Transformation of my e90 330xi!

Konrad218 · 11-19-2013, 07:16 PM

This is my BMW 2006 330xi. A lot has been done to it in the past year. The first thing I did was plastidip the stock wheels black. I also matched the grill by plastidipping it black.
I took the plastidip off because I got bored of it and then tinted the windows. I got M3 replica wheels for it ( 17x8 all around).
I had them for a couple months but didn't like them after a while so then I picked up some re-finished Style 95 wheels ( 19x9 Front and 19x10 Rear). I think these look great on the car.
I have an injen intake, muffler delete, and an Active Autowerke tune for performance.
I got D2 coil overs after I got the M3 reps. I'm pretty sure these were made for the i version though because the front coils are all the way down on the treads and still have a 2 finger gap.
The first picture with the Style 95s on, the car was sitting on stock suspension. I decided to put back the D2 coilovers to minimize the wheel gap. The rake kills me though.
I am planning to get KW V1 coil overs in the next few months and wanting to go tucking tire low, blackline taillights, and a front lip.

i like the build! beautiful color and 95s! i don't really dig the euro plate or the chrome window trim tho.

The 17 m3's looks really good! At first, i thought it would look really small. but not bad!

Thanks! And the euro plate is just to cover up the holes in the bumper. I tried plastidipping the chrome trim, but it didn't work out so well lol. I don't like it either

Thanks, they don't look that small because the car is lowered in the pictures

For some reason when I saw the word "transformation" in your title, I was expecting more than your pasti dipped stock and 17" M3 wheel stage LOL...

But I do like the style 95 wheels, looks nice. The rest is meh.

Once you lower the car, I suggest the first thing you do is get rid of that stock front bumper! PRE LCI E90 bumper is just ugly.

Was thinking about doing OEM splitters with a Hamann style lip, sort of a "double lip"

DC_Oldboy · 11-19-2013, 08:54 PM

Nah. Just replace it with M3 or M Sport bumper. It'll be worth the wait and money.

That was my first setup when I first got into modding and wasn't happy with the result. It looks cool at first but you'll soon realize it looks boo boo. Lol
