First pictures of my space grey E92

Chrisw100 · 04-30-2011, 12:37 PM

Hi everyone!

Finally got chance to take some photos of my e92 today after a good clean, Its my second car (first car being a vauxhall corsa when I was 17, now 20) and came with some nice touches like m-sport 19" wheels, black leather etc. Ive done a few things so far like sprayed the hubs, calipers and wheel bolts, fitted the kensington liquid deluxe, and the other week I started to correct BMW's paintwork, with a light 3000 grit all over and machine polishing the paintwork back to removing some of the orange peel and defects, Im planning to 1500 grit and then 3000 grit the whole car in the next few weeks to get the paintwork really flat with no orange peel, Anyway enough chat, heres the pics....

Hope you guys like it! let me know what you think

Looking nice

An m3 bootlip would really compliment the rear

Might aswell go the whole hog and fit an Msport kit if your gonna run those rims as they look odd on the SE as it is. Could have gone down the clean & classy look and fitted 230's and then saves your getting the kit as the SE with 230's looks Perfect!

Nice colour car. What's the spec?!

looks good.

Add an aero spoiler on the front to finish it off.

i would look at changing the tyres too

there non run flats atm, are you talking sizes?

dxb335d · 04-30-2011, 02:48 PM

I knew it was a 320, just wondered on the rest of the spec. She has shadowline which is a nice touch!

Ooo urmmmm yeah the shadowline which I was pleased about! Black leather, speaker upgrade. I believe that's it?! This is my first BMW and as I say my second car, coming from a Corsa this seem to have everything so maybe you guys could help me with the "spec" if you think
I've missed something

What make/model is the little bluetooth(?) thing plugged into your 12v and aux-in sockets and does it power on/off with the ignition?
