Morning Gents,

Fairly new to the forum but i just thought i would post up a Build Thread of my 1st E90. I purchased the vehicle last september in exchange for my E92 320i which i had constant problems with as you will all know of! This particular one is of the '330d M-Sport Saloon' flavour and its an absolute dream to drive!

She started off fairly standard apart from the 19'' CSl reps which i transferred from the E92. The only modification since then is some black grills as replacement for the standard chrome ones.

The alloys are looking fairly tired now but i cant afford replacements so a wheel refurbishment will be in order, they are currently Matt Anthracite, any ideas/recommendations on a new colour?

Heres some pictures i took yesterday after a hefty clean, please excuse phone pics!

lovely car mate! very clean indeed!

i think the colour of the wheels suit it so id be inclined to get it done in the same colour again! not a huge fan of black wheels as an option....

hyper silver always provides a nice contrast on darker cars!...but id say keep it the same colour

[$pringy]

Very NIce

Very nice car mate.

I think the colour of the wheels really suit the car. So my vote is to keep the same colour.

Great looking car .

Is it Space Grey?? as others have said the wheel colour goes well at the moment. If anything maybe go a couple of shades darker. Dare i say it go for the "Black Wheels"

[philmots]

I was going to say what colour is that? It must be individual as I've not seen another the same...

Re the alloys, I'd do them a factory silver.

Great car, great colour, keep the wheels the same, it just looks as it should

Thanks for the kind comments guys

The wheel situation may have changed, it looks like it could cost me nearly the same amount (with PX) for a set of new wheels, i think if i changed then i would choose the Zito 935 but i would be in the same dilemma with them, Silver or gloss black?!

The colour of the vehicle is Messing Metallic and yes i do believe its an Individual Colour.

[lolololol]

Wheels shoudl be Hyper Silver in my view.

Then again I do have a sparkling Graphite E92 with Hyper Silver 710's ;-)

+1 for keeping the same colour, I think it looks great as is.

[1sh@Crystalwhite]

Very nice car/good alloys refurb could be £400,for 500-550 you can get new replicas from ********. Go for silver wheels imo

The colour looks amazing green/grey/brown, in Google images nearly every shot looks a different colour https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=me...w=1366&bih=667

Gents,

Ive found some new wheels which come in 8.5 x 19 for the front and 9.5 x 19 for the rears. I will be using my current tyres which i believe are the stock size.

Ive been told by the retailler that they are ET45, will these fit my E90?

Many Thanks,

Adi.

Rear et30 is best for pre lci imo .

[HippieBeatz]

Messing Metallic

[Alex.J]

Beautiful!

I love that colour, seriously special!

Keep the wheels the same colour if your keeping them..

[Josh1a1h]

WOW What a colour!!!!

[v4hda]

What a colour! Do you know how many they made. I am LMB at the moment but would love this colour. Our company car park is full of grey /black audi's and BMW atm.
