Really like the wheels, cant help but think it might have looked better as a 3 door though - but thats just me.

Love the wheels, and totally disagree the saloons look far better than the coupe. Unless it's an M3 the coupe just doesn't look meaty enough. Not sure about the grill though OP.

tucks

Looks pretty nice that, the saloons have always sat a bit better on big wheels than the coupe's IMO.


(oh, btw, someones vandalised the front left corner of your bumper................)

I can't find your original post either, within the last 500 days confused

Looking good now with the front bumper spoiler etc, I think genuine front grilles painted black and black-line rear lights would finish it off perfectly but I like keeping my BMW's OEM!

Why no specs?



Looks nice though, apart from the sticker.

Judging by the exhaust it's a 6cyl.

lovely car, apart from the chav stickers

could do with a nice after market rear box or system, shiny chrome pipes would look good with the black paint work

Thanks for the nice comments guys, the car is a 318d 4cl mapped to 170bhp, you probably could have guessed from the diesel reek all over the exhausts lol. I knew stickers would be marmite but a lot of my mates part of the 'dub scene' so i blame that.

Basically finished modding the car, last thing im going to do is put yellow film over the fog lights, seen that done on a few E90s and thought it looked pretty cool.

If you look at the original pics you can see the single tailpipe.

Nice car mate, love the wheels-are they CSL ones?

How can you afford such a car at the age of 22 without either begging from parents, drug dealing, loan sharking etc

Half decent job? Don't ruin his thread.

Nice car apart from the stickers. I like the e90s tempted by a 330i saloon but they hold their value really well compared to say a 2.5t Mondeo. How do you find it goes? There is a 118d at work and I'm always dissapointed in how slow it feels. The car isn't actually that slow it just feels like it for some reason.

IMO the car would benefit from some factory tinted rear lights as fitted to some e90s recently. Unsure what model but appears to be some sort of sports pack on white cars with black highlights.

What a moronic question, I know it is normal in certain egotistical circles, to ask how much people earn etc. but it is the height of bad manors, and in this context means fk all.

i suggest you find another thread to inject your deep wisdom.
