Hi,
I already got CF lips and rear spoiler. I've place order for the carbon fiber casing side mirrors and ALu. leather gear knob.... Hartge springs are at the dealer..... :rocks: The Hartge pedal set and footrest are at my place..... :rocks: :rocks: The CLASSIC 2 wheel set is on the way to Thailand.... :rocks: :rocks: :rocks: But I have to skip the CF trims cos they are way too pricey...... Most parts are ready to install but I'd like to wait for the wheel set to come so I could dress my car up within a week..... Oh! the tint........HUPER OPTIK is my choice...... :rocks: It might take a couple of months to get them all done..... I will post the before & after when it's done.... Woody |

Hi,
I'll give u a rough specs. for E90 that BMW THAILAND offers.... I paid $57,142 for 320i which comes with - Halogen headlight....I think it looks meaner than Bi-Xenon - 154 style wheel set....sucks - Metallic Paint.....SG with no charges.... :rocks: - Standard seats...Dakota leather......Lemon Dakota with no charges :rocks: - Standard steering wheel....non-Multi functional....I'm ok with it - Profesional stereo system.....fantastic sound quality - Standard suspension....... - Manual foding side mirrors....who needs it? may be someone but not me - 6-speed steptronic...... - Split armrest.... - Brushed Aluninum trims...I love the sporty look - Black window trims..... - No I-drive...... - Cupholders for driver and passenger seats...... - Electric window blind for rear windshield..... For 320ise, it comes with above specs. plus Bi-Xenon headlight, Parksonic, Electric folding side mirrors, 156 style wheel set, Wood trims, Foglamps, Cruise control, Multi-function steering wheels..........with $7,142 more (300,000 bht.) These are all I can think of right now....... I choose 320i cos I know I will modify it later on.........I regret for the Bi-xenon and foglamps.....The rest of the specs. are just fine.... Woody |

Oh! I have ordered Lemon leather also.....in HK, they will not charge any extra also for lemon.
Yes, style 154 doesn't look good. What rims are you going to replace then? Kelvin |

Hi Kevin,
I just changed my mind from Hartge Classic 2 to Classic 1...........I just made a deposit for a set of them.........$3,500 for a set of Hartge Classic 1 with Dunlop tires set 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear What do you guys think? Woody |

Woddy,
Oh, 19"..., should look really nice. But have you considered the impact to performance? Mine is also 320i and I am considering to upgrade my style 156 to bigger sizer, say 17" or 18". But I am worring the impact on rolling resistance to move the car from still, what do you think? What is your comment on the power of your current 320i? I know it cannot be compared to 325/330 anyway, since it is not apple to apple comparsion anyone. Kelvin 7 days left for getting mine:>) |

Hi Kevin,
What a great choice you choose... :rocks: The issue you brought up is very interesting...... The reason why i choose 19" instead of 18" is because the arch of the e90 is quite huge.... I think the 19" would fill up those arches.... I just went to the wheel shop to compare the size of the rims.......19" looks a lot nicer than 18".......I ordered a spring set of Hartge to lower it down.....It's only 25mm down....... My last car I went from 14" to 16"......+3 is quite radical for me but I thought since BMW offers us a 19" OEM wheel set.....It shouldn't do no harm to the car......Just my opinion. As for the car performance, I think you are right about it....... I think I have to compensate the ride smoothness and car performance for better handling and look..... For the pix of Classic 1 and 2 wheel.........You can find a nice pixs from www.Hartge.de under wheels catergory Woody |
