Pic's of my e90 LCI - Sport....Euro M-Sport to follow

Here are a few pics of my 2011 e90 lci.

My car is in the shop at the moment having the complete Euro OEM M-Sport retrofit kit installed. Will post up some "after" pics in a couple of weeks when I get her back.

Cheers,

Killer combo! (I'm biassed, excuse my English please) 4 years aprox. in this forum and have not seen it!


Suggestions: take the tints off. The color combo is a german classic! Have fun and rock it! Maybe some springs, reflector delete, spacers, mtech bumper and a lip spoiler. That said, beautiful as is!!!! Congrats!

The BMW colour name is Dakota.

I really like the pic of your car. Once I get mine back from the body shop with the new Euro M-Sport kit, I will post a few of mine.

Cheers,

You think I should take the tint off? Interesting, I will give that some thought actually. The car is at the body shop as we speak. I ordered the OEM Euro M-Tech retrofit kit. This will replace the front, side and rear of the car. The beauty of the European M-Tech is that their front bumpers do not have those butt ugly side reflectors!

I have put on spacers since these pics were taken. 15mm on the backs and 12mm on the front with the stock, staggered 18 wheel set up for now. When these tires go, which may be soon, I will likely replace them with non-RFT's but will likely stay with 18's as I like the clean look of these rims for now.

As for springs, I am undecided on this one. I have heard that springs will lower the car a little further but have issues with ride quality and can prematurely wear the shocks. I was thinking of holding out for KW V1's but since I live in Canada, I am concerned about the winters and the liquid salt they use of the roads now. I was thinking of upgrading the the BMW performance springs. Any thoughts on what to do here?

I will post some "after" pics in a couple of weeks once I get my car back.

Much appreciated.

Great minds think alike! I ordered the BMW Performance short shifter and boot along with the making handbreak last week. Got a great deal on them through a local forum friendly BMW dealership.

I am driving a loaner car. An automatic 328 x drive. It is a nice car but it is killing me. I need my ride back....two weeks to go.......

I absolutely LOVE the way it looks. The overall feel of it + the interior is amazing. The leather is stunning. I keep on going back and forth between getting the lemon or this for mine. Looking forward for your pics with the new kit. Also, think about getting the m-sport shift knob and handbrake and maybe custom make them with leather matching stitching.

Color is Chestnut Brown. Dakota is the type of leather (BMW has different types in different cars).

I have actually ordered both the shift knob and hand brake. I am having the shift boot and hand brake boot custom made in alcantara with thread stitching to make my seats.......hope it turns out the way I envision it! Pics coming soon.

Thanks....for all my fellow yank's, this is what Ontario looks like due to global warming.....

A few months after I bought the car, I took a road trip. Went from Toronto to Miami. Over to Houston. Up to Chicago and back home again. It was a great trip. I took these particular pics in Florida.
