Ordering mods. Need your opinion.

Hi everyone,

I have a black 325i. I'm getting the Oem spoiler, roof spoiler, front grill, and front splitters for my car. I want to get all in CF but I don't know if I'm going over board on the CF. I just need your opinion if you guys think it'll look right. I know it's my car in the end but I just need some input from you guys. In the future I might get a Hartge lip or M-tech bumper as well. My concern also with getting the CF oem spoiler is if it will look right with the M-tech bumper. Or maybe I should get a different spoiler to mesh better with the M-tech. I jsut havn't seen any black E90s with an M-tech kit and an oem spoiler. Any advice would be greatly apprecaited. Much thnx

Order it up bro, post pics when finished! Should flow real nice. I dont think cf looks bad on jb at all, some will disagree on here tho. Worst case scenario, you dont like, sell to me - for cheap!

I would skip the extra spoilers, especially the roof spoiler. If you really ant to change up the rear, get a CSL trunk.

la0ninja7816 · 06-23-2009, 01:12 PM

I agree with you on the roof spoiler. I'll pass on that. But you really don't like the OEM style spoiler? I think it looks very clean on the car for some reason.

I'm not a fan of big honkin' spoilers on cars. I do like the M3 lip, but on the E9x I feel like it's too understated. That's why I like the CSL.

As you get more aggressive with your other mods (performance), get more aggressive with the styling. I always thought cars with stock wheels, and unlowered with 30 cosmetic mods looked silly. I dont see anything wrong with the OEM spoiler, but try not to over-do the carbon fiber stuff. Keep it tasteful and classy.

your right. I'm gonna leave the roof spoiler out. I think I'm going to get the oem spoiler painted and get the CF splitters, grill, emblems, and blackline tails. I think that will go well together. Any suggestions on lowering kits? I'd hate to mess with the smooth ride by dropping it but I like the look of the E90s dropped. I hear H & R lowering kits are very good.

Definitely get coils if they are in your budget, preferrably dampening adjustable ones. If not, look into H&R Sport springs, the drop is nice without being overdone.

kingka · 06-24-2009, 01:41 AM

i would be careful with just dropping them on H&R springs. i read on another thread that a lot of people were experiencing their shocks going out within 6 months. there is no cheap way to lower, the 2 cheapest i found were H&R cup kit and bavarian. if you want recommendations on pricier kits, bilstien pss10's are highly regarded, they are a little more than double the H&R cup kits though.

also, JB and CF...i don't really like that combo. I'd def get the m-tech front lip, get the painted spoiler, skip on the roof, don't get the CF grill, that's ghetto looking. def get the blacklines.

Spydeputy · 06-24-2009, 07:10 AM

pass on the roof spoiler, but think about adding CF mirror covers.

la0ninja7816 · 06-24-2009, 08:46 AM

I'm getting the oem spoiler painted for sure. What do you guys think about CF front splitters? Anyone have pics of a jet black e90 with CF front splitters by chance? I'm trying to get can an idea of what the CF fiber and the jet black looks like together.

Mike@F1 Autohaüs · 06-24-2009, 02:07 PM

CF front splitter will look fine on Jet Black. It'll give some contrast when someone's up close staring at the CF weave pattern

la0ninja7816 · 06-24-2009, 09:13 PM

Ok I'm getting the splitters. Thanks for the advice guys
