Sucks to have a NEW car!!!

voltron1011 · 05-31-2005, 01:45 AM

Sometimes it really sucks to own a new car like the E90 because the aftermarket hasn't caught up to it yet. I really want some nice rim choices for my 325 (aftermarket 162s maybe), but it looks like we all have to play the waiting game once again.

i second that... but i'm waiting on cleared headlights (for us unfortunate US-spec cars) and better taillights! i can't wait until nice aftermarket nav installation kits are available for the e90 as well.

in the meantime, as far as wheels are concerned, you can get the 162's from your dealer (use search to find the thread on this matter, i think someone found them for ~$270 a piece)

There will be more aftermarket options than you care for soon enough... I think all the aftermarket companies learned from the E46 that there's much potential in the 3 series aftermarket business. We're already seeing all the big companies (Hamann, Breyton, ACS, etc..) put out wheels/bodykits/etc... can't wait to see what else is in store.

FYI - Clear Headlamps are already available on an ebay store. The only way to get them is to replace the entire headlight assembly!

In addition to that, you need to buy the much more expensive replacement headlights (there are 3 kinds of headlights available on ebay) because you have adaptive headlights, which comes standard with 330i.

It sucks for me because I'm paranoid I'm going to get hit by some crazy driver. I have no thought of adding anything to this beautiful machine (330i, ZSP, ZPP).
