My Ride: 2002 330xi Loaded
Black Before the Storm

Thread is designated to my baby. 2002 330Xi that i bought two years ago and have slowly done minor things to it and much to come. These first pictures i apologize for ... my car was dirty as can be but it was before i did all the lights and i wanted to get final shots when it was somewhat stock. I have never took pictures of this car and so it begins...

the storm refers to the hell i have had during the process.







What was done at that point is lowered the car with H&R Springs, changed out the head-unit for a Alpine CDA-9886, bought the wheels (OZ Palladino 19's ) and my entire audio system

yea.. let me clean up the car and see what you think... i kind of wanted to steer away from the CSL , BBS style wheels... everybody does it.. it was either this or the SSR-GT2 and i couldnt find any of those at the time..

and thanks for the turner recommendation, turns out they put these in.

i would of put in rogue or GC myself but i just wanted my car back... i usually make these mistakes lol, i could of had a new hood and bumper, but i just wanted it done so i got oem instead. (brother put a little crack and made him replace everything)
