Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I have already gained much knowledge from you, and hopefully I am able to help some of you as I gain experience as well.

Yes sir, just picked up last Friday...Only 45K on it

E90Company · 04-18-2012, 04:37 PM

Nice car man, congrats.

If looking to mod (Like I tell everyone) start with:

Blackline taillights (OEM)
Debadge
Tint
Drop (Springs or coilovers)
Angel eye upgrade (I reccomend MTEC V3 $130)

Have fun! If you want to spend some money, I reccomend BMW performance exhaust as well.

Black kidney grills. They're the first first mod that someone should buy.

I just like the contrast of the chrome grille surrounds with the matte black middle on his color

clawr80 · 04-18-2012, 04:41 PM

Keep the ideas coming, lol...already have the tint done, you can see on the side view.

Kolyan2k · 04-18-2012, 04:43 PM

1st thing i would do is get rid off those wheels asap followed by better suspension

datbimmerdoe · 04-18-2012, 04:55 PM

congrats & welcome!

Keep those wheels with some snow tires for wintertime... my A4 quattro used to get hung up on the regular when I was at ND. South Bend gets a crap-load of lake effect snow, I can't even imagine what it's like in a RWD car.

Yes we get ALOT of snow off of Lake Michigan. I always use Blizzaks and have no problems. These will become my winter wheels, but the 18" wheels I want are on backorder until the end of May so I will be running on these for a little bit.

For some reason I didn't realize you have an xi. That makes me feel better. Good to go! You can probably even keep the all season tires on the winter wheels, I'd imagine? Although Blizzaks could make it even better.

But how about this > IMHO.

no offense, but for less money any 6-cyl from jap car will pull stronger and be more reliable (Camry, Accord, or Nissan, etc)

I dont think anyone is buying 328 for N52 beauty.....

Just got my new 18" wheels on. Thinking about adding a 10mm spacer on the rear to make more flush with fender. Offset on the wheel is 34mm, so hopefully i won't rub.

AddictedToBavarian · 04-24-2012, 04:43 PM

Nice wheels.. you're getting there. Look into a drop next...
