Hi Guys,

Been lurking around abit finally posting pictures of my ride, 2006 E90 6MT 325i Black Sapphire Metallic.

After owning a Audi A4 B6 I thought it was time to see if the grass is greener on the otherside, and after a visit to BMW HQ in Munich I decided to try out a manual beeemer.

I searched far and wide for one within my budget and well equipped which led me to Adelaide. It is still the best equipped for price and km on carsales today. The Drive back was great fun!




Got some custom plates.




Began to mod exterior
-40W CREE White LEDs
-Gloss Black Grille
-Smoked indicators
-M3 Steering Wheel
-M Sport Shifter
-F10 Style LED Smoked Tail Lights
-GTC GT-CX Glossy Black 18''



Not interested in modding engine as its enough for me for now (P plates ), Looking at a E92 M3 in the future. The car is a great cruiser and looks great for its Age.

Future mods
- Painted Callipers
- Alphine Sound upgrade
- Move to CCC or potentially CIC
- Folding Mirrors
- General Coding mods
- Darker tint


Yesterday took it in to get a M3 rep bumper, M3 side skirts and Mtech rear fitted and painted

If you see me around hit the horn, Im keen to put some faces to names

Welcome! Love the squashed insects look haha. You should consider a PE too, they sound really good on the 6cyl motors.

Looks very nice and thanks for sharing. I am curious to research the Cree LED upgrades when I get a chance. What do the 40W ones actually replace?

Very nice car to be driving around with green p's.

Update


M3 kit installed.

Fitament was good but a small problem with the headlight washer, the factory headlight washer is under pressure at all times but the new M3 front bumper which has the washers does not have the pressure valve on it. So when I am driving on a decline water will come out of the headlight washers. I dont really used them very much so I am thinking I will block the pipe with something so I can still used the windscreen washer.

But Overall Good fitment and great service from Jason at Eurodivision.

So Kit is

M3 front
M3 skirts
Mtech rear single outlet

Black with M3 skirts look great compare to stock which I had before.
The M3 rear which would normally come with the body kit looks ricy Im not trying to pretend its an M3 I just prefer the styling of the M3.





Also you can see my F10 Style LED tail lights with black out reversing section. They freshen the look for the car and look great at night. They were a major pain to install though and I put silicon to ensure that they are water tight due to the shit fitment .








I want to do a nice photo-shoot sometime.

Next mod will be painted calipers

Looks Noice man!!

where did you get the install of the M3 bumber and skirts done and how much is it all painted and fitted?

I have the same tail lights and it does let water in... too late for me but good idea to silicon the edges

Cheers mate. I see that seller has a few different LED halo's. Are you happy with them?

[Maverick27]

Yeah They are pretty good, no flickering or errors, they are very bright as well.
