Question More aggressive look for my car?

Hey forum, I'd like your opinion on something. I want to give my 2010 328i a more aggressive / sporty look to it. I'd love for some recommendations on mods to achieve this. I also love the alpine white and black combo on the car. If you all can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it

if you don't want to change the bumpers, go with front splitters, some kind of spoiler and lowering springs

I was thinking of eventually changing the front and back bumpers and a rear diffuser.

Install some H&R sports springs and some Koni yellow shocks to drop it without slamming it

New front and rear bumpers and side skirts will also give a far more aggressive look IMO

Hmmm, a stud conversion kit and hub centric spacers if you want to stay on these wheels. Maybe get black and white roundels.

- tint (if not already done - can't tell)
- front splittters (or M sport bumpers)
- black rear deck M3 spoiler
- drop
- spacers (15 or 20mm) on rear, 5-10mm on front. You'll have to measure and check
- painted side reflectors
- ditch the navi and go back to original radio (just my preference)
- go drive

Awesome suggestions thanks! I ordered side reflectors and they arrive cracked so I returned them and waiting for a new pair. I am thinking of getting a new front and rear bumpers and a diffuser, any recommendations in the type of bumpers?

If you are willing to spend money, get the M sport (not M3) front and rear bumpers. If you don't want to spend a lot, spend $200 or so and get a really nice set of splitters for the front. Not as nice as the M sport, but definitely better than the stock bumper.

You might spot a style perfect for the look you want

Maybe some Xenon headlamps?
Either OEM or custom. Does ALOT for the cars appereance when its dark.

If thats outside your budget, replace the halogen bulbs with Osram Cool Blue Intense or Phillips Bluevision bulbs to get that HID/Xenon look without being "ricey"

The roof black would look pretty good! What do you mean the mirrors?

With the black roof, I think you could do your exterior mirrors in black as well...something like this...found it on google, but it was posted here on e90post...

I do think you need to get more of an aggressive stance and something to your front bumper to pull off the mirrors...but the roof to me is a must.
