New e90 owner

B_euro335 · 08-25-2011, 07:39 PM

Hey everyone, picked up my 07 e90 335i a couple weeks ago. Have been lurking here and figured I'd make an intro thread.

Car is Titanium Silver Metallic, black interior with brushed trim. Came with some carbon fiber splitters ( one slightly damaged, may look into replacing or getting new bumper altogether ).

Past cars have been Jeeps or a VW GTI, so I'm interested in modding and love the community!

Here's some pics, hopefully mods coming soon!

Nice car! Toss a tune on it and it'll become an animal! I love my Cobb AP...

Thanks! was probably going to do a few cosmetic things like bumpers, shadowline, headlights first. Definitely want to throw in a tune and intake, exhaust, bov asap too though.

Forgot to mention it's a 6sp manual also, needs a new shift knob haha

Congrats! A tune makes all the difference, but modding these seems to be like tattoos... one is just the beginning.

B_euro335 · 08-25-2011, 10:39 PM

^^ haha trust me, I've already caught it, I just don't know what I want to do first!

that and what would you say looks best on silver... carbon fiber or gloss black? going to do grill, trim and possibly rear views asap since its cheap and quick

good idea but I'm not sure they are worth the time/money, one has a decent crack or two =/

id at least look into the cost before buying a new set or whatever. i have a rep set made of fiberglass that i got from a member. had rock chips and a crack on 1. dude made them look like new and my cost was good.

cf splitters gonna run you a few hundred back. oems are like 700 or so (accuracy????). im sure paying to get the cracks fixed then having them painted the color of your car should be cheaper than buying a new set.

also, if you are thinking about replacing with reps, you have to be very careful of fitment. i dumbed out and purchased my 1st set from a chinese seller on ebay. fitment was bad. color was off. cheap. 140 wasted.

B_euro335 · 08-26-2011, 05:23 PM

Thanks for the tip, how exactly do they fix the carbon fiber though? seems like it would be pretty tough to do since the fibers are essentially broken

M340i Pride · 08-26-2011, 05:44 PM

congrat. same car here and 162 wheels are best of all 335i's in my opinion. you will lovvvee your car. i see you already have the spoilers and it looks great! where did you get it from or it came with it?

B_euro335 · 08-26-2011, 10:56 PM

thanks man, came with it. Had it almost 2 weeks now and havent touched any mods yet haha. Just been enjoying it but I'm ready to start for sure

Rozefx · 08-26-2011, 11:29 PM
