    My Newly Acquired 325ix

    I've always loved BMW's, but now I actually own one! I picked this up last weekend and have been obsessing over its beauty for the past week. H&R Sport Springs, Dinan exhaust and who knows what else, Yokahama 235 tires....so much fun in the curves. What do you all think? Where do I go from here on the upgrades?

    I spy AC-Schnitzer front and rear valences. Very nice pickup! Not a huge fan of the wheels though.

      Looks NICE! Lose the wheels, but other than that it looks amazing.

        I was gonna say...that looks like a lot of ACS stuff. Nice car. I'm not a fan of the wheels, but it looks nice. I'd like to see some pictures with a little better lighting to get a feel for the color.

          Very nice indeed..

          Just clear your turns, and lose the dinan emblem..

          Either way, money.

            Yeah, not the biggest fan of the wheels either. The car does have AC Schnitzer front and rear. I think I'm going to be buying some basket weaves for the winter tires anyways, so maybe that will have to do for now. If only I was rich....

              I'll buy the ACS grill badge from you so you can raise the funds. ;)

                  Too true....an automatic. I almost said no because of that as well but the rationale of the daily driver in the city made me do it and the ix capabilities in the winter. The price wasn't bad either. Its the first auto car I've ever owned and I have to suppress the left foot twitch all the time. Plus I would really like to get out of the lower RPM ranges a little sooner than the auto allows.

                    Is it a true dinan car. I thought i remembered reading somewhere that Dinan and Brabus do not sell their emblems seperately.

                      I'm trying to figure that out as well. The only components I see that's Dinan are the exhaust and the chip right now. What else can I look for? Headers are stock, suspension is not Dinan...any help is appreciated.

                              other than the wheels it looks nice BUT why do you need an ix in san francisco, it never snows there
