First Photos: My Electric Red 330i

sbw · 09-07-2006, 09:12 AM

Picked it up Aug. 25. Needs to be cleaned up for some better photos.

Electric Red, beige with burl-walnut interior, Sport Package, Comfort Access, clear bra on hood, bumper and mirrors.

Loving it! Will love it even more after break-in period!

I'm one of those rare people (possibly the only one) who wanted a 330i, not 335i. I feel the 255 horsepower are plenty and I want the better mileage.

SP330 · 09-07-2006, 09:28 AM

Well on this board you're not rare to have a 330i, but the electric red most definitely yes. Nice Combo.

sbw · 09-07-2006, 09:34 AM

Thanks. But I'm rare to want a 330i over a 335i.

4nroots · 09-07-2006, 09:38 AM

congrats!!! i love red, wife doesn't, hence we have black

where are you located? oakville/mississauga?

on a side note, how does your stereo sound? you don't have logic7 right?

Spennie · 09-07-2006, 09:54 AM

Very nice combo.... How much faster will the 335i be over the 330i? I suspect it will only be slightly slower than the E92 335i, so possibly 0-60 0.7s faster? Hmmm...

Kudos to God's Country up above... None of us are religious, but that's what we call my hometown lol (Ennismore, Ontario).

That red e90 is totally hot! 330 or not, a red 3 is definitely a rare thing near where I live. Congrats!

bimmer · 09-07-2006, 11:40 AM

NICE CAR!

can you please show me where do you have clear bra. How far is on the hood? Where on the bumper - a whole bumper?
I want to do it on my SG 330i

How much did you pay for everything?

drcain · 09-07-2006, 11:45 AM

Congrats! Looks sharp!

Regarding the clear bra on the hood, how much of the hood is covered? Do they do the whole hood or like the first 1/3rd of it or something? My 350z has the clear bra and I can always see the line across the middle of the hood where the clear bra stops.

[edit after posting: Guess I type slower than 'bimmer' above

bimmer · 09-07-2006, 12:05 PM

...one more thing, how reliable is cler bra?
when you wash you car very often will it slowly start to come off?

bearfoot · 09-07-2006, 12:32 PM

The picture below shows where the (dealer installed) clear bra stops. More pictures of it and the beautiful black e90:

love the color

Ascension · 09-07-2006, 01:19 PM

Congrats on the new car

Does your state require you to have a front license plate?

Asiann · 09-07-2006, 01:21 PM

Nice color! It definately stands out!

canucklion · 09-07-2006, 01:23 PM

^ yes, Ontario requries a front license plate

can you please show me the lines - I can't see them!
Is it a whole front (hood, bumper) or just the hood?

ok, sorry I see the lines on the hood now

Is your bumper done as well?

remmib · 09-07-2006, 02:18 PM

Looks hot, you can't hide in that car

It's not my car, I just remembered having seen a beautiful black car with a clear bra on www.e90post.com a couple of months ago. I am almost sure the bumper will be done as well. But you have to ask Caslis: http://caslis.com/photos/bmwe90/zain...bra/index.html
