My E92 328i Build Thread

S54PLUS1 · 03-07-2017, 12:05 PM

Here is my space grey 2011 E92 328i 6MT. I've had it for almost 6 months now, and have accumulated a decent amount of modifications, so I decided to start a build thread.

Enjoy!

S54PLUS1 · 03-07-2017, 12:12 PM

Here's how I picked her up from Concord BMW. She had 35k miles on the clock.

S54PLUS1 · 03-07-2017, 12:18 PM

I'll be posting on this forum whenever I get some more parts, but until then, here's how she sits right now!

- Depo clear front reflectors
- Modwerkz carbon fiber trunk spoiler

Loving it. Try blacking out the chrome window trim as well. Any plans for a wheel upgrade?

Thank you! I'll probably keep the chrome window trim so it goes with the polished wheels I'm saving up for.

Would have purchased bumpers and wheels before suspension.

I do plan on getting MSport bumpers in the future, but I don't mind these for now.

Looks good to me. I like the drop. What wheels are you planning on?

Thanks! I was thinking LM reps but I'm starting to think they're a little overdone, so I'm not sure yet. Open to suggestions.

macstoy · 03-09-2017, 11:48 PM

Wheels can be such a subjective choice. Best advice I can give is choose exactly what you like, don't worry about anyone else...

macstoy · 03-09-2017, 11:51 PM

I personally chose APEX Arc 8s with profile 3. I liked the concave look.

mike@x-ph.com · 03-10-2017, 06:09 PM

Looking good

Did you paint the white fins on your front bumper?

I plastidipped them, good eye.

Kwakjoe · 05-01-2017, 02:21 PM

Niceee. I have the same bumper and I'm trying to decide between keeping it and getting a splitter or getting the m tech bumper. Not much options with our bumpers which is a shame.

Yep, I ran into the same problem. I couldn't find any lips for our bumper and the MSport with PDC and headlight washers is hard to find/expensive. Not sure what I'm gonna do with my front end yet.

Yeah I feel your pain. For now I used up my funds on Coilovers and am still in search of a wheel

S54PLUS1 · 05-21-2017, 01:14 AM

I tried something different... plastidipped my wheels white. It's temporary, but I like it for now. Not too in love with plastidip all together so I may end up painting them a different color in the future.

Drifter2090 · 05-22-2017, 11:23 AM

Looking good so far, LM's would be amazing!

S54PLUS1 · 08-01-2017, 05:48 PM

ESR SR05! No more plastidip.

Still need to work on the fitment.
18x8.5 225/40
18x9.5 245/35

Looks good, I would add some spacers, your offsets probably are not very aggresive

Yep, adjusting camber and getting spacers. My offset is +35 front +30 rear. (Not aggressive)
