Hi Guys!

I'm new to this forum so go easy on me! Just wana say thank you to all of you for helping me make my mind up as I was close to getting another Audi A4 (Previously had it as company car).

I have been checking out the forum a lot in the last couple of months, which has led to my first BMW, an 05 320d in red.

So far I have only done a few mods; Matt black grills, tinted windows and white led gauge clusters. Planning on getting some VMR 710's next

Sorry for some of the crappy iphone pics

welcome and congrats! thinking about the VMR's in blk??

RON1X · 04-04-2011, 05:27 PM

beautiful E90! I'm sure the US pre-lci owners will be jealous of those headlights

VMRs would be a great edition. Which model are you thinking?

Thanks!

I'm split between hyper silver and matt black. Most of my friends have split either way so i'm still undecided!

Thanks Ron1x. Might be a noob question but what's so special about the headlights? They are stock halogen headlights!

Looking at getting the 710's although the miro 111's are also very appealing.

Nice color and car! Congrats man.

sk8board511 · 04-04-2011, 06:45 PM

great looking car where did you pick up the lights for the gauges?

US cars are required by federal law to have amber reflectors on them, in the pre-facelift cars they are built into the light. Stupid I know.

congrats all the way from nj

TommyK · 04-04-2011, 10:36 PM

looking good. Some new rims would make a HUGE difference

yamazaho · 04-04-2011, 11:31 PM

Nice ride, cool dash!!!

7e90dan · 04-05-2011, 12:23 AM

why do the slats in your grill look crooked?

E90PAT · 04-05-2011, 12:26 AM

I love the color

Absolutely HATE those wheels, BMWs dumbest move (no offense)

Where did you get those grills from?

Gauges too!

Congrats and welcome bud!

kadolege · 04-05-2011, 12:40 AM

Nice... Yeah put on some dark wheels... Would look awesome with the red color...

SoCal BimMn' · 04-05-2011, 04:57 AM

Congrats and welcome!

sbce90 · 04-05-2011, 04:57 AM

Wheels will totally transform the car - make it the next mod for sure. Also where did you get the grills from? They're a bit more "stylish" than usual.

The clear amber rules!

Awesome, the car looks stunning in red! Nice grilles! Like how they slant inward!

Thanks for the comments guys!

I got the grills from a company here in the UK. I did order it with straight slats but only realised they are slanted after I fitted them. Wasn't too keen on them at first but they are growing on me!

I messed up slightly with the dash LED's. I saw someone do it in the DIY section and just bought the LED's with out proper research. Thankfully I managed to fit them with a bit of tweaking.
