'06 Monaco Blue 330i/6speed sport/premium/nav bought it last October. Has just over 72k miles. Coilovers are in the mail and wheels as soon as I decide which I want:

Welcome to the 330 club. Happy modding!

mbanks21 · 02-23-2014, 05:28 PM

Thanks guys. This is my 8th BMW. I've had E36 M3s, E30, E46, and now this. I bought ST coilovers from a member here hopefully I'll get them this week. I'm also looking at Forgestar wheels hopefully in time for summer

Mike. · 02-23-2014, 05:39 PM

jsmit4214 · 02-23-2014, 06:13 PM

^^Love the 162's also. Don't rush picking out your wheels because those are beautiful as is.

Nice Drop!

Underground6t9 · 03-28-2014, 10:43 AM

330's are going for cheap.

E93FTW · 03-28-2014, 11:18 AM

Looking good! Congrats!

mbanks21 · 08-09-2014, 06:12 PM

Took some new shots:

LCI Front conversion is next. Got the hood and grills, deciding on bumper.

ethanjoon · 08-09-2014, 06:19 PM

Damnn that looks great. Are those Varrstoen ES7's? Not something you see every day on an e90. Awesome dude

Thanks man. They are reps and I know I'll get shit for them but I really do plan on getting better wheels (probably F14s) by the end of the year. They're ESM wheels. Got a hell of a deal and thought I'd try them out.

Alen E90 · 08-09-2014, 06:45 PM

Why get shit for them? To each their own Lol. They look great.
Btw, I like your M3 rear conversion. Was it difficult/ expensive getting a quad setup on the 330? I wanna look into one (not an M3 look though)

Yes, they are. I picked mine up a couple months ago for $8k

Came with 2 sets of wheels and tires too. And was owned by a BMW technician

Eat.Sleep.Race · 08-09-2014, 07:55 PM

welcome!!!

troy2003 · 08-10-2014, 09:07 AM

Very clean man. I think a tad more agressive wheel would be perfection but still very nice. Shadowline trim the chrome MEOW!!!, lol would flow great into the blue.

MonacoBlueE90 · 08-10-2014, 09:28 AM

Looking nice

I really like the rear. Blackline tails would make it much better and csl trunk

. What specs your wheels have? Also really nice color

and i hope it will be lci M-sport.

I was actually talking to MonacoBlue about more aggressive wheels, 9.5 front and 11 rear but these were headache enough. Getting rid of the chrome trim is actually a top priority for me, I hate it!
