My First Bimmer!

SilvrnBlk325i · 08-03-2010, 12:02 PM

Hey guys, thought i would formally say hello! I have been on the forums here now for a couple months. I bought my first BMW in June, Its a 06 325i, I have been in love with BMW's before i could even drive so to be able to finally buy one was a great experience for me!!

I did a few minor mods since buying, i put on a 5% Lumar Tint around the car with a heat shield tint on the front windshield (its damn hot here in vegas, tint makes a huge difference!) I debagded the 325i and bought Hella Clear Lens Tailights...I was torn between these and the blacklines, I know the blacklines are the fan favorite especially for the Tiag but i really like these clear lenses! but anyways here are a few pics after washing last nite,

Now time to save up for some wheels and gonna probably go with the M3 Spoiler, we'll see my mind changes on a daily basis with what i want to do next with this car!

Congrats on the car man. Hope you have a wonderful experience. Now let the modding begin (I'm just starting to mod mine as well).

py335 · 08-03-2010, 12:14 PM

congrats on the new car! and no i actually don't know why you debadged it. if it's cuz you dont want anyone knowing its a 325 or something then thats just stupid...

but again congrats!

Thanks! Naw didn't debagde it cause its a 325i just think it looks cleaner IMO. but i know that's the original feeling of why you would debadge this model!

BMCoupe_782 · 08-03-2010, 12:22 PM

Congrats, and welcome! You've got a great color.

Nice - shadowlines look good on a light colored car - esp with tint.
Wheels next. Something with a little shine will make that thing pop

Indeed, shadowline on TiAg looks sharp!

Yes, ditch the Style 156's (and don't get 161's)...

Something with a lip in a 17" would look nice, or go 18".

Stainless Steel Exhaust tips

You could probably find the OEM 330i ones.

Only a strip on the windshield and 35% is legal! Knock on wood. but i had this same tint on my car before and only got warned about the front windshield once!

Hey buddy,

I have the 2007 323i and it's black on black and it's very identical to yours. I love my beamer, it's so smooth. I am really liking your silver with tinted windows though. I am getting my tinted windows done in about a week or so aswell. I can't wait, tinting the windows changes how the car looks totally.

Thanks! Yea tint makes a huge difference! Plus, I like the privacy, I could flip someone the bird when they cut me off and they cant see me!
