2009 335i Black/chestnut

Blacksage · 02-18-2014, 11:25 AM

New to me E90 335I CPO and maintenance for the next couple of years.

I think it is Sapphire Black/ Chestnut

Not new to the BMW scene, owned some 325is, and quite a few M3s. Needed something in warranty and easy on gas. Despite the warranty and maintenance, I would REALLY like to get an intake and a tune since the price is so low. Also, the wood trim needs to go, but I don't see myself dropping 2K on CF trim.

After about a week of ownership, came out to a busted tail lamp!

Took about $90 and 10 minutes to replaced the light. The bumper has a crease, but I am not worried about it.

I live in an apartment complex and one of my neighbors backed into it. I am not sure who and really don't feel like getting myself upset investigating it. Figured it is best for me to drop the $90 and move on.

Yeah I feel you I lived in apartments and know the feeling I use to back mine up in the corner and side ways so people knew I didn't want them parking next to me. Put some compound on that paint when you can it'll pop out a lot of those scratches just did mine this weekend and damn what a difference

. wish mine was LCI

BrownBlazer · 02-18-2014, 12:13 PM

That looks like Coral Red to me, no?

Rich_E · 02-18-2014, 12:33 PM

I don't think Coral Red was ever an option on the E90.

Nice car OP but sucks about the damage. At least it's fixed and you're back to enjoying it.

E93FTW · 02-18-2014, 12:52 PM

Nice car! Is shameful how people can do this and just walk away(the damage). They shall burn!

Mardio · 02-18-2014, 01:53 PM

Nice color combo...

Blacksage · 02-18-2014, 02:03 PM

It is crazy cause I am such an easy going person I probably would have told them to forget about the bumper damage and just split it with me for being honest. $45 out of pocket and they would have made a friend. Oh well, Karma will straighten that out for me.

I am new to the E90 game, but coral is a not an option (E92)

So for now I have the following list

JB4
DCI
Aluminum trim
Double DIN deck

I've searched doesn't look like it will be a huge PITA like on the E46, so I should be okay to install everything myself.

Beautiful car. Ours our very similar!

Nice upgrade to the interior did you do it yourself?

DC_Oldboy · 02-28-2014, 11:08 PM

Nice man. Sucks that happened but at least it's minor. Happy modding!

DOMs335D · 03-01-2014, 07:19 AM

Yea I did the trim myself. It isn't perfect in the corners but it is great to look at versus paying $800 plus for CF trim etc. I definitely got better as time went on, but I thought it was difficult. Maybe I should have read a how-to for tips. I just placed it on there, no glue or heat gun.

I am deciding between a JB4 and or a double DIN next! One of them is going in before summer for sure!
