BMW 325i Individual Update

[Karthik]

Hey guys , so today I embarked on a full on wash of my car . Thought I'd also update you guys with what I've done to her since I got her in January this year .


This is her interior at the beginning



This is her interior now , spot the difference ? Hope you do :rollsmile:



Next is

She had broken front foglamps , I looked for OEM could not find so went with clear ones .








Next I also changed the exhaust tips and had a decat done . Sound is quite addictive now :joy:







And a final picture of her I love





All together since I got the car at 72k km

I have added
Polished
Sub and Amp in boot . Normal Sony Xplod 12" and a Calibra Monoblock .
New Foglamps
Decat
Exhaust Tips
Armrest

Its altogether not much I know but my student budget doesn't stretch so far . I have put on 10k km and all I have to say is I love my car . :inlove:

Looking good so far, now remove the numberplate holders and swap the front beading to the one without the numberplate holder.

Yup thats my plan bud , but I was thinking just doing what Gizmo did and cut the number plate holder at the top so I can still stick the number plate from the top 2 screws.

Cool, it really improves the look of the front end massively.

Thanks alot guys , for this December to January holiday I plan to do the following :

-Front Number Plate Holder Removal
-BBS 19" LM reps , staggered , but don't want the SA ones with the black in the middle , want the clean look , full silver and not chrome . Asked Shaheen from the wheelshop but not certain he understood what I meant .
-Put a proper box for my sub in the boot so it looks decent .

Yup , haha , not so big but I kinda wanted it and when Hybrid on the forum got one I bought it . It is not of the best quality though , has a few scratches whereas the rest of the interior has none . Was a hassle to fit DIY too .

Thanks

Scratches on the plastics or is it on the soft coated bits? Maybe there is a place that can re-coat the finish. Not sure, but worth a try. Soft touch coatings are a pain, especially on the E90!

Thanks for the advice , it is the soft coatings , at the bottom of the armrest , and it is a pain .

It was for sale , but I never moved to UK at the end so got to keep her . :rollsmile: I got best offer of R155 000 . Which was not bad at all but we kept her .

Looking hot man! Your cars colour is wicked, you don't see it everyday if at all:thumbs:

Thanks bud , our cars are both E46 sedans but yours is the beafed up version super hot and mine is more quiet but also super hot I feel . :joy:

Just looking at your signature pic - messing metallic is an odd but awesome colour! Looks fantastic in daylight!!! :thumbs:
