What kinda help/suggestions/pointers you are looking for????

Welcome.

MsportNorway · 07-23-2010, 02:51 AM

Congratulations, and welcome...
If you search the threads here you can see whats "hot'n not"

Wheels, a drop, m-tech, grilles, tinting, blackline rear lights..
I would start of with a drop, and some good looking wheels..19" or 20"s
If you're going in that direction...

MassBimmer · 07-23-2010, 07:57 AM

Good lookin' car, congrats!
Start small, maybe some matte black grilles and tint
If you want something bigger, maybe a set of rims
Looks like you're on sport suspension so ride height should be ok for a while unless you want to go lower

djdskzl · 07-23-2010, 10:18 PM

not really tryin to go with the whole racing style, more lookin towards clean, dont wanna dump it, and some quality sound, maybe a new trunk and led tail lights, sounds kind of corny?

djdskzl · 07-23-2010, 10:21 PM

Deep dish rims VS regular, LED tail lights VS smoke, and also a good place for wheels, im goin for the all BLACK look

Belarus · 07-23-2010, 10:51 PM

Congrats & Welcome !

uh i may be wrong but i think all black kinda goes along with racing style. Maybe just a set of lm reps and a drop to start if you want simple and clean!!

but congrats on car. Your going to love it

djdskzl · 07-23-2010, 11:46 PM

LoL yeah i guess yer right, my first question would be, would the 325i look goofy wid 18s and/or 19s without lowering it?

E92-Lighting · 07-24-2010, 02:54 PM

m3 lip spoiler with matte black grilles to start things off

OwnAge · 07-24-2010, 05:04 PM

Welcome and Congrats. Clean ride.

All good suggestions above. Just be active on this forum. You'll learn allot about e90s and will know exactly wat you want to do with your car.

CarleeSWE · 07-24-2010, 05:43 PM

If I were you I´d go for some lowering springs before I even think of changing anything else. Then some 19" wheels, frontlip and blackline tails

Wake27 · 07-24-2010, 06:27 PM

I'd probably consider a drop as "racey." I think 18 or 19s would look fine on yours, search around here and see what you can find. I'd definitely suggest black grilles, tint, blackline tail lights, and ambergones to start. Search the forums here for them if you don't know what they are, tons of stuff on all.

im sorry, but i think its totally played out on this forum. it's your car and you can do whatever it is that you want. my personal opinion is that it's done way too much on this forum. good luck and congrats.

Tallest · 07-25-2010, 03:44 PM

black grilles, LCI halogen headlights, M3 lip spoiler, Black CSL reps, tint, blacklines (nonLED, go for OEM quality!). That would be a start. Later you can get Mtech kit, mod the inteior with some goodies, and a meaty exhaust - 325i isn't really a rocket but it still has that nice soundtrack you can bring out with Eisenmann or something similar.

For the record, I don't like the black out look and would keep rims silver or anthracite.

Sody · 07-25-2010, 03:45 PM

+1 to matte black grills, cheap, does alot for little money IMO

mattburch · 07-25-2010, 09:04 PM

nice ! it all depends on how much you want to spend but..
some tint, black kidneys, blacklines, euro headlights, and mtech would look good

Chewy734 · 07-25-2010, 09:11 PM

Congrats! Don't let the mod bug bite too hard!

djdskzl · 07-26-2010, 03:14 AM

appreciate all the help
