Just wanted to say hi to everybody at the forums and I am very excited to be here. I own a 2001 330ci with 113 xxx km on it. I got the car from my cousin and I am only 17 years old and couldnt be happier for my first car! The car came with some awesome stuff to it. Here is the list...

Exterior: AC Schnitzer front lip, side skirts, and rear bumper.

19 inch OEM BMW rims with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires. Front sizing is 235/35zr/19 and rear is 265/30zr/19. I just purchased winter tires and rims which look decent for the harsh winters in Canada.

Interior: Everything stock except for the sound system which sounds amazing!

Headunit: Alpine CDA-117
Speakers: Alpine SPX-177a components running on an Alpine MRV-F307 4 channel amp
Subwoofers: 2 12 inch Alpine Type R's (SWR-1241D) running on an Alpine MRV-1507 amp in a sealed box with a 1 farand capacitator. The right sub may look punctured in the pics but its just scratched!!

Engine/Performance: Everything STOCK except the strut bat on it

Suspension: Everything STOCK!

Everything up here listed came with the car but I want to add my own twist to it cause there is still room for improvement but dont want to go crazy. My budget I am currently working with is $1000 from all the stuff I sold that I dont need and will be getting more money for my birthday which is in november and christmas which is around the corner. I am very busy with education so I dont have time for a job.

I am open to suggestions from you guys because there is so much stuff to choose from and im a little new to this world. I would greatly appreciate you guys helping me out even if its little things. I will post all my good pictures I have. I have owned the car for 7 months now...

Welcome nice ride mate

The only thing that i would do to your car is getting it closer to the ground

Welcome welcome.

Take my advice. Save as much as you can because when something breaks and you have to take it to a shop get ready of a bill of at least 500 depending on what it is. Work a side job if you can and make sure the maintenance is up to par.

True true it is very expensive to repair stuff
