A few introductory snow pictures for your viewing pleasure...sorry they're rather large and only cellphone quality.

I'm new to the BMW scene. I'm glad there is a Utah chat.

Just wondering what everyone's first mod was. I just got my 07 328i in October, (first BMW) and I love it. I am looking at getting some matte or CF kidney grills. New wheels in the Spring.

I'm looking forward to chatting with you all.

Welcome to the club! I would go with black grilles not CF but the choice is yours! How is the e90 doing in the snow?

It's a lot better than I expected. I put some snow tires on and it's been great so far. I haven't driven it in heavy snow yet but so far so good.

Blacklines are a personal favorite along with the Black Performance Grills

Welcome!

And despite the efforts of many in this thread, I don't have any mods.

Yup, I'm boring that way.

Welcome. The normal mods most of us sedan owners have (sorry scott

) are BMW Performance grilles, and blackline taillights. In fact, those are my two mods.

I agree...cept have a painted grill. Think the ///M3 lip spoiler is the next...springs/sussy...wheels...steering wheel...perf. shifter...

I better stop...could go on all day.

It's a rental, don't be gentle. Our motto in South Africa, where you can go wheelin' on about any road that's not an "interstate".

Black lines were my first cosmetic mod. Then weighted shift knob, sunglass tray, PIAA angel eyes, euro fog switch, ProCede, wheels, wheels and more wheels, LED all 'round, tint, catch can,....sheesh, I forget. I'm on my second E9x. So far just angel eyes and painted reflectors.

yeah, but the CF rear diffuser looks pretty good on the e92 ///M3, I may do that. Will be doing the sunglass tray at some point, as well as the aFe drop-in filter to replace the stock AF after break-in. I'm sure this bimmer will be modded a lot less than my old one.

Oh, I did the City Vision Lighting angel eyes and the V1 hardwire on this car too. And tint. And....ok, that's all so far.

Don't forget the pedals!

TurboFan · 12-05-2010, 01:11 AM

Oh yeah, ///M aluminum pedals.

SLCGoonski · 12-05-2010, 09:00 AM

I need to do V1 hardwire, tint windows, black grills, black side markers, black hood vents, I want to do aFe but damn that is expensive. I better stop before Lindsay finds out...LOL

I've looked at these for my mac...but since I'm apple dumb (no iPhone, touch, etc), not sure it'd be much of a benefit.
