New E90 owner :)

330ray · 07-15-2013, 05:12 PM

--UPDATES PAGE 2--

Hey People bit of a longtime lurker on these forums especially from the e46 board. after owning a 318ci always wanted the 330 e46 but my insurance didnt like me having that due to my age

anyway!

Picked up my new BMW e90 330i m sport about a month ago now and ownership is sweet.

Already added a couple of mods Lost the terrible chrome grills, made even worse as its a 330i model even the fins had chrome.

Anyway there now gone and replaced with a matt black grill which looks a thousand times better. also replaced the headlights to some aftermarkets which i think just give it that much better look at the front!

anyway heres a few snaps not best as iphone quality

Thanks man

and yeah they are just blacked out projector lenses with angel eyes. Was a cheap upgrade that makes hell of alot of diffrence to the look. I wanted a more agressive front then from the OEM headlights and these definetly fit the bill. I got them from ebay and if i rember right i paid about Â£250 And quailty is good and fitment.

luke_chadney · 07-16-2013, 04:10 PM

That's ace I want the exact same look on mine. Just after purchasing I added a few engine mods so I want it to look aggressive like it performs and a sleeper at the same time. I've got the grill just need to get hold of some lights now. I've spotted these on eBay but I'm unsure if they are the same? Item #: 360692470611 if you could take a look and pm me as I can't get a picture of them from my phone.
Thanks Luke

Naa them headlights you linked are not the same as the ones i have. And after reading the description i would still go for mine as they dont offer the autoleveling retrofit. These are the ones which i have installed : 300624130931

Yes it is

Looking good! One of the best colours, make sure you keep it clean because it looks so good when it's nicely polished!
