Nice car, pretty good spec too. I noticed that as one of the more reasonably priced 330d on Auto Trader. Unlike some others this one has not been for sale for too long.

Enjoy......

erm rear defuser, front bonnet grills, and front bumper splitter things..but only the ones that go on the bumper by the foglight grills...
im also gagging to get a csl boot for the e90 but cant seem to find ny anywhere?
also a bit of advice needed would lowering the car 60mm onto 18's be ok or is it advised to go 4--50mm on 19's?

Welcome and a beauty of a car, nice spec too! Jealous now hahah!

Blacklines are the rear lights, just slightly tinted! The most noticeable ones will be those inner white quarters which will be almost smoked/tinted.

Good luck and the pics coming in

ok after owning the car for a couple of weeks i decided it needed a couple of little mods to make it a bit different to the other le mans blue bmw out there..
i have ordered black grills but they have not yet turned up however
ok so first these goodies turned up

and these are the results



the rear does sit a bit higher than the front so i think ill take some of the adjusting device to gain a few more mm..
i have to say the last few weeks of having the car i have fallen in love with it...
i also had a detail yesterday and the results are phenominal pics to follow soon
