Show Me Your BMW!!!!!!!!!

[to3m]

I gave mine a sympathy wipe down on Monday. 10 plate LCI E90 330i that I bought last November.

Terrible phone camera hiding a couple of scuffs and dents, some orange peel paint, and loads of microscopic scratches if you look at the paint edge on in the sun - but at least no rust. A big improvement over my E46.





I specifically wanted a car with a light-coloured interior of some kind, and I wasn't too bothered what exactly, but over time I've really warmed to this specific Rover 75-style colour scheme.

I've had 2 E90s with that interior (wood included), love it haha

Love that picture, any clue on date/camera? Presume it wasn't originally digital

Hi E36Dan,

The picture is of Les Duex Alpes in the summer. Would you believe I used to attend a summer Snowboard training camp. Up early in the morning to the glacier! I think it was c. 1996-1998. The camera was an OM10

Funny I found the Eibach lowering springs that were used to lower the Compact at the weekend if anyone's interested.....

Style 5s are so damn cool. 90s tastic and look fab.

Hi Milky,

Thank you for your comments. Herer the cars spec.

That's a great spec. Mind if I ask you something about the seats. Assuming you fitted them, did you notice if they are any lower than the standard seats? I've got a 130i with fully electric and heated seats and just can't seem to get them low enough, really bugging me. I'd consider replacing them it it meant I could get them to sit lower. Cheers

Fantastic spec too!!

Mine is a standard 135i cosmetically, AW, but has the B1 Dynamics Package fitted.

Sorry, also forgot to ask if they are hight adjustable? I've asked my local BMW dealer but as they're no longer available they don't have a clue.

For those seats you’ll need extremely deep pockets these days.

It’s all about the resale value when man maths gets involved. They might be 4K to buy but you can sell them for the same. Agument hues for cars as well as seats :-)

Hi,

Thanks again for your comments....

The seats sit low on the runners, there is no height adjustment but there is rake adjustment. The position is perfect for me and yes they are very comfortable.... more so that the standard ones which I still have. The M performance seats will be removed when I sell the car so the plan is to recover the money and sell them separately, I think I got the Man Maths right. Yes they are very rare seats to try and source nowdays. Mine are in exceptional condition, they look and feel as new.

This one just looks awesome! Always loved those smoked rear light... they are.... 'Smoking...?'

Spent HOURS yesterday repainting my wheels in gloss black;

[BornRageFree]

Already posted in the 6 pot bearding thread, but seems rude to leave everyone else out so here she is... pre LCI e91 325i Msport (N53) in Le Mans Blue (Edit: no, no it isn't. Individual spec, bluewater metallic) . Reg'd december 07. The dealer photo from when I got her in april -


And a picture from the other day, as she sits now -


Only changes so far are a set of Heko wind deflectors and the black grille. I have some smoked side repeaters waiting to go on as well but that's it for now. Can't justify the price of darkline rears!

Lovely, but that isn't Le Mans blue is it?
