New member. My e91 325i

Yngvejos · 03-18-2012, 04:57 PM

Google always seems to redirect me to this forum when I'm searching for information about E9x, so I finally decided to move in.

I bought my E91 in January to replace my E39 530DAT as a daily driver. It's a 2005 325i with manual transmission. A quite rare combination in Norway where everybody have been tricked into buying diesels with automatic tranny.

This is how it looked like when I bought it:

I planned to keep the car stock and spend my time and money on my E30 project. I stuck to this plan for about two weeks.

I have done the following mods:
Blackline tail lamps.
Blacked out window trim (work in progress).
Removed the 325i badge.
Carbon splitters.
Carbon mirror covers.
Yellow fog light bulbs.
H&R intake filter.
Zito CSL reps 8.5x19 and 9.5x19.
H&R coilovers.

Further plans are to tint the windows, remove the roof rails and maybe install a sport exhaust system.

i love seeing e91's modded

but you should get a mtech rear IMO

Slow_335i · 03-18-2012, 10:42 PM

Good looking car!

Also welcome

sbce90 · 03-18-2012, 11:16 PM

Looks good so far! Let the modding continue with Mtech all around!

E90Mario · 03-18-2012, 11:17 PM

Looks awesome! This is the first time I see a 2005 e9x

Whorning · 03-18-2012, 11:19 PM

niiicee, wagons are the shizz!

E92Carla · 03-19-2012, 12:39 AM

E91's look awesome when done right

looks great

project335i · 03-19-2012, 07:37 AM

Clean change that grill to a matte black one though please

Yngvejos · 03-19-2012, 08:17 AM

Thanks for nice feedback.

sbce90: I really want complete m-sport styling, but I don't want to put that much money into the car. But I'm considering a m-sport rear bumper.

project335i: This car will never see a black grill.

I like to stick with the traditional bmw "face". Chrome kidneys surrounded by four round head lights.

BoogeyMan'sBMW · 03-19-2012, 11:23 AM

looks great SGM ftw!

Doctor///M · 03-19-2012, 11:32 AM

Whoa! You transformed it a lot with those mods! Looks great!!! +1 for the future exhaust mod!

Also, reconsider the the black kidneys since they will complement the shadow line window trim and maintain the stealthy look that you're going for

Since they're relatively inexpensive, you can try it out and see if your mind changes.

Mr Singh · 03-19-2012, 02:05 PM

Car looks great! What offset and tyre sizes?

datbimmerdoe · 03-19-2012, 03:32 PM

super clean e91!

Yngvejos · 03-19-2012, 07:07 PM

Thanks guys.

Mr Singh: The rims are 8.5x19 et35 and 9.5x19 et35. 235/35R19 and 265/35R19.

Yngvejos · 05-22-2012, 05:06 AM

Mod of the day. I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep it or not.
The RPI scoops will be painted black and 2x76mm eisenmann exhaust are on it's way.

h0ffman · 05-22-2012, 05:33 AM

lovely E91. u want to remove the roofrails and i want to put roofrails....

remmib · 05-22-2012, 04:54 PM

The yellow headlight looks weird.

But it'd be much better if you only did the foglights.

Brennan · 05-22-2012, 09:22 PM

nice e91, really dont like the yellow headlights, they dont look right. everything else is good though

Tallest · 05-23-2012, 03:51 AM

what's the point of those scoops? does it help you with performance in any way?

well done on debadging, did this to mine last weekend and it really makes the rear that much smoother looking.

RandyN · 05-23-2012, 05:07 AM

Welcome!

nc1975 · 05-24-2012, 02:16 AM
