Just got an e90... Any suggestions?
I just got a pre-owned 2009 e90. I wanted to know if there are any decent mods for the car. Here is what it looks like now... I have 5% tint all 5 windows, Black and white emblems. I want to get the gloss black kidney grill and the VMR V710 rims in hyper black. Any other suggestions?

congrats on your new ride.
Black kidneys, wheels, drop (coilovers preferred), Angel eyes (OSS, LS3, LUX, Weisslicht,etc. are options) lci m-sport front bumper, reflector delete, Tune (COBB, JB, Eurocharged, Procede, AA, etc.) , exhaust, msport steering wheel. Shadowline exterior window trim with vinyl to match if you get black wheels (assuming its chrome right now). Those are all options. Happy Modding!

The OSS and LS3 angel eyes are complete headlight modifications, not a bulb. They install new LED rings.
The LUX is an LED bulb type product that will achieve your desired effect, and is what 90% of people on this forum do. Congrats on the new car, and get body color matched reflectors. I would get matte black grills as well. |

The tab on the far right called "LUX E90 LCI Halogen" is the product you want. |

The first mod you should do is do a oil change, BMW's intervals are only to save money. If you plan on keeping it after warranty and longer I would have them pay for one then half way through pay for one myself (DIY). Just saying my dash interval says 19k miles between a change thats nuts.

Are these a direct swap or is some re-wiring required? |

That's up to you to decide, but I think it's a great price point. It's high intensity LED's, not a halogen light bulb, and LUX recently lowered there prices too.
These are a plug and play product. I have not installed these in person myself, but I hear the process is very easy. There shouldn't be any more wiring involved than what is already there. |

A drop and new set of wheels will set you straight. Congrats on the new car!
