BMW Website Video LCI E90

GDR · 11-05-2008, 08:53 AM

I came across this video on the BMW website, it's an intro to the performance accesorie page. It shows the LCI E90 with wheels and rear M-Tech diffuser I haven't seen before and it looks great.

Wow, great find.

Looks like a new front and sideskirt. Not sure if the whole rear is new or just a new diffuser.

atl_1M · 11-05-2008, 10:23 AM

Holy crap!! what a teaser! Anyone else think those are some of the nicest rims BMW has ever made? Still unsure about the kit, as I think the M-tech may look better, but those wheels are ridiculous

mtechnik3 · 11-05-2008, 10:47 AM

That's what I'm talking about!! Front apron looks sort of like the 1 series Tii. Nice find.

Park2670 · 11-05-2008, 12:15 PM

HOT DAMN! That thing looks SICK! I love it!!!

im spencer · 11-05-2008, 12:34 PM

Oh wow... these wheels do look good! And the LCI rear is certainly growing on me

Froze the frame for people to get a better look at the wheels.

atl_1M · 11-05-2008, 01:13 PM

Rims look good, but you have to have a BBK underneath or it'll look weird. Or are the stock brakes large enough now?

Park2670 · 11-05-2008, 01:33 PM

I think they look great! Im so excited to see the rest of this

remmib · 11-05-2008, 04:18 PM

LOL, I didn't notis the new wheels first time I saw it. Very nice.

MontegoblueE92 · 11-05-2008, 10:45 PM

Those wheels are sexy. I wonder when they're coming out.

Hula-Hula · 11-06-2008, 06:49 AM

AWESOME wheels...

great find, thanx man!

zimzimma · 11-06-2008, 08:41 AM

thanks

E91_E88_E21 · 11-06-2008, 09:49 AM

i like the wheels, wonder if there came out more??

BMWI6 · 11-06-2008, 10:02 AM

so fucking sick!!!!!!!!!! this is what BMW is about..... thats what im talking about.... finally we get to really experience BMW almost like the Europeans do with their m-kits and such.

BMWI6 · 11-06-2008, 10:02 AM

and those rims are officially my favorite rims ever

Imola.ZHP · 11-06-2008, 10:09 AM

Those wheels look like a slightly larger (19"?) and polished version of the Canadian 135i Sport wheels...

Yes, very nice!

eek!

KL2DC · 11-06-2008, 10:20 AM

Rear bumper (and apron) and trunk lid spoiler looks a bit off (and busy) - think E92 aero kit rear and trunk lid wing.

The front looks promising (addressing some criticism over the LCI's bland M-tech front), so do the wheels

It looks like the most ideal setup (for the E90 LCI) will be the performance front bumper and wheels and M-Tech side skirts and rear.

Looks like its going to be a full bumper/side skirts replacement (just like on the 1 series).

GR8TNESS · 11-06-2008, 10:34 AM

Sick!!

Actually they remind me a lot more of the old M-Parallel spoke 37 (E38 7 series wheels, also known as the "James Bond" wheels) but without the lip...

chanceparker · 11-06-2008, 11:43 AM

Agree, they remind me of the James Bond wheels (officially named Parallels I think).

I have always really liked that style, even posted a photoshop request to put them on an E90 but never got anything back.

FYI for anyone that likes that style, I think you could construct a set of staggered 18' reps for an E90 by using E46 application 18X8s for the front (35mm backspacing) and E60 application 18X9.5s for the rear (25mm backspacking).

I would really like to see a photoshop of this so if anybody can do it...

Great find. I guess BMW finally realized how big the aftermarket mod market is. Looking forward to it.
