Hi all,
I'm Craig, 26 from Otley just north of Leeds. I'm new to the forum but not new to BMWs. I've come over from the E46zone. I've had my 318d for 4 months now and love it

So far i've added

19" Genuine BBS CH's
Genuine BMW performance kidneys
Smoked rear windows
335 style exhaust
Genuine dummy shark fin





I also had a 320si for 6 months but didnt really take to it for some reason



And my old E46 which got me onto BMWs, changed everything inc porsche brembos



Loving the forum so far, keep up the good work!

Welcome to the forum.
Lovely car and liked rear exhaust conversion.

[AWBimmer]

Great looking e90 bud and welcome along.. Love then tints and rear exhaust conv.

[gchild]

Those bbs wheels are very nice. Not seen them in 19s before

[Alen E90]

wooooooow very good looking 3er you got there, i love the way the silver CH's look on the color of your car-very classy and the 335 style exhaust looks sooooo clean, nice job!

[Billyray911]

Welcome mate-nice motors-love the E46...

[edowen]

i dont get putting the antenna on the roof, or a 335 exhaust on a 318, sorry.

[Subzero2003]

Looks really nice, but i couldn't help but think - why did you get a 318d and then spend £1000's on genuine BBS CH's?!

How much are genuine BBS CH's? The replicas are about £600 IIRC, so genuines have got to be about £2.5-3k?

It makes it look nicer, and it does look good. Simples.

Hello Welcome!!

[xenon]

The exhaust I get (looks great) but a dummy aeriel? That is bizarre. Nice-looking car though.

Chris - welcome to the forum, there are a few faces from E46Zone making the move over slowly (im Singh in case you didnt know!).

Car looks really nice mate - the LCI looks really fresh, and I now really want an E91 LCI.

As for the BBS and the comment of spending X on them when you have a 318 - I think Chris already had the BBS rims from his E46 days - and anyway, there are many reasons why people might opt for a 318 - fuel, insurance, type of driving etc etc - so each to their own.

Only if the 320d didn't exist (which it unfortunately does). The 320d has more acceptable power, identical fuel consumption, very very similar insurance premiums and costs the same to run.

Which begs the question - why would anyone ever buy a 318d? The 320d has many benefits over the 318d, yet no drawbacks. I mean, 140bhp in a 1500kg car! I know many of us just want to pootle along and don't want some fire breathing monster of a car, but there is an acceptable level of performance - which i think the 320d delivers and the 318d most certainly doesn't.

Very nice looking E90 mate. I really like it. The exhausts look good but do scream 335d LOL

[Stevese90]

H mate great looking car what's the next mods on the line i would suggest front splitters a decent spoiler and some vmr vb3 wheels it would look the nuts. That's my own opinion but your car mate do it however you would like it. We got alot of haterz on dis forum o got 320d Ed with m sport kit still got to put a few pics up my car it's in bodyshop at mo getting it mopped treating it to a good shine and touch up of a few scratches

[Stevese90]

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for exhaust

I had mine running on those for 3 years

[dxb335d]

The rims look ACE!!

[MEGA]

Hi Craig. My favourite alloy bar none. My last car had them and to secure the sale I ended up letting them go with the car quite cheap. If you ever want to sell them then consider me as I'd take another set

Car is looking great and welcome to the forum. Have you considered a remap? It'll make the car much more enjoyable ..

[Sir_Pigley]

The car looks fabulous!!

I think the twin exhausts look good and I have no problem with you doing that mod.

However I can't explain to myself (or anyone else) why I consider this modification acceptable, but at the same time I find that people putting M badges where they don't belong to be offensive. Any theories...........?

[Danny.B.]

stunning mate, best colour too, i want one in that colour :-(
