the battery(p/s) or amplifier(d/s, if you have one)

good luck!

Wow I've had this car for 10 months and honestly never noticed the misplaced badge. It was like that when I got it. I'll fix it when I get some time.
