Reintro: BMW 325i 2008 UPGRADE

mrtanz · 02-08-2011, 07:06 PM

Hi All

Thought i would re-introduce myself as i now have my car back from the smash repairs with the new bodykit
I am Anand (MrTanz)

So bought a 2008 325i E90 last September 2010 with 17,000kms on it. Now done just under 26kkms

Very stock, nothing upgraded engine wise
20% EMINEM tints
TV in motion module
M3 style bodykit from Euro Division

Wifey took these photos this morning when i got the car back after getting kit installed

nice man

..just add some hot wheels and shadowlines maybe

Jeef Beef · 02-08-2011, 09:01 PM

Get some wheels, blacklines and a performance exhaust (sounds SEX on I6 engines) and you'll be set

sbce90 · 02-08-2011, 09:07 PM

welcome again lol. +1 on everything jeef just said. Although quads would be nice to fill up the other side of the bumper.

John_01 · 02-08-2011, 09:14 PM

Very Nice. your car appears to be in great condition.

I'd also suggest getting some after market wheels to go with the body kit. The stock wheels are generally really heavy, so its not hard to get a performance gain.

cruvon · 02-08-2011, 09:15 PM

debadge too

..btw if you don't mind ,what did the paint job on the M3 kit cost?
Is the M3 kit the same material that the oem bumper is made of i.e the oem bumper is supposed to be made of some special material that takes slow speed impacts without cracking.

welcome, need proper photos soon!

I got it done through Insurance so basically i only paid $700 out of my own pocket to buy the kit and get it sprayed and fitted

But smash repairs quoted me $1200 sprayed and fitted. Senator Smash Repairs did the work. EXCELLENT guys there. did a great job.

Regarding materials it is PP (Polypropelyne). The differences are fibreglass with shatter on impact where plastic will just crack. Also with PP the bodykits are usally 99% fitting becuase they are done from a mould. But Jason from Euro-Division can give the details on the kit materials

..I should have done that last time somebody scratched my bumper. Didn't know you can pay insurance the difference if want go with something else

. Anyone knows if the material used in the oem bumper is Polypropelyne too?

Welcome!

TV in motion was $270 delivered from Germany
Works great, hasnt failed me once since i installed it
Regarding insurance: I informed insurance that i want to put a body kit on it so instead of paying the repairs they gave me a cheque and "cash settled" with me, then its up to me to get the work done.
