Man I hope I can get mine as nice as this! Think the gloss roof wrap would look good, i saw some pictures of a crimson with it done the other day and it looked pretty sweet! Those wheels though <3

Thanks man!! I do wish I went coils in retrospect; you won't regret it! The only reason I went with springs is because I never had the intent to mod the car like I have, lol. Spiraled out of control pretty fast.

I appreciate the love, man!! Let me know if you find a photo of that car with the gloss black roof, I definitely want to check that out.

Yeah I did springs/shocks in the past and regretted it and so I told myself I wouldn't do that again. I have a feeling that might be the same case for me once I get the car paid off.

I'm pretty sure this is the best looking E90 I've seen. Just perfect and makes me miss my Crimson so much. Very well executed. Let's get some M3 mirrors installed next.

OP, your car is looking amazing. I actually came across it on Instagram today. Crimson Red really is a great color on the e90.
I must find these wheels!!! Have come across them once before and think they look so clean.

Yeah those mirrors would look good, I think! Adding that to the list for sure! Quote:
I wish I could help you with those wheels, not sure what they are. If I come across them I'll update you if you haven't figured it out by then. Edit: Well that was quick. I asked my brother and he told me it was the factory BMW X5 wheel. The E53:

Is this still on the H&R Sport Springs? and are you using any spacers?

Questions: 1. Did you use a satin sealer as pictured? or was it a different level gloss? 2. How have they been holding up to date? 3. For buffing, did you use a DA and various level abbrasive polishes? That part is kind of important They looks so nice and clean, I have been wanting to do mine but all constantly read it's something you have to upkeep on every several months once you take the plunge. Ride looks killer, SDC's FTW! TIA

In regards to the sealer, we used the one pictured -- I'll try to take some current photos when I get around to washing the car hopefully this weekend! We did use a DA and went least aggressive to most aggressive on the compounds...just enough to where we could get it out, then polished from there, then sealed with the sealer. Thank you for the compliments! I'll try to get pics for you soon.
