My first BMW (and post)

RLighty · 05-26-2012, 05:03 PM

Just jumped on the bimmer bandwagon and am loving it!
This forum has so much help on it and soo many great ideas.
Great stuff guys

So ive done a couple of things to my coupe so far, let me know what you think..

- Tinted windows
- Black wheels (sprayed black upon purchase, part of deal... ideally want bigger though)
- Shark fin
- Switched out the storage dash box for a Nav Tray (screen to be purchased and hardwired in)...

...any how, on with those pics!

Hope it's an improvement.

**Update:

- Now decided on a screen to mount in the Navi tray...

Alpine TME-S370 - 6,5 - though having to get the navi box as well to give it GPS capabilities, which sucks (it costs more then the screen!!)

Hoping to order in soon and fit.
Will update will a photo ofc
