My E90 need some pointers on modding

SiKkBaSs · 07-21-2008, 11:04 AM

Hey guys, this is my new BMW 325i SE bought a month back now. I love it. I wanna start modding it up and would like some pointers on what I can start off with. I still have a year warranty left on it. Sorry for bad photos, done with phone cam. Cheers.

I would start with coilovers and wheels first, and then blacklines. After that maybe a tint...

remmib · 07-21-2008, 12:23 PM

Yes, lower it, new wheels and blacklines to start with.

haha...I recognise this place. He didn't "park" it there...this is where he bought it. It's Cargiant in West London (Hammersmith)...take a left at the mini roundabout and under the bridge..am I right?

I'm guessing the top photo was taken at Canary Wharf? Thereabouts anyway...

Nice car...brave to go with a petrol though especially in the UK...good luck when you sell it...plus all the other crap associated with owning a petrol car (emissions etc).

I know this wont be a popular thing to say...but in my opinion, if you mod a BMW in the US, it might look cool and "gangsta" etc. If you mod it in the UK, it looks like a chav-mobile. I'd keep it really simple if I were you, unless you want people to not take you seriously. You have a late model beemer...nice car as it is.
