Offical Vancouver Memebers Thread

hey guys.. i just arrived in vancouver this evening. i am staying at a buddy's house. he owns a 335i coupe as well and i am thinking of buying him a set of H3 mtec or gp thunder bulbs to match his mtec h8 angel eyes that he already has...

anyone have any recommendations for a shop that sells some white H3 bulbs here in vancouver? he's not into modding so i would have to do the install for him and i'd like to get it before i leave town next week. ordering online is not an option.

Hey Sniper
These guys look expensive
What will they charge to put tires on new rims?
I mean my car is no lambo or R8.

Maybe give Drivehard a try? I think they are not bad, and they are very resonably price. I got my winter tyres/rims combo from them and installed everything for $1500.

Go down to Richmond u will see a lot more modded bmw. About the alarm, its dealerships ripoff by pre installing it and add to the invoice

I was parked at Oakridge past couple days doing x'mas shopping, don't think there are any other fully done up e89 Z4s in town yet let alone orange accents. Are you sure it was not from the orange lighting in the parking lot?

E90aL · 12-22-2010, 09:05 PM

im not sure but it wasn't in a parking structure and was near richmond. but it was a young asian man in his 20s-early 30s.

Hey,

Black 2007 335i in Kits. Not much to it right now. Debadged, LEDs, and a whole bunch more when I'm out of warranty. Ditching the front reflector makes a big change. That and going with a smoked LED side light. It came with 19" rims, but they're BMW rims. That's next.

I was also wondering if someone could recommend a good hand wash in Vancouver. A week by week place to go in the winter. I plan on having Brian Jessel do a full meal deal when the winters come off once a year, and a wax myself in the summer. I don't have access to a hose right now so I'm looking for a decent wash and dry only.

^

the underground car wash at oakridge mall is really good. they charge like $22 for a full outside wash. i've been going there for 2 years and the car's always sparkling clean when i get it back.

kevina2 · 12-28-2010, 09:27 AM

Charlie335,

Thank you. That's exactly what I need to know. I usually park up top in the back. Just past that nice M3 I see up there.

Ciao,

Kev
