My AW E90 LCI on 9,5/10 VMR v703's

haajehaa · 08-07-2013, 07:00 AM

Presenting the finished engineering degree present to and from myself! The old MB W124 3,2l 24v was just to thirsty for commuting.

Imported this loaded 09 E90 LCI m-sport 320d manual from Germany. Saved about $8.5k doing this myself, still the total was $43.000... Crazy high taxation for a 4 y/o car in Norway!

Currently running FK Highsports and VMR v703 in 19x9,5 et33 w/ 5mm spacer (et28 final) with 235/35 up front. 19x10 et38 w/ 8mm spacer (et30 final) rear with 265/30. Flush and no rubbing issues! I do have a set of Gunmetal Forgestar F14 in 19x9 et27 (SC)and 19x10 et30 (DC) that may be mounted next spring. Got the VMR after giving up on the Forgestar lead time... Not sure if the Forgestars would look better though

Just had all the plastic + bonnet re-painted, kidneys wrapped gloss black, plate frame delete and the windows lightly tinted.

Thoughts/ suggestions appreciated

Very nice! Looks perfect. I love it when the diesels represent!

MonacoBlueE90 · 08-07-2013, 07:33 AM

Very beautiful, I really like it

. Get performance spoiler and front lip.
Also manual diesel FTW

. I only have 163hp.

Alen E90 · 08-07-2013, 11:17 AM

ahhh...V703's...my favorite VMR wheels!

you did an AWESOME job with the fitment and the drop!

i really like the clean/subtle look that you gave to your car

thanks for sharing!

VMRWheels · 08-07-2013, 11:29 AM

dhurng · 08-07-2013, 12:24 PM

not to be disrespectful but it looks like ur car jizzd in the last pic lolll

haajehaa · 08-07-2013, 01:30 PM

Thanks guys!

Not sure about lip and spoiler though, it will still forever be a 2L diesel

Lol, just left over soap thankfully:P Took the pics just to show the flushness!

Amini77 · 08-07-2013, 01:48 PM

KwlAznKid · 08-08-2013, 11:31 AM

If i'm not mistaken, nothing. They renamed the vb3 to v703. Probably because all other models are v7XX.

ah makes sense, I've been through 2 sets of vb3s on my m3 and I seriously starred at these pics for 5 minutes trying to see if the spokes were thicker or something! lol thanks for the clarification

Olagüe · 08-09-2013, 09:11 AM

looks good!

You need the M spoiler ;-)

914kid · 09-12-2013, 08:25 PM

Nice VMRs on your SLOW car! How about you get real wheels or a faster BMW? Oh wait you can't afford either right?

Lol, read the text. Got the VMRs just because of Forgestars lead time. No need for a better job commuter, and a faster e90 would run me $100k because of Norwegian taxes (an M3 $200k). I got a classic Nissan Z for the performance experience!

Still think cast 3 piece replica wheels are just wrong.... Nothing dumb about that in my opinion.

Looks good!
