I'm a huge fan of the oem emblem so imo don't change it. What about a front lip for the next mod? Hammond cf lip or m aero lip.

[SaM335ic]

I'm debating between getting a M package or getting a lip kit for the front bumper, All falls on the deals I can find.

[DC_Oldboy]

Get M Sport first and some new wheels!

[SaM335ic]

Leaning toward the M kit with carbon lip, after that thinking some BBS? Ether black with red trim or gun metal?

Make this happen!

[SaM335ic]

Planning on it, probably be a minute tell I can get some high end rims. All about having that extra money. You guys know much about getting sponsors?

Not now that the new shapes came out. Our cars are old and "not worth their investment"

But it isn't impossible just rare

[SaM335ic]

True that the e90's are "outdated" just curious about sponsors if they are worth the effort to try to get.

Welcome!!! I was Army back in 89-96. Didn't see any action other than being stuck in Korea for almost two years.

I have the same car, but in Montigo Blue. I started the Alpina transmission flash for the AT cars in North America after Tomaz from Russia posted the assembly number online as some in Europe were taking cars to Alpina shops to have the flash done. Probably the best upgrade you can do as it changes the driving dynamics of the AT cars for the better... I also to custom flash tuning and some coding. I understand your situation and I'm always willing to help a brother in need. If you want to road trip and visit Portland, I would be happy to hook you up.

Let me know if you make it down this way. You can always contact me via email at WedgePerformance at Gmail... There will always be a cold beer waiting for you to show up.

[SaM335ic]

Any reason to take a road trip. Haven't been to Portland in a minute. When I see if this possible government shut down affects me or not, I will defiantly contact you. Iv been considering tuning but only looked into the Dinan tuning at the dealer.

i'd say drop first, then kit or wheels next.

i dabble in some automotive photography here and there. i either use it for companies who use the images in catalogs and websites, or for personal owners looking for semi sponsorships.

although our cars may be "outdated", our style cars are out there more than ever, so if they have parts that fit it, they're almost always open to offer semi sponsorships as long as they come with a full photoshoot spread and some sort of thread or page to promote their parts.

on the flip side. 99.9% of aftermarket manufacturers or distributors work with cars that are already fairly modded, with clean reputable parts installed. most will ask for shots i've snapped with a modlist to accompany the shots.

its one of those "pay to play" sort of deals. drop loads of cash on modding, then the distributors/manufacturers will add on to your modded setup. hope that helps bud

[SaM335ic]

Thanks for the info. After talking to some people my plan is to go with M3 or M sport body kit. ( stock bumpers are just not that attractive, they need to go). then Rims then lower it. from there, I'm thinking about sponsors for performance mods such as exhaust, headers, injections.... the pricier stuff. I got the time for photo shoots and advertising it so that's no problem.

[aaron335]

Sweet car bro! I also have a sapp black e92 335 coupe, I hated the stock front bumper so ended up buying a **********s M3 rep front bumper then got the m3 rep front lip. Looks a ton better IMO, I would suggest you lowering your car maybe on springs $200 or so and plasti dipping the wheels which is very cheap and saving for some rims.

[SaM335ic]

Yeah, I'm now set on M3 rep bumpers with carbon lips. Got put on a little hold so it will probably be done in November/ December. I will be looking into lowering here soon. front sits higher then usual. probably hold off on plasti dipping rims idk. I would like to get rims by the end of the year.

[SaM335ic]

Got my M3 replica front bumper in today! can't wait to have it painted and installed after the Holidays. BTW, any one have or know where i can get a V-style lip for the E92 M3 rep front bumper for less then I paid for the bumper? seems outrageous to pay more for it then the bumper is worth?

[DC_Oldboy]

Sam, because carbon fiber. Should've bought one during the Black Friday sale. Too bad my lip can't be use on your bumper. I would've sold you mine.

[SaM335ic]

didn't see any E92 M3 v style lips on sale for black Friday. but also didn't look to hard.

Contact JG mods here on the forum and ask them if they can honor Black Friday sale price.

[SaM335ic]

I asked them if they had the lip for e92. They don't have any. They still have the e90 for a great price. Trying to find the e92 v style lip for that price would be great!

[SaM335ic]

thinking about wrapping my interior trim with carbon fiber vinyl. whats your guys opinion on dark red cf with my black interior? would it be to tacky? trying to make this car my own but still prefer a opinion.

[Fooske22]

I'm located in Oak Harbor, got a 2007 335i E90. We should all meet up and bullshit about our cars lol
