BMW E90 330D M Sport

Wow very nice example

[95Aero]

Perfect all-round car.

Surprised how heavy it is, as a comparison my Saab 9-5 Aero weighs 1520 kg.

Would you consider getting it remapped?

Mines a 325D and could benefit from a remap, but I have a 12 month warranty, so it'll be after that

Has already been mapped by emaps, pushing 275bhp and 600nm of torque. Really is a good all rounder, does 0-60 at around 6.2 seconds and easily managers 44+ mpg on the motorway

Giving it a wash over the weekend so will post some up when it's done

pics with the new wheels on

[95 fiesta si]

also thinking of changing the wheels again as these arnt growing on me.

[djdest]

They look a lot different than in the pic at the top of the page

[lewisf182]

Hate to say it but they don''t suit the car at all and IMO look quite chavvy.
I know its a common wheel but the CSL's really do suit this BMW generation of cars and look so so right. Failing that dare type alloys usually look decent.

Personal choice though I guess

[95 fiesta si]

I found some Zito Bellair deep dish rims I like

[cerb4.5lee]

For me the wheels can make a car and I also sadly don't think they suit it much, love all the other mods on it though very much.

What do you guys think of these ? Looking for something different that ain't CSL style

[djdest]

Bit too bling for me, I've CSL style on mine. Yeah it's a bit obvious but you'll struggle to better them

[95 fiesta si]

any other ideas ?

[95 fiesta si]

this shot looks very nice, pretty much the same wheels i started with, but LCI front, lower and no front plate

[djdest]

I think the wheels on it now would look much better if they were one colour rather than diamond cut face, and the car was lowered.
This is the difference mine made when I got the wheels sprayed anthracite instead of the diamond cut.

yes I think your right, off the car the polished face with the black inserts looked smart, once on, it just looked out of place.

If you can, grin and bare it until they either need a refurb or you give in and get them sprayed
My car came with the wheels already on, and I HATED them simply because I hate diamond cut finishes.
However, I knew they were a really nice wheel, so stuck with them.
In the end I couldn't live with them any longer so spent 300 quid and got them refurbed, best move I made!

If you post up a non fish eyed side on/angle photo of the car I can photoshop it lowered a little and them all one colour if you want
