One of the cleanest E90's. Looking forward to more photos!

Alen E90 · 06-04-2015, 11:49 AM

SGM+FR= soooo RARE!!!

Bro I can't stop drooling over your ride! The E9X chassis will never age IMO.

You're very lucky to have found this beauty, enjoy and thanks for sharing

Thanks!

Not too many floating around. Thank you!

I mean being a little bias never hurt anyone...

Magna Flow 3.5" Dual wall tips. Yeah I strongly dislike the stock rolled wall tips.

Thanks! It's a slippery slope, I have to be careful especially here at work

Thanks Bob! Hold it down for us back home. Everyone that came by the shop always stopped to check your car out and rightfully so!

Thanks!

Yeah this thing was unmolested luckily. I plan on keeping that up.

Thanks guys

They're OEM off of Sal's F80. Was testing out some new spacers, so I slapped em on for a few days.

Part number on the magnaflow tips? Thanks

Awesome car/pics... Good luck on the west coast Matt!!! I'm the guy with the very low mileage grey 330xi with M3 reps..

dlbrooks18 · 06-12-2015, 05:14 PM

Wow, sick ride love the wheels!

Matt@AUTOcouture · 06-18-2015, 11:28 AM

Thanks everybody! I appreciate the love. Yes it's an 2008 with low mileage

SheaButter · 06-19-2015, 03:07 PM

Pics like these make me almost wish I had gone with more of a color that was more vibrant instead of black. Looks great man!

skyw4lker808 · 06-19-2015, 05:07 PM

Absolutely beautiful, love it sir! Btw, how was it with the 437's and spacers? Fitment looks pretty damn cherry, but how was the ride?

But black when its clean looks amazing. Unfortunately as soon as you roll out of your driveway it gets dirty lol.

Thank you! It was great, the spacers we machined were flawless, so smooth. I was running 15mm all around and would've preferred to be more aggressive out back next time around I would've done an 18mm spacer in the rear. 15mm was perfect up front.

My RKP front lip just arrived from ACM East so I've gotta get that on and update this thread with photos, but in the mean time here's a couple more photos from last night.

Black is gorgeous when it's clean and detail, but near impossible to keep looking show quality. Metallic colors can have swirl marks and go unwashed for a week and look like they're perfectly clean, haha.

Plus I have noticed that having carbon fiber parts on a black car isn't quite as eye catching

B8bydesign · 06-25-2015, 08:47 AM

Car looks great man, love the color combo and the wheels

Amazing car! In fact I found the same one here in Canada back in March and am loving it. Mine is also sparkling graphite on fox red, 6spd. Here is a pic of mine...The tint is 30% and you can see through it but it looks darker in this pic.

jeff@autocouture · 07-09-2015, 03:58 PM

its alright

Went with BMW Edition front grill slats to darken the front. Kept the chrome surrounds to tie in with everything else.

checkmate · 07-14-2015, 04:55 PM

I'm in love with that car. Just STUNNING!

Any plans to do the Updated Nav Retrofit?
