Nice!!! I like what you've done with the car so far. I just picked up a blue water 335i so this thread really lets me see the colour's potential.

Are those the original wheels? Do you know the style number by chance?

Craig, keep meaning to get some pics up of mine. I've had my Eibach pro's fitted and they have settled well. I'm also running 12mm spacers all round but with a wider tyre. There is only one Eibach one option for our car, the pro kit. Its definitely worth doing, especially as the springs are about £100 from Germany. The handling is much better and you get the perfect drop for the front

Sweet ride Craig.

Was thinking of going for 10mm fr /20mm rr spacers on my e90 but the 15mm seem to do the job aswell looking at yours.
Did you have to get longer bolts? Can i ask which ones you went for if you did?...cheers.

Interior lighting works well and really do like the interior combo too and like mine the rear spoilers a real treat, looks great
Thanks Steve. Yeeh really happy with the spoiler. Definitely think Eibachs will be the next purchase. Thanks for advising re. what springs.

Thanks Yep original wheels but powder coated in ferric grey I believe. As mentioned they are the 313 style.

Thanks Yeh I got mine 2nd hand but they are the set CM wheels sell on here, think the extended bolts are 40mm ish, but they will supply the correct length depending on the spacer thickness.

I bought 2nd hand but he got them from CM wheels off here. Yes you will need longer bolts if you use spacers.

Highly recommend CM Wheels for the spacers. Good quality, great customer service. I had an issue with one of the locking wheel bolts so had to get another pack sent out. Was in the post the next day.

Craig, love what you've done with your motor. I have a metallic bluewater 330d and I thought the paintwork was clean on it but yours looks stunning.

How much do you charge for your services?

Thanks! Hehe, hundreds

It's so easy to keep clean now though, the water literally runs off it when driving above 40ish mph.
