Hey Guys,

any experience buying stuff from here?.....planning to "bulk buy" parts from this site....

pardon my ignorance ...but i just converted to a bimmer... my 320i is 2010 and is the face lifted one with the extra lines on the hood and the all red taillights... is this referred to as the E90 "LCI"?

Thanks in advance

yeah thats an LCI


bimmian.com are good and have heaps of cool gear but it is a US website, and hence postage is usually fairly steep. but they are a well established and well regarded business.

let me know how you go with the Smoked Taillight vinyls. I couldn't find any for a reasonable price... most of them were over $70 or so before postage.

I decided to smoke mine myself... I haven't failed (yet) they just look a little unfinished right now.

You mean like you going to diy paint it? Yeah the vinyls cost round that much even locally.. Almost had mine done by my regular tinter when he came to do this car.. But the tint he had on hand was not good enough to fold into the curves.. We tried 35% and it looked good.. Might even go darker as the "reds" was still fairly visible and "reflective" enough imo to avoid defects
