I mean, if you really want someone to tell you that your car is no bueno to your face then I'd be happy to. I usually hang out around arcadia all the time or rowland heights. I'm not trying to be a jerk but sometimes the hard truth needs to be said in person (this is how I am). I'll give you some tips if you bring your car out.

first off, that was the worst sentence I have ever read in my whole life.

I don't talk shit just for the hell of it. I talk shit when some little kid comes on here, acting like he knows everything after spending two days on the forum, and disrespects members who have spent years here.

if you didn't act like such a little prick, people probably wouldn't be so harsh on you. and when you say, "I wanna know what I should change, but I'm not changing anything," you sound stupid.

And I don't think anyone would have a problem saying this to your face

I suggest not doing a thing to the car now and waiting another 2-3 years of your life before you touch it. At 17 (or whatever age you are) the LAST thing on your mind should be modifying a car. Get into college, start saving money, plan for your future, and then if you have a few extra bucks throw it into your car. Become self sufficient > car modifications. Take this advice because I was the opposite and I'm just learning that now... (Well I was low 20s when I started modifying my car for a purpose, but you get the idea)

[conolulu]

yo im only 19 and im sorry.. but this car looks straight like shit.. i would take these peoples advice and go back to stock lmao

OMG that site is amazing.

You will greatly benefit from reviewing the COTM archives for the e90 sedan. It really does not take a lot to get your car looking nice.

Here is an example of the same car in the same color but done well (yes a bit cookie cutter but that's because it looks clean).
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=227129

LTO's COTM 3/29/09


Now compare that to yours:


Remove all stickers
Paint the hood
Get springs or coilovers
Get new wheels (or a used set from the forums)
Upgrade angel eyes
Maybe splitters
a nice detail (paint correction and 22ple/opticoat)
Done.

That's all you need bro. My post is #140, this will turn the prior 138 comments excluding your first to "sweet ride."

It's bad when you can't tell the difference between trolls and real people making terrible decisions because there actually exists so many of the latter. It's a hard balance for me believing in personal expression of personality and also wanting the BMW community to stay true to its roots. We live in a world where everything is constantly changing.

Having said that, I really think the most recent waves of BMW owners (16-early 20s) have done something terrible to the sport. And it isn't just with BMWs, its with all kinds of cars but 3-series are becoming easier to acquire at a younger age. It annoys the shit outta me when I see nice cars being ruined and under appreciated. I hope these kids realize sooner than later that you can have a "sick" looking car without stupid mods. It's all about staying tasteful. You can be different without inducing vomit.

OP, as a member of the younger crowd i beg you to reconsider your mods. I also suggest following the COTM example that someone posted. Only a few changes would go such a long way. In a few years you'll look back and wish you had listened. We share this advice because we were there at one point and realize the stupid mistakes we made or that our friends made and want to help you prevent making the same or wasting your money.

I thought he was being sarcastic, but you can never be too sure. So, I played it safe. haha

hahahahahahahaha I feel like I've been cheated all these years

LOL, look at your car... how are you gonna expect people to not to get wrecked on the forum. Listen to others, if you don't have the money leave the car stock, or go out and make some money... I managed to pay for all my mods to my e90, part it out, and pay for a new e92, and win COTM by 18 while getting into all the UC schools. Control your own destiny, or just tell your sponsor to put it back to stock

If you have been on E90 post for a long time you should know your car is hideous, and needs a lot of help to even come close to a respectable bmw. Yes to each his own but if you do nothing but random tasteless mods to your car then ask ppl what they think your going to get the hard truth. If I was you I would take that huge sticker off as you obviously don't need a " sponsor and re-think your.... and Btw age has nothing to do with modding. I know a number of members under 20 who have amazing cars.

[Projekt_BooGie]

if you are on a budget make budget mods.
1) lower car, if you can't get coils, springs go on here used for $150
2) get you lower costing wheels, you can get used wheels (reps) pretty reasonable)
3) If you have a sponsor in order to keep your sponsor you need to follow their rules, if they say you need to put a banner on your front window to keep your sponsor discounts, well hell put it up. Try not to put stickers on the paint unless its a wrap
4) Consider fully or partially paint the hood. The fully exposed CF look on any other car but black or dark grey isn't to appealing IMO.

There are nice ways of telling someone needs to reconsider their scheme. You have a good platform and a lot of good examples. If you don't want to be "cookie cutter" then don't. I'm riding on 20s and on air, and around here that is a broken law to some people. At the end of the day some people will love it, other will hate it. But no matter which someone is always use what they say to better yourself and your car. Happy modding!!!!
