I joined the Bimmer Club! What are the "must have" mods?!

Xeloj · 11-13-2007, 01:16 AM

I'm picking up a brand new 328i Black Exterior, with black interior, Navigation, Bluetooth/IPOD, and sunroof on Wednesday. I even paid the extra $25 for the Chrome Exhaust.

This is my first car that I've ever bought and I'm pretty excited about it.

What are the "must-have" mods for the E90 experts out there? The only thing I can think of is getting my windows tinted. Anything else?

Links and pictures appreciated!!

So change the silvery grill to black? That might actually look pretty good!

What are blacklines?

Also, are Brembo brakes worth it?

LOLrance · 11-13-2007, 01:53 AM

first mod i'd get is the

mod so you dont get

.

But +1 for matte black grills + blacklines + debadge.

sambonator · 11-13-2007, 02:23 AM

Chrome wheels on black cars look good, if you like the bling.

typeszh · 11-13-2007, 02:26 AM

Blacklines, Tint, drop, wheels.

congrats on the new car! why dont you try and make it out to the tustin meet on wednesday?

first mods besides tint, should be, like what everyone else is saying, black lines and black grills!

maybe later you can get some wheels too and possibly lower your car

.

SpecC · 11-13-2007, 04:49 AM

blacklines are a must

i get bagged on all the time for not having them. it's horrible

AK · 11-13-2007, 07:18 AM

Congrats on your car and welcome!
Yes blacklines and 15mm rear spacers if you´re sticking with the OEM wheels.

Xeloj · 11-13-2007, 09:36 AM

Okay, I'm going to go for 35% tint (that's legal in California right?), and black lines. I'll do the rest later.

Aww, you guys meet on a weekday? Is there any chance you guys do Weekend meets? I had to get special permission from my producer to even pick up this car.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Any tint on the front windows in california is illegal. But for the rear windows, you can tint as dark as you want.

Wassup Brandon! Nice meeting you yesterday. When are you installing your side skirts?

Also, did John get the black vinyl tape?

e92phreak · 11-13-2007, 03:59 PM

Do you have an E90 or E92? If E92, you REALLY NEED the LongTran painted reflectors.

If you have an E90, either tint the amber section of your front lights or get euro lights.

FaintReality · 11-13-2007, 07:28 PM

drop / wheels / matte black kidney grille / matte black lower bumper grille / color matched reflectors / tint / matte black window trim / de-badge / door handle key hole cover

soph1aa · 11-13-2007, 08:40 PM

FOR SURE get color matched reflectors. many people get it from "LongTran". and i like to debadge. makes the car have a cleaner look.

ianbiz · 11-13-2007, 11:27 PM

if you have a 325 or 328 debage.
color matched reflectors, blacked out grills, black lines, tints are just the basics.
