*** 335i E90 LCI featured in BMWCar magazine / February 2013 (Alpina_B3_Lux) ***
--- I would like to post this in the UK section as well (in addition to the general section of the forum) as it's a UK magazine and I'm sure my UK friends would like to know about this... ----
Dear fellow BMW enthusiasts, With some pride I would like to let you know that my car has been featured in the UK car magazine "BMWCar" (click here for their website and here for mor details about the present issue) in its most recent issue of February 2013 which has just hit the newsstands today. It's an extensive article over 5 entire pages, covering the extensive modifications that I have made in the past few years to it. The photos have been taken in front of the Luxembourg concert hall ("Philharmonie") which is a beautiful modern building that has been inaugurated in 2005. I think it contrasts very well with the dark colour of the car, but judge for yourself. BMWCar has authorised me to publish the article on internet forums; you can find it below. In case you would like to acquire the original magazine, you can either order it in paper format (for this, go to this website - the price is 5 GBP) or in electronic format (for this, go to this website, the price is GBP 3,99). I would like to take this opportunity to thank my good friend and outstanding photographer Ant Pearson (here is his website with more first-rate photos of his) for the fantastic photos he took and the great collaboration with him on this matter, as well as all those who have contributed with their knowledge and expertise to my car. In case you would like to know more details about my car beyond what is written in the article, the following link is a good place to start: 335i E90 LCI - Experiences and various modifications. Have fun reading! Alpina_B3_Lux

That was one of the easiest things to do, actually. P3Cars sell them already premounted in the vent, so that it's basically plug&play.

Congrats Marcel, much deserved plaudits for your car. Must be one of the most tastefully and professionally modded E90s in Europe.
