Hey guys Im kinda new to the scene as I just got my car a fews ago. Its an 2007 328xi coupe AW/CR. bought it used from a private dealership and now Im just looking into some options for cheap mods.



Im really interested in updating the bulbs for the angel eyes so they shine white instead of the standard yellow. Is this mod simply just changing out the original H8 35w bulbs with new ones? or do i need to some further work to make it work right without getting any errors.

Also, I wanted to exchange the chrome kidney grills for matte black ones, and get ride of the front license plate. only problem with that is the holes on the front bumper that remain. is there any sort of plugins for the holes so I can avoid paying out the ass to a body shop?

Another issue is one of the cup holders in the front is broken, the passenger side door sill is coming off a little on the edge, and the passenger side trim behind/below the door is not properly fitted so its loose. Are these things that my factory 50k warranty will cover through bmw?

Let me know what everyone thinks about these mods and if you have any suggestions from previous experience. I really need the input from someone who has dealt with similar issues. Thanks

Definitely go with black kidney grills, you can easily paint them. Then:
-Paint match side reflectors
-vinyl chrome window trim black (bmwshadowline.com is where i got mine)
-vinyl roof black

Those are pretty cheap mods that make your car look great

angel eyes, matte black kidneys and maybe a m3 rear spoiler to get started

+1 bumper plugs works really well - just make sure you drill the hole bigger and clean it out to make it flush~

SAWEET!
I just got my first cheap mods a month ago !
What I did was
1 . Matt black grills
2 . Clear reflectors ( I like this better cause if you did it white you would see the out line of where the reflector "was" "
3 . Debaged
next thing I'm gonna do is possible silverish white window tint? IDK yet. get it lowerd.... heres a couple of pics

When I had an e90, my girlfriend broke the cup holder when she got out of the car. It was literally ripped out. Brought it to the dealer and they took care of it no problem.
When I got my e92 the driver's cup holder would come out but would not drop. I had to manually press down on it. Brought it to the dealer and they replaced it with the brand new ones (with an aluminum plastic piece that you press on).
I wouldn't worry about anything as long as you are within the warranty.
