Do you have a manual or automatic? Do you have sport package or not? What type of mods are you into?

Youre way too vague.

On the black or darker silver cars I agree. Anything lighter not a fan. Unless of course you run with the flock

There's nothing nice about the stock tails....


Must have mods for a black E90:

1. blacklines
2. blackout grill
3. Emblem overlays
4. OEM spoiler
5. tint (you already have that)

...after that, it's all you....

I ordered a Black / Black E90 328i and I am going to do the following mods:

Debadge, Tint, Blacklines, Chrome Exhaust Tips, Aluminum Pedals, and later on I'm going add 19" BBS or BMW Rims with non-runflat tires.

Good luck, and have fun.

I think Blacklines are nice regardless of color. To each his own, don't let the opinion of someone on the internet that you will never meet sway you into not getting what you want.

Exactly. Its your car, you do what you want with it. You ask for opinions, youll get 11ty billion of them. None of which will actually open your wallet for you and purchase said mod.

You have to be the one that walks out to your car every time and thinks "Damn, I like the way that looks".

I thought I saw a whiteline DIY in the DIY section, but I could be wrong



....anyway, as others have said, taste is all relative. As long as you like it, that's all that matters

Blacklines carry the car's lines better then stock, regardless of the color.

never was a big fan of the oem stock rear bumper. so i think the mtech rear is must. just gives it a more aggresive look. And a simple lip to make the front to match teh aggressiveness of the rear wouldn't hurt. such as a hartge lip look solid!
