New E90?

Pimp Star · 10-30-2007, 06:34 PM

I am thinking about getting a 2008 E90 328i Sedan, I used the BMW Configurator to create these images, hope you enjoy:

Specifications:

-Black Sapphire Metallic
-Black Leatherette w/ Aluminum Trim
-Sport's Package
-Aluminum Pedals

It will cost $35,355 configured like that; and I will also be adding a strut bar and other BMW accessories later on (maybe even an LSD and some engine mods).

Feedback, please.

Yes, I do not like the taillights. I want the E92 headlights with the E90 taillights.

magmd · 10-30-2007, 06:53 PM

I think it's from an older 325i, but 328's looks different.

I would NOT add the amber reflectors..they are terrible! I mentioned that because I think you will not have a choice. THEY WILL COME with them already....I was joking that your pic was missing them. I think you are better off without them!!!

e90-4aj · 10-30-2007, 07:02 PM

NO amber if you have the option

Pimp Star · 10-30-2007, 07:03 PM

Okay, can I order E90 headlights (from somewhere or somebody)?

Your best bet is ordering them WITH your car initially. Doing it after the fact is the problem. It will be a hassle, and alot more than $800.

oh....no, no. E90 is sedan. E92 is coupe.

You can order e90 headlights from dealer when you order your car...with XENONS..not halogen.

You cannot order e92 headlights to come with your e90. This was a custom conversion (see my links above). Your only option is doing everything I did to make them fit correctly.

or just order the M3 sedan.

Sorry. I meant E92 headlights. Okay, so, I am looking at ditching the Sport's package for KW V2 Coilovers.

I would not recommend that.

1. every1 loves the sports seats!!!
2. sports steering wheel is a must. Converting afterwards is $$$$

I understand you are going to swap out the suspension later...but those that have tried to get sports seats + sports steering wheel afterwards

I would just get the ZSP for now. Once you have saved money...then MUCH later get KW's.

Interesting. I am also looking at getting a used M3 or M5, I'm finding 300 horsepower M's for under $20,000.

The OP obviously used the configurator from a non-US BMW website. All US spec cars have auto climate control and amber reflectors as standard equipment.

True. One last question:

Would you guys chose an E90 328i (230hp, weights 3340lbs) or an E36 M3 (240hp, weights 3250 lbs)?
