E90: Not Tailored Enough

[SourSamo]

Thought I would start a build thread after lurking for so long.
This is my 06 BMW 325i;

A one owner 6-speed I've been slowly working on.
Over the past few months I have been working on the interior, adding the following;
BMW Performance steering wheel
BMW Performance SSK with alcantara knob and boot
3M DiNoc carbon wrap all wood trim
7" touch screen deck, relocating the climate control and heated seat controls


Externally I have added some carbon touches;
grilles
front splitters
CSL style trunk lip
Blackline tails


Up to now I thought it has been going pretty good, super excited to roll down to Tailored Seattle.
Disappointment set in after I was very quickly pushed to the secondary parking lot; obviously my wheels are far too common and stance is nowhere it needs to be.

Enter these




Tires are getting ordered and work will commence massaging the fenders to hopefully swallow these beasts. Sizes are 20x9 ET20 for the fronts and 20x11 ET25 on the rear.

lol at the thread title! glad getting sent to the general lot motivated you to step things up. if paired with some solid lows, the new wheels should totally transform the car.

looks good...what kind of color? Orientalblue?

[SourSamo]

^^ Monaco Blue

For a car of that color, new wheels and a drop can be complemented by removing ANYTHING remotely chrome on the exterior. I think I see some over the kidneys?

Otherwise, you will have fun fitting wheels of that width in those fenders. But once it's done, holy fuck, watch out.

The first shot was from when I picked up the car; the chrome grills have been replaced with carbon ones.
There is no chrome on the car but the wheels.
Luckily the rear inner fenders are fabric instead of plastic

They both smell nasty when you start scrubbing against them though

Looks really nice! I love the new rims

no, Varrstoen ES 5.5.2 dont look that bad and have a steplip. the old one was Miro wheels.

Good time for a bump I suppose;
Still haven't gotten the new wheels on but have collected a stack of other parts that will find their way on soon

[yurotrash]

Nice treats.

[stricker]

Awesome !!!

I'd love an airride too, but i'm afraid it get's too soft and not nice to drive at high speeds

[Semu]

Ummm, looking forward for this

[OneLowCivic]
