Joining the BMW Club. E90

ChrisJ · 05-07-2013, 02:13 AM

I'ts been about 3 weeks since I got my 335i, and I'm loving it. In the short time that it has with me I have blacked out the kidney grills, and installed rear roof spoiler, trunk spoiler and front ones also.
The only thing I'm not liking about it is the chrome rims, but nothing it cant be fixed soon, got some VMR wheels in mind.
Its an automatic, but is not that bad, I want to flash it to the Alpina software.
and get some things coded also.
Seams that a road trip to Seattle to see BIMCoading is due.

Welcome! looks good, VMRs will definitely be an improvement. Happy modding.

alexwhittemore · 05-07-2013, 03:20 AM

Trunk lip looks great.

Did it come with those kiddos?

Alen E90 · 05-07-2013, 03:42 AM

very good-looking 3er, i like the simple/classy look that you gave her

Revlis · 05-07-2013, 05:35 AM

Nice! Though I find the wheels somewhat Suspect...

Looks good in black though, the Offspring seem to approve.

Sweet car, that color is monaco blue right? Where did you get your front lip from?

No, I had them painted where they painted the lip

It is Black.

I got the lips on ebay. They fit pretty good

Bighorns · 05-07-2013, 11:29 AM

Black is the only color that those wheels look good on, so they're livable while you save for replacements. Shadowline trim, and LED Angel Eye bulbs, and this car will look sick!

trk06 · 05-07-2013, 11:43 AM

Welcome and congrats! I would black out the silver trim on the bumper too.

AzureHaze · 05-07-2013, 11:46 AM

Yeah that chrome needs to disappear real quick.

Which VMR wheels did you have in mind?

yagbomb · 05-07-2013, 11:49 AM

I just got the exact car Saturday

Got my SGM 330i last summer and it had chrome 162s. It actually looked good but silver looks so much better.

Good choice. Mine (E90 Jet Black) is wearing a set of VB3 matte black. If you're not trying to go for the black-on-black look, I suggest the gunmetal finish.

marshall834 · 05-07-2013, 02:24 PM

Congrats! But I agree - those wheels are... disgusting...

Gizm0 · 05-07-2013, 02:27 PM

Blacking out the chrome trim around the window trim should also be on your "to do list". Nice pick up.

I was thinking that also, i think it will look very good on gunmetal. Good choice!

I would, if only because you can do it with dip and feel totally free to change your mind and go piano after.
