Yeah I've heard that too. The softer sidewalls help I think.

Just personal preference I suppose... might look better on a black car but not for me....

Thinking about selling the bmw as I'm now doing short stop start journeys and its not good for the diesel or its dpf as it doesn't get a chance to do a full regen. So I'm looking at the following options (petrol so I don't need to worry about DPF's!)... Need something that won't cost me a...

Thanks mate. The lights were only 150 quid and definitely freshen up the rear. The independent BMW garage owner liked them so much he asked me where I got them and has fitted them to his cars and advertised a fitting service for them.. Hopefully get my car back tomorrow but I'm just wondering...

Thanks mate. I was thinking about dpf removal and a remap but I've heard they are tightening up on this for mot's. Plus the owner of the garage said he used to do them a lot but he says that he got sick of the clouds of smoke off them after they were removed.

Bit of an update... The dpf warning light came on which is my fault... I have only been doing short stop start journeys recently and have been too busy to take the car for a good motorway blast. Maybe I should have bought the 330i instead! Anyway luckily I got the car with a years warranty...

I dont really understand the trend to make the front grills black tbh... I think it cheapens the front and makes it look like a bog standard 4 cylinder bmw. The chrome grills tell people in front of you that you have a six cylinder... :wink: Nice car though. I've always liked these wheels...

Thanks mate I'm quite impressed with the rear lights for only 150 quid. One of the angel eye leds isnt as bright but I've been sent out a replacement set. I live in Glasgow. I don't think the car was really looked after cosmetically before I bought it but it has been maintained well mechanically..

I think I may need to look at getting someone to try machine polishing the paintwork as there are loads of imperfections such as bird droppings that have damaged the paint, scratches and hazing all over the car. I will also need to buy a clay bar as the paint feels really rough.

Then (172 cup from new) Now (E90 330d)

I know and there was a red one outside the concours which i have put a picture up of as well.. I spent the whole day drooling at the quality of the machinery!

Managed to fit the new rear lights this afternoon which only took about 30 mins! They are the same style of the lci facelift lights although the bootlid lights are a slightly different shape. Quite impressed with them for the price I paid and I think it really freshens up the back of the...

Yeah it couldn't have been much better Imo. The range of cars and condition of them was unbelievable. I've only put up a fraction of them. Yeah I quite liked the project 7 f type but it wasn't in the same league as the new lightweight racing e-type beside it IMO. I can't believe how much...

Thats it for now. I'll put up comparison pictures on the new led rear lights when they are fitted. Cheers

And finally I gave my pipes a quick polish as they were annoying me... I'll spend some proper time on them at the weekend.. Before After
