I just order the gloss black grill. I'm also debating whether or not to get new wheels. Maybe if I see a good deal I will jump on it. Coil overs?? we shall see..

Congrats man! I have been driving BMW's for 35 years and almost left, but the 330i I just bought I really like! I am constantly cleaning whatever BMW I have owned, and black and white are both a challenge, but black looks the best at dusk when it is perfectly clean. I like my white at night after the sun sets! Congrats again. Have fun. Just drive it and then like all of us who are anal, clean it!

That black grill will look perfect on the white. I actually like the wheels that came with the car, but I would like to put some better tires on. I cant stand the run flats.

I need a little more turbo spool as well, so I'm going to add that BMS intake and see if it helps.

I used to have a Dodge Stealth RT/TT and miss the BOV sounds

thanks. I love driving it so far. It's getting me out of the house more which is much needed. I do wind up spending a lot of time cleaning it but I don't really mind. That's part of the obsession.

Exactly...and yours will be the best looking one around because of it! I had guys asking me if my E90 was new when it was 7years old because I am anal about it.

I ordered the BMS intake today out of boredom. Plenty more boredom purchases to come, its how i cope. 19 inch wheels seem to help with some of the wheel gap issues on the xdrives, I may have to look into that as well.

DarkStarBimmer · 02-16-2018, 03:45 PM

I really need to find some 19in wheels to help fill the gap. I look like I'm going 4X4'ing

Congrats looks gorgeous!

DarkStarBimmer · 02-18-2018, 01:56 PM

Hi guys. I got around to throwing on the BMS intake today.

Am i right to assume the front engine cover does not go back on when using hte BMS? Seems I would have to cut a small piece of it to fit around the bracket of the intake.

If I am missing something please let me know!

thank you.

I'd lower it first and do wheels later. BTW, I Put 255/40's on my 18" rims all around and it did wonders for the looks.

DarkStarBimmer · 02-22-2018, 09:22 AM

today I'm dropping her off to get window tint, paint correction, and CQuartz.

I'm starting to think that Arizona isn't the smartest place for an open element air filter. We have so much sand/dust, and regularly see temps from 100-120.

I love the sound the BMS air filter gives the car, but come summer it might be a different story. I think I may change it out for a regular drop in.

it does change the look with the different sized tires. Def something for me to keep in mind when I finally get a chance to address it.

Nice lookin ride!

DarkStarBimmer · 03-07-2018, 10:38 AM

Looks like the Bimmer will be sitting in the garage for a while.

I'll be getting a lumbar spinal fusion tomorrow morning and won't be driving for a while

I just washed it for the first yesterday, since applying Cquartz the week before last.

I know its off topic, but its my thread....

Anyone ever have a spinal fusion? I'm sorta freaked.
