New Pics of my DD (Slammed BMW)

slow90coupe · Jan 20, 2013

I've been working on my BMW a lot here lately. Since I purchased the car in August , I really didn't do anything to it other than drive it up until about a month ago. I picked up some FK coilovers and a few other little things, and I just got finished putting everything on. So far, I'm loving it. It's the only slammed 7 series around my area, and that's what I was going for. I wanted to have something different. Anyways, here's a few pics of the car. The coilovers are adjusted all the way up BTW. I can't wait until the summer so I can really dump the car.
Right before I bought the car (it was going downhill fast sitting on this lot!)

AND now.

And the interior so far. I wrapped all of the woodgrain with a carbon fiber wrap and plastidipped the shift knob. I still need a leather steering wheel cover and a few other little things, but I'm happy for now. And the best part is I can just peel it all off if I decide I don't like it anymore.

Just the little v8. It has a 750 badge on it for some reason though. I do know that this car will absolutely rape my Mustang in a straight line, roll race, cornering, and in a braking competition lol.

Nice! Now you need a 175 tire on a 10 inch wheel. Haha.

Nice! Car looks real sexy that low. Get some nice wheels and you've got a hella nice ride. I love that body style bmw, looks all executive and ceo status. And lol at it being faster than the Stang, don't even doubt it. You need to beef that sucker up.

Lol I'm going to do the opposite of all the Herrafrush guys and buldge the shit out of a tire. Once I wear the tires that's on there right now, I'll put some 295s or (if they'll fit) 315s.

Thanks man! I'm going to keep the M-parallel wheels. They're staggered, and the rears are 9.5 inches wide. Plus they're really lightweight and forged. If I do get some new wheels, they'll be BBS LM's.

looks pretttty good man. i'm not a huge beamer fan(raised with benzes), but this one looks real nice. the carbon fiber wrap looks really good too

mygreengt · Jan 20, 2013

That CF wrap makes the interior look 100x better. I love it. I would love to learn how to do that.

Very nice! has a nice stance and look. Not a very big bmw fan, but thats one of the few body styles i like.

a306juGRnot · Jan 21, 2013

aaahhhh shiiiiit. slammed e38 is what i like to see! one of my fav. big bodies! cant wait for the finished product. consider 19's man...its a nice size wheel for this sexiness.

Always have liked the way BMW's look. Id tint the windows and tails(lightly) if it were mine. Looks great though! What brand of vinyl did you use, the 3M stuff?

Welcome! I like the wheels but I've seen some awesome wheel combos on that model and its just pure win. But true, they're already staggered, forged, lightweight and look damn good. I'll have to google those BBS.

Just realized how luxurious that thing looks for being so old. Damn. I plan to buy either one like yours or an E46 in the future when my off road spirit dies off and I can sell my yoda lol, bc well *****3s love BMWs

KillNThrill24 · Jan 21, 2013

Lookin good dude! I love Bimmers myself. Kind of a damn shame that the giant boat of a 7 series could take most Mustang's lol.. But nonetheless great lookin ride. I too like the CF wrap, not a big fan of wood trim either

hottwheels04 · Jan 21, 2013

love the interior now looks alot better!

slow90coupe · Jan 21, 2013

Thanks guys! I love driving the car, especially to high school. I get some crazy looks lol. The carbon fiber wrap is some knockoff brand, I got it from some Honda website for like $30, and I didn't even come close to using half of it. It does pretty good though. It's fairly easy to put on, just got to use a bondo spreader to get the bubbles out and a heat gun on all of the corners and edges. I personally don't care for window tint, but I do agree that it would make it look better. I'd like to get some BBS's in 19's, but I'll wait until I find a good deal on some.

Tony · Jan 21, 2013

i like that carbon fiber wrap. been debating on that also. looks waaaay better than the wood grain, lol.

Steven · Jan 21, 2013

Do a light window tint thats smoked. It'll help the car out a lot. I'm a big advocate for DD'ing a BMW and having a mustang. You can't replace one or the other. They are two different type of cars that I enjoy driving equally. I'm looking to jump into another one here soon. A 330 more than likely

the5.ohh · Jan 21, 2013

I always liked the older 7 series beamers, nice lookin cars. There's a guy by me with almost an identical one to yours, except its brown-ish lol. He's got some aftermarket exhaust and man does that thing rumble. The carbon fiber was a good idea, I like wood grain but the CF looks 100x better. You gonna de-badge the trunk?
