[Ali-E90]

Hey all,
I thought I would start a build thread for my car, seems like a great way to share the work I’ve done, and plan to do, in one location.

I’d like to start by saying thanks to the community for all the support they’ve already provided, and for any feedback/comments I get on this thread too.

I purchased my 2007 323i E90 Sedan in November 2012. It’s a Canadian model, with the N52 2.5L I-6 engine, rated at 200HP (according to BMW manual). It’s Jet Black, with black leatherette interior, and 6MT. I got a great deal on this car, in exceptional condition with low mileage, so I ended up sacrificing on a few options (base audio, halogen lights with no angel eyes, no sunroof, no cruise control, no heated seats, and a 2.5L instead of a 3.0L engine).

Luckily, the original owner had opted for upgraded 17” wheels, the standard 16” wheels for the 323i are just plain UGLY!!

Here is what the car looked like when I purchased it:

I’ve always been one to mod or customize my cars, and this was no different. I didn’t want to make it too aggressive though, just keep it classy and add a bit of personalization. Also, I’m not huge on performance upgrades (though a little bit of extra power is always nice), so my main focus for this car is cosmetic, sound, and audio.

Below is my mod wish-list, along with those that I’ve already completed. I’ll add new posts for each mod as I complete them, and update the list below.

Feel free to add more mod suggestions for the future, or just share your thoughts/experiences on the ones already listed.

Thanks for reading!!
