07 328xi -Washed finally! First attempt at some pro pics. Opinions welcome!

ssmith96 · 04-01-2013, 01:18 PM

Hey everyone!

We finally had some good whether in NY this weekend so I took the opportunity to clean my car up. Its stock right now, and I think I want to do an LCI front end conversion and some blacklines. Not sure what else, I'm not really into jb4 or stuff like that. Got a chance to go out and try to take some good pics, what do you guys think?

kdbryce · 04-01-2013, 01:33 PM

well i'm no photographer, but i do appreciate photography.

first thing i'd say is, in the first picture, you should have knelt down or sat down to get a better angle on the car

also, your reflection is in one of them

and you can see the license plate in the second to last one

btw, you can't get jb4 for a 328 anyways

lci front end would look great

good luck

wdeerfield · 04-01-2013, 02:16 PM

first tip. dont take pictures in your driveway

second tip. dont stand so close to your car.

third. depth of field.

as for mods, its a 328, cant do juicebox. just do blacklines and get an m3 spoiler. Id look into someone unloading some cheap 17/18 OEM wheels and dump those 16s.

project335i · 04-01-2013, 02:24 PM

You have a 328 you can not do any jb4 or anything like that, you have no turbos. Lol.

With a 328 I would stick to cosmetic mods you won't get much power out of the car anyway. I would suggest LCI msport upgrade front and rear. It will update the car drastically

edirtaynine · 04-01-2013, 02:30 PM

stock base 328 e90... oh boy. pretty much everything can be upgraded lol.

blacklines
stock e90 xenon headlight conversion
lci mtech front bumper and hood
lci front grilles - gloss black
lci mtech rear bumper
new wheels/tires ASAP
drop suspension
sport/mtech steering wheel
sport front seats
BMW Performance exhaust

a looooonng way to go ahhaha

Try some Sonax wheel cleaner. It will definitely help those wheels clean up nicely...

I'm curious what the issue is with this. I have posted pics with my license showing.

Good luck OP with all the mods to come!!

Otruba_843 · 04-01-2013, 07:19 PM

First get gloss black grills. Then save up for some wheels for sure!

AGood22 · 04-01-2013, 07:23 PM

You can do so much to this car! i say rims and a drop is a must!

I think he means the style of the pic, not the fact that its showing, it looks bad with a little bit of the plate in.

it just could have looked better. it's just the top of it.

it's not that the license plate was in it, it's just the way it's in there
