They are PnP for Halo equipped E90's and looks 1,000,000 times better.

Thanks for the heads up man. Literally no knowledge or experience when it comes to headlights. Want to keep it OEM as possible but not go crazy money wise. Thanks for the input

New shocks are in. Tyres next week and I'm sorted for a while.

[DelaneyE90]

So came home from college to be greeted with four boxes.
Ripped open one of the rears and test fitted it.





3SDM 0.01

front 19x8.5 et37
rear 19x9.5 et33

Cant wait to get rubber on these by the end of the week.

It's a 2006 320d M-Sport in Le Mans Blue. Very good condition, decent milage and full service history with BMW.

Its got all the usual M-sport extras:

18" Style 193's
Aluminium interior trim
Sports black leather seats
Bluetooth
Cruise control
Updated Tailights







Only had it a week and I melted my card and ordered a few bits for it.

First to arrive was a full LED kit. Every interior/boot lights, sidelights and number plate lights.





Hopped on Schmiedmann and placed an order for splitters and a spoiler.

The quality is second to none. Easy install and fit the car perfectly.









And finally, got a package from SSDD with a 6000k HID kit and LED foglights. Havent installed the HID's until the car goes through NCT (MOT) but once that's sorted, they'll go in.



Thanks for reading, lots more updates soon including a shiney new set of wheels

If I am honest here, the most modifying I have ever done is probably changing a fiesta standard stereo to an aftermarket one and adding stickers (also on the fiesta)
You were saying the boot lip and the splitter were pretty easy to install, by easy to you mean 'easy for guys that have done a few mods over the years and know there way around a car well' or do you mean 'pretty much anyone can do it as long as they arent a complete fool'?

Wouldnt mind doing it myself

[DelaneyE90]

Suppose I should update this. Here she is with wheels fitted:







I also fitted 25mm spacers on the rear and 20mm up front.



Next on the list:

Exhaust
DEPO V2 Headlights
Bluetooth kit for music
HEKO deflectors
AC Schnitzer roof spoiler
genuine BMW Alcantara interior pieces

Very nice car and looks excellent with the mods you've done. Can you tell me about the rear spoiler you fitted?

What would you like to know?

It's a carbon fibre "EVO 2 Race" spoiler I bought off Schmiedmann in Germany.

Fitted with 3M double sided tape.

[DelaneyE90]

Excuse the dirty car but fitted a stainless steel exhaust on the car yesterday. Had this custom made with a backbox delete. It is easily swapable with the original exhaust if needs be.





Exhaust note has changed to a deep throaty rasp which whistles slightly when the car comes on boost. Inside however, you wouldnt notice any difference.

More to come soon!

Brilliant quality and fits bootlid perfectly.

[DelaneyE90]

So it's been half a year since I updated this and the car looks totally different now.

I'll begin where I left off last May



In early June, whilst driving on a country road, a passing car threw up a lump of debris which badly damaged my bonnet, leading to the respray I'd been planning anyway. I had the plate recess on the front bumper smoothed and the wings, bonnet and bumper sprayed.



A short time later I hopped on Schmiedmann and purchased geunine BMW Performance gear shifter, alcantara steering wheel insert and black kidney grills.







After a day long summer detailing session...













...the car was protected for winter, which brought the most major changes.

Getting tired of the 3SDM's and beginning to fall out of love with the car, Rotiform released it's new cast RSE design. I had to have a set, so when a good deal came up on Black Friday, I contacted Blackline Performance in Belfast and placed an order.





Sitting at 19x8.5 up front and super wide 19x10 rears it's the first E90 on this wheel in the world and the first set of Rotiform RSE in Ireland. Personally, I reckon they suit the car to the ground, the anthracite grey colour highlighting the carbon fibre pieces already fitted.





I also fitted a set of sideskirt extensions and rear fins to complete the new look.





Santa was good to me at Christmas, bringing a modification I'd been wanting to do since first purchasing the car.



After a lot of research and limited options as to what headlights I could get here in Ireland, I contacted CA-Technologies and purchased DEPO's new V3 design angel eye headlight.



The quality is superb, fits like a glove and is an easy plug and play install. I've not seen too many E90's fitted with later model style angel eyes so I think they give it a unique look.





Whats next? give it a smack of the lowering stick is certainly one option and replace the fading radio headunit for an Apple CarPlay unit another.



Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading!

Where did you get the rear fins ?

[RajB]

Stunning. Love the side skirt blades and rear bumper ones too.

Been looking at these for mine.

[McPikie]

Car is looking lovely. Congrats on such a nice motor

Do you know where you can the rear ones?

Theyre basically just lengths of corrugated plastic PVC sheet that were cut to length and shape and had wrapped tightly in black vinyl.

So are they standard sideskirts with a lip attached?

These arrived this morning to replace the LED festoons I had installed in my factory holders. they had begun to flash and die so an upgrade was needed.

Safe to say cops wont have a problem seeing my plate now, almost too bright

Dropped the car in for a headlight alignment too so she's sorted for another while.

Also forgot to mention in my previous update, she was treated to an overdue oil service and 5L of 5w30 Petronas last month, so the engine is singing much sweeter now.
