Got any tips or posts to refer to for this? Or any thoughts/review thus far? I'm looking to do the same when I refresh the suspension on my E90.

Fundguy1 · 07-11-2016, 11:37 AM

Dropped off 1M bumper at the body shop for prep.

Not really necessary. Other stuff makes a difference in handling. If you haven't, do subframe bushings, m3 front control arms, m3 front strut brace, and coilovers as well as wheels and tires first.

Got my custom headlights installed. If you want a set, pricing, quote, option sheets etc. please contact: vin.bimmergruppe@gmail.com. Mention my name and Vin will hook you up.

Installed these lights on my e92 and KW coilovers on my buddies XI all in the same day. not bad for a days worth of work. It was a rainy Saturday so not much else to do but wrench.

Onto the pictures. It does a ton more colors, the green and aqua look neat but no pics of those:

I'll get some more pics shortly.

Fundguy1 · 07-11-2016, 05:51 PM

Fundguy1 · 07-11-2016, 05:56 PM

Paid for my new wheels and tires. Should get them next week.

You can also buy the parts yourself and follow a online/you tube DIY.

Just get ready for some possibly serious torqued bolts. Wasn't hard except for access with a torque wrench when putting it all back together.

Gonna be the first I think. Rolling and stretching as needed. I haven't seen 305s on an e93 335i yet.

The Nightman · 07-12-2016, 10:40 AM

Recently got a 2009 328i and have done the following:
- charcoal filter delete
- Lux H8 V3 angel eyes
- LED interior bulbs

Next up:
- Homelink mirror
- clear reflectors
- sunglass holder
- coding with Carly
- OE 17" wheels with non-RFTs

I normally do a "stage 0" on new-to-me cars but this one was already well maintained.

Out of curiosity, what does a charcoal filter delete accomplish? Besides obviously getting rid of the filter that cleans out the air going into the cabin?

The 328i, in NA, comes with a secondary intake filter that is permanent. Its only purpose is to prevent vapors from exiting the engine. For cars with alot of miles, this mod can be a little more effective as the charcoal filter must have become dirty over time.

Its not a huge improvement, but it is a nice thing to do while changing the air filter and cleaning the MAF sensor.

mrw84 · 07-13-2016, 09:19 AM

Like the other guy, I too have a new to me 07 328i that I recently got.
So far:
Passenger rear window regulator
Changed the oil
Changed the air and cabin filter
Changed the front and rear rotors and pads

The Nightman · 07-13-2016, 12:57 PM

Performed a throttle body reset using this guide: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=544115

Gas pedal feels much more responsive and linear compared to before. Beats paying for a PBX or tune!
