E90 titanium silver costmetic ideas

rahn522 · 11-29-2009, 02:39 AM

I have a 2006 E90 and I'm bored of how it looks. I got a new carbon fiber emblem put in.

I need new ideas on how to make this car look good. lol I got this idea for making my kidney grills and the top chrome part matte black so im going to do that soon.

I'm thinking of getting a carbon fiber split lip also.

I have halogen lights and I'm thinking of getting "eyelids" for it. good idea? yes? no? if yes what color? same color as my car or different?

Thanks in advance<3

Steer clear of the eyelids.. I had them and after a while they started to become unappealing to me. Get the Vitex Ambergones instead from **********s.
Hit up MForce or JBSPEED for splitters, spoilers, etc...go to the vendor section to see pics of their products..
Happy modding.. its an addiction.. an expensive one...

If you like CF splitters on titanium silver go for it. I've seen pics but personally it just doesn't seem right to me. I think CF would blend in better on a darker color.

I would do the M3 style front for your car. For just a bit more, you can get a full replacement M3 bumper from us with built in fogs and lower center trim. It will really transform the front end.

BigZ88 · 11-29-2009, 12:22 PM

wow, i actually like that! Can someone post a pic of an e90 w/ M-tech bumper? Id like to see a side by side comparo with that m3 replica...

btw if you haven't done it, the plasti-dip for the front grill looks great.

c_jeong89 · 11-29-2009, 03:22 PM

My camera skills are bad but here are some pics of my e90 tiag with mtech. hope it helps

BigZ88 · 11-30-2009, 11:33 AM

Dang, that looks great! I think I like the M-tech better! Gonna cost a good bit more though I'm sure!

SV Concepts III · 11-30-2009, 11:43 AM

Here is the M3 bumper in TiAg:

Dirnegrey · 11-30-2009, 12:09 PM

M3 all the way. but, prefer it without fogs though.

good luck!

c_jeong89 · 11-30-2009, 12:57 PM

I am also getting a 3d studie rep lip soon so I'll post pics of that too, I think the lip+front looks awesome.

F80_M3llow · 11-30-2009, 02:28 PM

Or you can do ACS Like mine and LCi Halogen Headlights

klipseracer · 12-01-2009, 09:01 PM

I'm the ricer here. I have oem cf hood, cf hood roundel, cf Nose mask, cf splitters oem e90 front bumper. Dark finished wheels, cf rear diffuser getting either black or silver ambergones and 15% or so tint + painting the edges of the hood.

JayKay335i · 12-02-2009, 08:30 AM

I'm not a huge fan of CF on TiAg unless you are going for an extremely aggressive look and have all the other parts to make it aggressive enough.

How is the fitment?

Also weight compared to the Mtech? Poly weighs less than fiber or most of the plastics the aftermarket uses.

SV Concepts III · 12-05-2009, 11:29 AM

Fitment is spot on, not sure on the weight differences but I can tell you a bumper won't make your car a dog unless you fab it out of steel.

tomob63 · 12-05-2009, 11:45 AM

How much are painted M3 or MTech bumpers for an e90 '08?
I have a Hartge Rep front lip on and liked it at first, until I dinged it on a curb and cracked the fiberglass. Looks cheesy now.
Are they easy to install?

We've got the M3 bumpers on our site with pricing for you. Install is the same as replacing the factory bumper- the lower grills and fogs are included for you with the M3 bumper.

Looks good. Shipping for [E90M3FTBUMP] to 60169 a little out of my range. I have to ponder a bit... Is there an option to get this painted?

LuvMyRide · 12-24-2009, 08:27 PM

Nice... How much painted?

Mr&Mrs323i · 12-25-2009, 08:45 AM

Does anyone have pics of titanium silver with CF body pieces eg. spoilers, lips, etc?
I'm curious to see how well that combo looks.

Enzyme · 12-25-2009, 03:01 PM

As you have stated, start with changing your kidney grilles to matte black (the $100 parts from BavAuto or Turners, not the $50 eBay crap). I would also suggest OEM matte black window trim and OEM blacklines as well. See how you like it.

Beyond that, you might want to look at the M-Aero/M-Sport body kit. The M3 kit is nice as well, I just like the M-Aero more.
