My new e92 325i :p

Hey guys just thought i'd do a quick post on my recently purchased e92 had it about 4 weeks and still loving it, I have come from a 350z so a little down on power but up on everything else


Few mods iv'e done:
White led angel eye bulbs (sadly not the brightest)
Diamond black steering wheel trim to match dash
Led reg plate bulbs
Chrome exhaust tips

Mods iv'e got my eye on next:
Window trim wrapped black
Gloss black grilles
Spacers

Being an SE my car NEEDS lowering iv'e searched so much and can't seem to find a good combination in my price range leaning toward b4s shocks with eibach pro kit or possibly blistein b12

Most important bit - a few pics

Looks great!!!! Nice selection of mods so far and looks like you know waht you want next

For suspension.. the following are popular and proven. H&R Sport Springs on Koni Yellow Dampers, or if you want coilovers... BC Coilovers are a decent budget, but well performing kit.
HSD and KW start to get more expensive...and if you plan to hit the track up often, definitely grab a set of KWs

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

edit... I like that tvr in the background : Drool:

I picked up some cheapo ones from ebay for 30 quid they seem well made and fit nice and tight. We'll see how they hold up I guess..

Welcome over buddy and nice pics.

I came from an SE and went straight to BC BR coilovers. Lots of people on here have them with little to no complaints. They cost about £650 + labour, but by the end of it, not only do you have your self a decent and very safe set of reputable coilovers on budget, but also the flexibility to stance, ride height and damp adjustments.

Like the Aero Lip, blacked alloys and rear, but my personal preference is an M3 lip spoiler or Performance Spoiler. The first you can buy from ebay for about £50 from a guy called BC Moto from Taiwan. I and plenty of people have bought from this guy and this price is painted and delivered... there's not a lot out there to beat that price... fitment is spot on, not one single complaint.

That or contact Teddy at SSDD Motorsport re: Performance Spoiler. If you want to go coilovers, speak to P5 UML on here.. he can get a good price on BC Coilovers for you from Teddy as he has done for several other members.

Re lights... All I will say is the guy few posts above, Josh1a1h is the ONLY man you need to talk to about lights. He will do you a retrofit which will end up looking something along the lines of this... I just had to have them and the price is by far the most competitive, turnaround is damn quick and the guy is a helpful little angel with light matters....

No I'm not on commission for anything I've said, but just some friendly advice

Just some pics to show you the lights, it's brightness and sharpness, the M3 lip spoiler I had and the Performance spoiler I now have. Note, not putting up my pics to show off or a shameless self whoring act...

Keep the thread updated mate, really liking it so far... subscribed

Nice mate, welcome.

Looks like it came with a few mods already done then if the list above is all what you've done?

I have had a look at BC coilovers, could'nt find much feedback on them, maybe i did'nt look hard enough Main thing is I don't it to be rock hard especially with the 19 inch runflats. May seriously look into these though price seems good.

It probably had the aero package fitted from factory as it has the front lip, rear bumper and the spoiler.

Nice to see another 325i on here, welcome mate! You got an auto or a manual?

Really liking those wheels, think you need to get all that chrome wrapped to match them.

Is that the Aero rear bumper? Am liking that!

Cheers buddy, mine is manual. Yeah getting rid of the chrome is top of the list!
The wheels are the 230 style bbs twist refurbed in very dark metallic grey and yeah that's aero rear lip mate

Hi & welcome. Nice car. I'm also in the SE camp and looking to spruce up my 335i a little bit.

What LEDs exactly did you upgrade to?
