My First BMW: New Member

Hey everyone!

My name is Mike. I just bought my first BMW, a 2003 Metallic Green 325Ci. What an amazing car! Everything people say about BMW's is true. I've only had it four days and I've already driven it 200 miles, I never want to get out of it.

I am here to check out others rides and look for a few tips here and there, no heavy modding though. The only plans I have are:

+ Body colored front-bumper corner lights
+ HID projector headlamps
+ OEM-like "Angel Eyes" or "Demons" or "Corona Rings" or whatever they are called

If you have any tips where I can get good a good quality HID/Ring kit with factory-like look or those corner lights, let me know!

Anyway, here are a few pics of the new ride I took today. Please ignore the dirt (no time for a car wash yet) and the dead grass ha ha...hope you like it!

welcome. congratulations. I'll throw in the basics, clears, drop, rims, tint. enjoy.

Welcome! I'd probably debadge it, looks alot better.

Welcome, and Congrates on ur new Car!!

Not really a fan into dropping it, but thats ur choice

Victor98: Yes, I need to paint the reflectors, that is what I meant by body-colored corner lights. They light up in the Jetta (prev. car) so I have a habit of calling the, corner lights. Should I get that done at a shop or can you buy pre-painted reflectors online?

And you're right, tint is a good call. I have had more than one person tell me they would like to see the 325Ci with the same 20% tint I had on the Jetta.

Racinghart: Thanks for the welcome! Yeah actually BMW officially calls what everyone calls "Angel Eyes", Corona Rings. But whenever I use that term people ask me WTF I am talking about and they they go, "Oh you mean Angel Eyes!" or, "You mean Demons?" Ha ha, NO I MEAN CORONA RINGS!

Again, if anyone knows of a source for good quality factory-like HID projectors with Corona Rings pre-installed lemme know!

I'm sorry but I am a total BMW noob, what do you mean by "clears"? Clear reflectors?

gura: Thanks! But I can't lie, there may have been a RI state park picnic table involved in the taking of those photo's...no tree climbing.
