2009 BMW E90 UK build thread

I think your setup is decent just the idea of getting e90 aired isn't appealing to me.

I really love the wheels though!

Nice build so far. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

This is going to be so good.

Thanks

I am quite excited for this one, haha

how much did the bbs and air suspensions cost you?

Don't know the exact figure but it's over 5k. Would of been even more if I hadn't fitted the air myself etc

Although not too crazy about the air considering your wheel choice (and their setup) I am sure it will look awesome!

Can't wait to see it done!

You think the setup is poor or just the idea of air in general?
Thanks for the compliment I'm trying to get them on the car for a test fit ASAP I **** waiting on deliveries

Yeh I suppose having orange to start off with would make the lci lights look even better but I think having the halos just makes a bmw IMO. Thanks for the compliments I'll try and keep this going as best I can with updates! Was thinking about a black grill and smoked head/tail lights opinions anyone?

I have the LCI headlights and they completely changed the look of my car, your maybe not so much due to the fact that you already have clear corners. Also the wheels look awesome! I cant wait to see this project finished! I wish I was RWD so I could stagger my set up!

Well first thread on here so thought I'd write up my progress with my 2009 pre lci bmw e90 330d. Bought the car completely standard in April and wanted to leave It that way after buying a house etc but the modifying/stance itch needed scratching so here I am! All pictures are off my iphone as I have no money to buy a camera so please excuse the quality!

Standard car with a quick clean:




Then fitted some HIDs and pressed plates along with some interior mats (oh the excitement)





And basically used it like that for 6 months. But then after not touching the car for so long I had to do something so ordered airlift v2 management with 5 gal tank and two 444 viair compressors along with some airrex struts and some BBS RF wheels.






Still waiting on the struts but for now the installation in the boot is complete and I've gone for a minimal look nothing fancy there!

And the wheels






And my professional splitting machine


And the only bits I needed


Centres went away to be powdered graphite grey but later I changed my mind and went with bmw mini pepper white and I ordered stepped up lips to make them 18x9 and 18x10







Just finished sealing them tonight and waiting for the hexs to come back from the painters and that's where I am at the moment!

Other plans are arches rolled, lci headlights, dpf delete and remap and maybe a dash swap and I drive.

Rate or **** and thanks for looking!
