Greetings from new e90 owner
Hi,
I just wanted to drop by and say hi to the general forum members. I recently purchased a 2008 e90 335xi about a month ago and spent the past month putting on a few mods for the car. Before this car, I had a 2007 328i (bone stock) which I was very pleased with, but lacked power. I also want to say thank you to the vendors (especially Brandon @ **********s.com and Anthony @ A&L Autobody in Palatine, IL) who gave me great price on the mods/installation and also the e90post community for providing valuable information (search button ftw!) Please check out the pictures and let me know what you think! Thanks for looking! |

Did the car come with the aerodynamic kit installed? Looking to get one soon I'd love info on how you got the best price for painting + install!

Thank you guys for the warm welcome!
Just to answer your questions: The make is Alufelgen and the model is CS7. They also have SF-71s which are more concave. I bought them through Brandon @ **********s.com. Quote:
I called several body shops locally in my area, and they were all expensive. Also, most of them sent the body kit to another shop for painting. But after searching through the forums I was referred to A&L Autobody which is located in my town (I didn't even know). They specialize in BMWs and are quite renowned in Chicagoland for this. Their price for installation for the body kit + coilovers were unbeatable. I hope this helps. |

Thanks. That looks great. If you don't mind could you tell me the price you paid for painting and installing the entire body kit? If you'd prefer not to post here you can email me at ndukyh@gmail.com since it seems you can't PM yet. I'm hoping to have this done in the next couple of months and want a better idea of what price range I should be looking at for painting and installation since the kit I know is $1500 shipped from Tischer.

very nice car and very nice wheels. Thank you for not getting black wheels. Makes me think of the cheaper cars that come with black steel wheels that people throw a hubcap on or a test mule.
