Hey Vid, I\'m getting hot... about BMW, you perv. So if you\'d like, couldn\'t you post some pics of your BMW for us to see? :)
-
I was talking to Vid on aim and it seems he just got a new body kit for his 330i, take a look:

I kinda like the original look better but at least this one will get some chicks.
-
I love the tail on that thing. God, could you imagine if someone really did that to their car.
-
I know this is a bullshit post so you can play with photoshop. Have fun biatch...
-
Those are some sweet wheels vid, are they 18"?
-
17" stock wheel that are with the performance package.
I HATE THEM.
BMWs are notorious for being terrible with brake dust on their stock pads.
Literally I can clean them, go around the block and they are dirty.
WAY too many spokes to clean. I would like to get some that are more open and easier to deal with.
But they are pretty when they are cleaned I agree. It just sucks it doesn\'t last long.
-
Very very nice.. *drool*
I love em beemers!
-
Vid, the wheels aren\'t that bad, look similar to the EVO 6 wheels.
-
No no Vid, this was certainly a thread made out of genuine interest. I love dem BMW\'s.
I think I\'ll get a 320d sometime. Black or silver metal... yum! :D
-
vid u should get this alloy (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.style-alloys.co.uk%2Fbmw-m3-2Z.jpg&hash=d871ba5db607b191818084dc80a0d8dd1b4160c7) :)
btw r those lights bi-xenons?
-
Vid, you really should take the car back... the stearing wheel is on the wrong side.
-
95% of the wolrd drives on the right side of the road with the drivers side on the left side of the car. Aussies are not only on the wrong side....they\'re at the bottom end of the world. ;)

I have xenons on the main lights, but not the high beams.
One thing that is really cool on the BMW is the lights are self leveling. They actually move when you turn on the key. Then as you go fast they raise so that you can see further. I thought that was interesting.
Sammy, if you want to go fast, get a 330. Heads and tails faster than the 328, 325, etc.... Still not an M motor, but it will throw you into your seat stock. Once my warranty is up I\'ll probably add a bit more power to it. Till then I can certainly get to the daycare in no time flat.

Actually I\'m more interested in the diesel version(s). :)
If I got one of those babies I\'d put a different chip in it - and viola! 400 nm! :eek: :D

You whackos and your nms... It\'s all Horses baby!!!!
-
sammy, why a diesel engine?
-
Hey Video, have you seen the BMW short films? They\'re pretty cool... downloaded one called \'Hostage\' yesterday - directed by John Woo and produced by Tony & Ridley Scott! Sweet...
-
Tyrant: I like the modern diesel engines a lot.... lotsa power / torgue. Plus better milage (?) than the petrol engines - pretty nice if you have to a drive a lot.
-
purty wheels, vid... \'bout what I\'d expect from a high-powered television mogul such as yourself. ;)
WTF, I am a rock star, and all I can drive is a 2003 blazer 2d 4x4...that my GF refuses to stop running into things.
I need to talk to my agent...

Probably coz it\'s more economical. Diesel costs less and diesel engines need less fuel per mile. And they are powerful torque-wise. My dad saves like 2000 bucks a year if, not even more, on having a diesel A6. He drives for 3 hours each day to work and of course we kids use it a lot too.
Here in Europe gas is a lot more expensive than in the US, up to as much as 3-4 times as expensive.

this thread needs more pics dont u think

^^ that looks so so wrong, why lower it that much?
-
Vid you need ceramic pads no dust!

I think its looks great, just not very practical. Plus those are probably coil-overs and they car can be lifted again pretty easily. Or they can be airbags which really suck.
*EDIT* I knew I forgot something. Video: DO you have the angel eye highbeams? Or are those only on the 5series and up?
-
Yeah, I\'m hoping we can sell some pads on our Hi Rev Tuners show. I\'d love to get some ceramic pads.
Axxis makes some nice ones I hear.
I\'m just going to have to put up with it until my warranty is up.
I don\'t have angel eyes. I was looking at adding them. They are pretty nice looking. I just don\'t feel like dumping money on the car yet though. My wife and I are trying to invest quite a bit this year to get a nice jump on life.
-
Are those the headlights that make my retinas light on fire when they\'re coming straight at me?
I hate those.

Ive also seen them on IS300\'s and they look great on them as well.
-
THey are bright, but if they are adjusted correctly you shouldn\'t notice a difference in your eyes. The color is very nice though.
-
i think those lights r for the 5 series only, i have yet to see them on a 3 or even 7 series car, one thing tho they sure look nice.
-
I know they are on the new 7 series, not sure about the older ones or the 3\'s. Im pretty sure you can get an aftermarket kit for the 3\'s.
-
Yeah, there are a ton of aftermarket kits for the 3. They are pretty cool, but you have to drive with your parking lights on all the time to trigger them.
-
Nother pic of the lights, but on an IS300:

-
I didn\'t know they put them on other cars too. Hmmm. Maybe we can get a company to sponsor something on Hi Rev. Then I can get some for free.. Me likey free stuff.....
-
They look pretty cool... I dunno if they\'re legal here though (they\'re kinda anal about that kinda thing :)).
-
Have some spare time and wanna make your own angel eyes?

Here\'s a pic of \'em on a Lexus ES300, which is the kind of car I have. :p

That\'s pretty badass. Heh, I could put them on my car for less than $10, that\'s great.

Yeah, I didn\'t like it much at first, but now I think it\'s cool. It doesn\'t look anything like a Tiburon though. :sconf:
-
That car is bad ass I think. Looks very aggressive. It\'s also a real sports car. The Z-3 was created from a bunch of old 3 series parts. This car was a total design. Supposedly it has quite a bit of pep.
-
The Z4 looks great. I don\'t really care for the standard BMW look (too boxy for me), but when it comes to BMW convertiables, they are down right gorgeous.
