Welcome! What kind of mods are you looking for - cosmetic or engine?

Verbiage · 06-06-2010, 10:38 PM

Welcome! Get some Blackline tail lights. I don't own a 330, but the exterior styling is the same

millerjeff86 · 06-06-2010, 10:39 PM

I would recommend JBSPEED for some LED license plate lights. It was the first thing I did to my car, quick and easy to install (just plug and play), and makes a load of a difference!

You can even see them in my sig lol. That's how bright they are.

millerjeff86 · 06-06-2010, 10:54 PM

haha yea wow those are bright!

millerjeff86 · 06-07-2010, 12:05 AM

That I'm actually not too sure of.. try building one online without iDrive and see if its still an option, maybe? It should still apply.

well just bought the plate lights from jbspeed and ordered some drl thing for my angle eyes. looks pretty easy to do both we shall see!!

Nice!! The license plate LED's are very easy, just pop out the old ones with a flathead screwdriver and plug the new ones into the housing. Hardest part about that is actually getting them out without scratching anything LOL. Did you get 18 or 24 LED's?

I haven't gotten my AE's yet

Installing new angel eye bulbs can be tricky. You have to take out your stock airbox to get to the lighting panel door. The passenger side is not that difficult. The first thing I did on my 330i was upgrading the angle eyes, fog lights and xenons. Another cool mod I recommend is an Injen Intake. It sounds great and adds a little bit of throttle response.

BMW lighting and Intakes are great first time mods

That's what I got, too. They're already brighter than anyone else's LED's on the road that you will see. Guaranteed.

Whoa, nice CSL's! Your buddy's Impreza is nice, are those Rays Engineering wheels on it? My friend has a bug eyed WRX and I believe he has those same wheels powder coated in gold.
