NJ_e90 · 08-17-2012, 04:31 PM

wats up guys today i just purchased my black 2009 328i x drive sedan.
I am very excited to start some work with this car and need some ideas.

first things first im a noob so bare with me

i just ordered l.e.d bulbs for the angel eyes (from what i understand it is a very simple process putting them in?)

and im thinking going 20 percent tints all around i dont want it to look too tacky is 20 too dark?

and finnallyyyy lol i have some money put aside for wheels because the ugly 17's are not going to cut it lol. the 1m wheels im really feeling right now.

feel free to add suggestions thanks and sorry for long post

Hmm the angel eyes for the e92 are very easy but for the e90..... I'm not really sure.

Anyway congrats and welcome!

Congrats on your new E90 and welcome!

I don't think 20 is too dark. There are plenty of people around here with 5% so I think you're good. There are DIY guides for changing AE bulbs.

Congrats and welcome.

I also have 15% tint and I also use the BMW front window shade when I'm parked; between the 2 it really helps keep the interior from getting too hot.

Congrats and welcome!

The angel eye upgrade is fairly simple on the E90 but you do need to remove the two front wheels to do it. Let me know if you need any advice I'll be glad to help.
