Hi I'm Alex! This is my new car!

[Hochspannung]

Hi everyone! I picked up my new car this morning and spent the day driving and did a little car wash. It's pretty cold here now though so i didn't go all out with the cleaning.
My car is a 2005 330ci M Sport in TiAg. I couldn't be any happier with the car, its leaps and bounds above my previous 328ci

does this look lower than the stock m sport suspension should be?

Dirty summer 135's, center caps not aligned with the motorsport emblems lol.
I'll probably try to get them cleaned up tomorrow if its not too cold.

Welcome Alex, great looking car

[Hochspannung]

I have the Chrome center caps that go on the steelies in the trunk. Do I need to remove the lug bolts first to attach the caps or is there a certain way I can pop them on?

[Johnmadd]

Have fun with it.

[kayger12]

Welcome to the Family. Great looking car.

[liljosh344]

Depends. Most can be popped on.

Welcome to the Mafia, man!

[echo46]

Very nice. Welcome aboard.

[Hochspannung]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! ZHPmafia is a breath of fresh air. I love it

[Oli77]

That's classy looking. Even with steelies, it looks great.

-5 degrees Celsius, brrrrr, getting there.

[Ryans323i]

Welcome to the Mafia. Nice looking TiAg!

[mikeyb74]

Hey Alex, nice find and welcome to the mafia.

Thanks, I'm gonna put the center caps on in a little bit.

I really dislike winter. I'm sad to see the snow start to fly around my area. The snow has held off where I live so far but I drove down to Niagara yesterday and they got quite a bit. Its a depressing sight lol. I get to escape to Fort Myers at the end of the month for a few days, so at least I have that to look forward to.

welcome

[johnrando]

Looks like a great pickup, congrats.

Put the caps on yesterday. I removed one bolt, popped it on, then replaced the bolt and torque them down. Also gave them a little cleaning.

[danewilson77]

Ohhhh..... Those caps! Lol...

Looks great.

Do you have full car shot with the steelies?

[Hochspannung]

Yea just give me a min

*EDIT*

I thought I did have one on my phone, but I don't. I'll snap one when I leave work at 10am.. I only work half days shredding paper right now because I almost cut my finger tip off last month. So I'm on light duty until the pin gets pulled out on Wednesday hopefully. I got a picture of that but it's pretty gross.

[danewilson77]

Really....I think its a great "winter look".

[Hochspannung]

Yea, I like the look too. If I had bought the car before the weather got cold I would have done the steelies in white with the chrome caps. It's too late now though, the snow is goin to be here any day now. Beisdes looking good, the caps protect the hub from rusting as well I think.
I'm working on cleaning up the 135's in my kitchen lol. They are absolutely filthy dirty and the fronts have some curb rash. I'll make a thread about it in the wheels section when I get them done.

[zj96sc]

km/h speedos are so clean.

[jreyes19]

welcome and
love the car awesome steelies i always see them in black down in florida so the silver is a nice change of pace (at least for me)

[Hochspannung]

If I get some spacers for my 135's I'll put them on the steelies before winter ends.

[Hochspannung]

Here are the pictures you wanted, Dane.

Looks perfect. Nicely played.

I have only two things to say... Simple Green and Sonax or P21S Gel.

(Technically that's three but you only use one of the wheel cleaners.)


as for curb rash, here is the wheel repair DIY: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/realwhda.html. You only need a few supplies and having your wheels off already makes it 100000x easier.

i honestly like the steelies on the car....some new lips and they would be on their way to dopeness :ronald
