My Alpine White E90 LCI Progress
OK so I have been a long time lurker on here looking for inspiration, a few may know me from M3cutters where I have owned & sold a couple of M3 Convertibles
1st was a Avus Blue SMG, grey leather, 19" 359 wheels from CM Wheels, lowered on Apex springs, depos etc It did start to look a bit more OEM by the time I was finished with it 2nd was Estoril Blue manual with black heated leather, shadow chrome OEM wheels Loved that one & still miss it but was made a good offer by a fellow forum member with the clause I got first refusal if he sells!, anyway I let them go due to lack of use as I have a daily so the M3 would spend weeks on end parked up in the garage & SORN over the winter So now no longer having my M3 to mess around with I have turned my attentions to my gf's daily a 2012 E90 LCI M-Sport, here she is after a good polish & wax I have had the car a while but had some time free today so thought I would start one of these threads, I have done them in the past on M3cutters etc Last edited by JM85; 02-09-2016 at 02:11 PM.. |

Angel Eyes
So first thing I did was upgrade the Angel Eye's, I used Horizon LED's as they had a good reputation on here & they also came with a year warranty just in case
Zaine was very helpful & talked me through what I needed as also ordered some LED DRL's for my daily & a HID kit for a mate's Corsa while I was on They look like they have a greenish tint on the photos but they don't look like that in the flesh, must be my iPhone camera Last edited by JM85; 12-24-2014 at 04:27 AM.. |

Got a few more bits to update on here just uploading the photos to Photobucket atm
Big plans for the New Year are wheels, looking at 313's or some VMR's, Black grills maybe Thanks for the kind comments, the Estoril Blue one was a great car just a shame I didn't use them I didn't get on with the SMG in the first, would have another in a heartbeat, maybe Silver Grey with Red Leather Last edited by JM85; 01-15-2016 at 08:53 AM.. |

Window Tints
So something I have been meaning to do for ages was sort out some window tints, I wanted to be careful not to go too dark so they looked OEM so I took my daily F30 with the White E90 & the guys at Custom Tint put their tint measuring device thingy on my OEM tinted windows to get a reading so they could match it on the E90
Looking at them now I am not sure if they are darker than you normally see on the E90 but as I said above they were matched to my F30 OEM tints Comments welcome Last edited by JM85; 01-15-2016 at 08:57 AM.. |

One side above is before, one is after but you can't really tell as its up in the air.
I'll take a photo in the morning, went with 15mm on rear but as they are thin wheels it could probably do with 20mm on rear & the 15's on the front, Tyres are 225,45,17 Continental winter contact can't recommend them highly enough had some Wanli's last year & they were shocking in the wet!!! Hoping to use the 15's on the rear MV3's in the summer |

Looks wicked!
Do you like your wide exhaust or would you change to a double-tip one like the (?) 330d you pictured? I have a 320d but changed it to a double tip purely for aesthetics... but I've debadged (also for aesthetics) and worry BMW people will think I'm a 330d-wannabe! |

M3 style lip spoiler came from here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/emotors200...1&_ipg=&_from= As mentioned the fit & colour match look good, shipping was 5 days, apparently cheaper if you buy via eBay.com |
