New member, Introducing myself

BSME90 · 01-30-2009, 01:12 AM

Hey everyone!

My name is Martin and I have a 2007 BMW 328xi. It is lowered, has 19in CSL Wheels, Blacked-out Kidney Grills, Adaptive HIDs, and Terracota Leather. Right now it is in winter mode, so it's got the stock 17in wheels on winter tires. All I'm planning to do is 20% Tint, Muffler Delete, and air intake(can't decide yet).

I traded my 2003 MINI Cooper S for this because I wanted practicality, AWD and more room.

Mods: 15% Front Tint/5% Back Tint, 15% Alta Supercharger Pulley, 6000k HIDs, BMP Air Intake.

See you around! Thank you!

whats a muffler delete?? and howmuch extra u had to pay to trade a 328xi?

congrats on the new car btw.

Martin, welcome aboard. Your car is looking good. Tinting will add even more. I have 38 tint on mine (most allowed in Oregon), and in our area, they are extremely vigilant, visiting with the blue light special. those who have darker tints.

You're lucky! In MN, the tint law is 50% for all windows. And now, you can only get tint if you have a prescription.

Yea, it sounds nice but I have yet to find someone else who has an E90 with MD.

Nice car and welcome aboard!

Welcome to the boards Martin... all those mods sound awfully familiar (our cars are pretty similar). I'm sure you'll soon find how addictive this site is and if you need help or have any Q's from a fellow 328xi guy, shoot me a PM anytime.

-Badger

BTW I have the Muffler Delete as well

Thanks Badger! Yea, I have already been bit by the mod bug. I've ordered Xenon White Reverse Lights and Gloss Black Emblems.

I do have a question. The Angel Eyes on my E90, i want to upgrade to a whiter color. Do I just replace a bulb for them?

yeah, although I have some aftermarket angel eyes (non xenon projectors) I believe that is all you need to do. Lux is a pretty popular one as well as ICE but there are a bunch of others out there.

try checking out the technical section of the forums (exterior/interior) and you could probably find tons of info on it.

also, the search tool is pretty helpful
