Hello....soon I will be done due to lack of cash in my pocket but THANKS for all your help so far! Still need your opinions!!!! Found something new....wheel spoilers??? I like the way they look in photos but I am not sure how (meaning with what other parts) or even IF I should add them. Hard to tell when just looking a photos.

BMW LOOKS SO GREAT so far!...2006 E90 4D, spark. graphite, tinted windows 35%, Bluebat Amber outs front lights (will add this week and upload photo to share--some of you were asking), OEM trunk spoiler in Spark Graph, CF roundels, and BMW 330 chrome tail pipe (will also add pic when I put them on this weekend--someone was asking.....).

I still feel it looks "like eveyones BMW on the road". I want it to be a little more "interesting". (OK--truth is I plan to sell this sucker in maybe 4 years at most and get a 335 used if I can....).....don't want to dump tons of money in the car, just to sell later.....I doubt I will get the money back at sale/trade in.

Rims seem like the way to go but $1600??? Unless I can sell my stock rims and use the cash toward new ones........*OTHER* than rims at this point, what would look best that can help my car "stand out a bit more" ???

Thanks fella's! I would decribe my self as "classy-sporty". Classy...but like some sport for spark!!


AND AS ALWAYS....comments or suggestions welcome.....(oh--cold air intake will be added in spring....but for now--I am looking at exterior mods)




Pic of wheel spoilers....Nice???? Ugly?

wuz up man whatever you do dont put those wheel spoilers they look awful i see your in dc checkout our local euro forum www.absolutelydriven.com later

[Cinnamon]

Matte--That is what I want to hear!!! Opinions... I bookmarked the web page you suggested....Thanks

Again, I can only see pics of these car parts. I have NEVER seen a modified BMW in person (not a car gal...just love BMW's). Not seen any on the roads when I look around while driving......just typical (stock) BMWs.....I like the photos you all have posted but I know you put a lot of money into your cars and I just cant do that since I do not see my self keeping this car for a while....

mayb a front lip? angel eye upgrade, muffler delete,mattle black grills,

[Cinnamon]

Thanks Miamibusta69....I like the look of the front lips.....and would balance the back well........but I tend to scrape the front bumper (under part) sometimes as is...wouldnt a front lip make the bumper lower? I would cry if I cracked it/scraped it on a parking block. (Always keep in mind I am a chick, love BMW's but still a chick as far as driving )

Like the sliver grills --must be the only one out there who does....but will keep mind. May give more of a unique look that I want. NEVER seen a car in person with the black grills. And, I actually like the chrome \window trim also......mine is black. I see most of you desire the black trim! Interesting.

Need to look up "angel eye upgrade". No clue what that is.....muffler delete --no idea! Need to search them on the post/net and read up.

THANKS! I appreciate your time and will reflect on your suggestions if I can figure out what they are! hahah....

roof spoiler is nice
a definate NO on the tire wings or whatever they are called

[matte325ci]

there's alot of little things you can do to a car w/o going over board with spending alot of money first thing you wanna figure out is a theme and then you can start from there you usually wont find to many BMW's driving around. but you got to hit up the meets and rallys and you wont be disappointed

+1 ....Go for CF roof spoiler if you have a dark tint on the back windshield. That tire wing thing is hideous to say the least.

[Cinnamon]

OKKKK!! Get it! No tire wings!!!!! Hehe.....I am embarrasssed I posted the question!!!! Oops....


Theme......I have no theme other than "Classy sporty". Not too sporty.......just a tad.

CF roof spoiler.....was thinking going with spark graphite????....Not sure of CF afraid would take away from "classy" edge..........although I do LOVE my CF roundels..........I have a spark graphite trunk spoiler on now.....so maybe CF roof would be a nice mix? Or do you not mix and match?


This is good stuff guys....thanks.....


BTW--If any of you need help with, lets say, getting a stain out of a shirt or cooking a meal let me know! Heheehhe......that was bad! Ok-no more jokes....

muffler delete pretty much just cut off the muffler add some pipe and you pick some nice tips. quickest way to let someone know bmw is not like theirs.

i have a aerolip made of carbon fiber so i was very scared about the scraping issue but stock height its still goes over . as a precaution i always park in reverse or i still out really far

[Andrew@ET]

now my car looks like this.

cf mirror covers
vinyl black roof
black grill
carbon aero lip

with out the expensive lip i only spent about 300 bucks.
i just ordered cf roundels and painted side markers

[Andrew@ET]

do you have rings around your hids in your lights? if so you cna buy some bright leds that make it super bright and look great.

[nicknaz]

Wheels will have the biggest visual impact.

[Cinnamon]

Miami--Why did I get a nice smile at the Utube videos........fun!

Maybe muffler delete when I add the cold air in the spring. Good to know about "stock height" lip to avoid the scrape.

Yah, I try to park away from others also when I can. I have a wamper door ping or two that I could MURDER who ever did it!!! UGGGG! NO RESPECT for a nice car! Either park away or park by a fellow BMW!

[Andrew@ET]

i would go with the muffler delete over the intake since i have had both.. if your looking for sound since the dealer ship might give u some headache over an intake but the muffler they dont give a crap about. if you want more power get some intake scoops much cheaper and no hassle.

[Cinnamon]

Miami--I said "OHHHHHhhhhh" when I saw your car! Looks sharp. I always LOVE white cars......my traded in BMW (95) was white so I decided to do Spark Graph this time.....b** to keep clean......my NEXT BMW will be white!


Your front lip is really neat!!!!

SMART to get the CF roundels. I was surprised how great they looked. NICE!!!!! Worth every penny.....





Nick- yah...wheels.....I know that deep inside.....it is the bill that comes with great rims.....but yah, I REALLY notice all your great rims in the pictures......they make a big difference!

[Andrew@ET]

im buying rims now as well some linea corsa LM replicas about 2k with tires.

know what you mean about spending money this car is a lease lol, but i cant help it it begs to look different.

glad i made one girl go ohhhhhhhhh today lol

[Cinnamon]

Miami-- SMILE! "ohhhhhhh"

What will you do at lease end? Sell the parts you added on the car? Must be. OUCH......2K???.......That could be one hell of a diamond necklace Bet they look great though!

Need to Google "Linea Corsa LM". No idea what that is.....

I'd go for front splitters (carbon fiber or just painted ones), rear spoiler and perhaps also a roof spoiler.

[Andro07]

[Andrew@ET]
