MY E83! Sport, Premium, Aero, 20" Staggered~

[MUGE702]

Here's my new Creation. Got rid of my E90 ;( Need more room for my little ones. Hope you guys like it.

• Sport / Premium package
• Navi
• winter package
• Front/Rear parking sensors
• Xenon
• Sport springs and Pefromance exhaust (OEM)
• Aero kit
• Under carriage protection / skidplate
• Terra Interior
• 20" BEYERN Staggered wheels (20x8.5 - 20x10 w/ 245-40 & 275-35-20 Hankook tires).

I'm open for suggestions, how to make this thing look better. Thanks -m

Are the '07 angel eye headlamps and cellis rear lamps are straight bolt-in retrofit (aside from ballasts)? That's probably the first thing I'd attempt.

The aluminum running boards would be another consideration.

Those Beyern wheels look good. What's the offset and are you using spacers? In pic #2, the rear wheels look like they are slightly pushing beyond the fender line.

They are 40 offset all the way around NO SPACERS. Took me a couple of weeks to figure out the correct offset and tire sizes. Rear wheels can actually tuck if It was lowered. Does not stick out. Just the way I took the picture. ((( Do you have a picture of the aluminum running boards the you mention??? ))) Thanks for the input.

Here's a picture of an X3 with the running boards installed.

Now that I think about it, it might not work with your aero kit side pieces. The running boards is probably designed to work with the standard body sills. Hard to say, you'll probably have to research it with the BMW parts counter or in the REALOEM parts webpage.

I wouln't do anything else to the exterior - looks great! A euro-spec m-sport steering wheel might be nice on the inside though. It's quite a bit thicker and has better leather than the stock one you have there. Congrats!

Thanks. Where can I get the M-sport wheel? Can I use the stock airbags?

Nick at Morristown BMW can probably get you the wheel, and yes, you can use the same airbag.

Take a look at this post. The wheel alone doesn't come with the paddle shifters, I added those, but you'll get the idea...

Do they make the Euro-spec with the steering wheel warmer? Or do i just have to lose it?
