Hi all,

I recently purchased an e90 320d se.

Its my first e90 but not BMW - my last 6 cars have been (from most recent to oldest) 2001 X5 4.4 Sport, 2003 330ci Sport, 2002 330ci Sport, 2005 535d M Sport (remapped), 2002 M3 SMG and 2001 330ci Sport.

I sold the X5 (which was LPG) to purchase this for the fuel economy as I have recently started a business requiring alot of miles, having previously fast petrol & diesel cars, I was expecting this to be a slouch, however for its little 4 pot engine, its okay. I find that its just not possible to enjoy a fast car on our roads anyway.

The car came from the factory with M Sport half leather interior, and the previous owner fitted the full M Sport kit with 335d M Sport exhaust & rear diffuser, the quality of the job is second to none, perfect fitment on every panel and even the side skirts have been swapped which is often missed (I think some people have never noticed a difference between M sport and se skirts.)

He also added the cf rear spoiler and mirror covers. I would never have done those last 2 myself, but actually really like them now (the spoiler at least). The front grill was painted (badly) matt black so I repainted them gloss black and lacquered them.

The only pic I have at the moment is one of the sellers pics, but I will take my own shortly.

Welcome to the fold.

I like the 335 end, was looking at this mod earlier myself.

Thanks, I really like the 335 back - I would not have done it myself purely based on the cost but its great when you buy it like that!

Welcome. I can understand why you got a 320d but after your previous cars I don't know how long you will be able to put up with the lower power?

I seem to change cars within 12 months so if it gets to me, the next one may be a fast car again, but I must say I've noticed my driving getting slower and slower over the years.

Welcome along mate!

Any plans for her?

Darklines would be the first id say to tidy the rear end up a treat :-)

[mobilejo]

What are dark lines?

I'm doing swirl flap blanks, air filter and oil breather tomorrow. Did oil and filter tuesday. Remap is next. Sat nav after that - is the dynavin any good on these cars? Didn't like the sound of the e46 one.

They are the smoked rear clusters, look much better than the normal ones IMHO.

Oh and welcome plenty of very knowledgable guys on here, I've only owned my e90 for a few months and I've learned so much info on here it's great

[mobilejo]

These are the genuine BMW ones for £288. Is that 3 x LED light bars I see in there?

Get your roof vinyld to have silver / black contrast.
Get smoked rear clusters from Germany.
And it will looked more aggresive.

I'm with you on the black roof - here are 2 of my prev. cars:

white and black looks far better than black and silver.
all the best, looking foward to it.

Of course. The M3 was actually black (hence the roof), but I had it wrapped white.

And how much you had to pay for that?
Also how did you get the colour changed on v5?
