E90 Complete Build From Scratch
Hi Guys,
I am new here and wanted to share my E90 project car with you guys. I will upload the picture where everything started. If you guys are interested I could post step by step pictures of this project. The project is still in progress. Car Details: E90 2007 - N52 330i |

I'm sure that'd be really cool to see. Is that a slick roof? And wasn't the 330i only a 2006 model?
What are your plans for it? Just to restore it to like-new condition, or are you planning some serious upgrades along the way? |

I promised myself to renew everything - so I ordered everything you could imagine this car has new from BMW Germany. So far we ordered a complete new N52 engine from BMW, got a full LCI conversion on the outside, got a special verde ermes painting, black package on the outside, got M3 wheels, bought every damn plastic part new (from small pins to big parts), complete interior (even dashboard) got real nappa leather with alcantara and so on, car got front Recaro seats customized in white nappa leather and much more... Since the car was a "low-option" car, we even changed the front windshield for retrofitting the rain and light sensor. About the technical parts and retrofitting the options I wanted to get some information in this forum, because I am thinking about an ESS supercharger and still don't know which exhaust system to get and which retrofit options are useful I can provide pictures from every step if you guys are interested and share what you what's happening every week! BTW I attached a more updated picture of this project. Last edited by sam_ssr; 12-01-2021 at 06:55 PM.. |

Thank you for your nice replies! That's giving me the right positive attitude
Here is a picture before mounting the rear M-Tech bumper - as you can see everything from screws, wiring, mounting parts and carrier got renewed |

Getting the complete interior wiring done. Since the car is 14 years old, we had to renew some wiring parts and added additional wiring set for the Gladen Extreme Audio System.

Not trying to be an ass...
But why? It's an un-rare, mass-produced BMW E90. While your labor is theoretically free, the car will never be worth the cost you are undertaking. There is no more of an E90 lover than me on the planet, but man...

With the money invested in this project, I could easily afford a brand new BMW, but building my own brand new BMW is something else and customize it as I want. And I think that feeling you get when you build something from scratch is really something special. Last edited by sam_ssr; 12-05-2021 at 02:20 PM.. |
