New Owner :)

Morning everyone,

I just collected my E92 yesterday and it's my first BMW so thought I'd ask some of you for things to watch out for with the car n just any general tips n tricks as I'm pretty clueless with this lol.

Also any mods recommended?

Cheers
David

The MV3's should be an 18" wheel and to my knowledge problems with them are next to none.

It might be worth asking your friendly dealer, to look up and claims against your car.

I'll get some pics up over the next week which will show my 2 missing headlight washers that blew off with 24 hours haha!

No huge plans tbh, I really want rid of the yellow light off the angel eyes n get the nice White light that the newer models come with ( any recommendation of the best way to do this? ) and upgrade the speakers to something that is actually quite clear lol I was surprised how poor the speakers were tbh! Ohhh and hopefully de-badge this week

Cheers for the welcome everybody

Welcome!

What's the colour combo?

M3 rear spoilers and remaps are popular. If you have shadowline (black gloss around the windows) then matching front grills look good.

SSDD do a good lip. I'm sure there must be someone on here with TiAG and black grill if you ask nicely!
