Re: Torn on colors, for an '09 LCI BMW E90 328i/335i

Hmm my neighbors have two 5 series in space grey... one of them is brand new and it looks dull already. But they dont do much to clean them just run it through a machine i guess, hides scratches well. But doesnt seem to shine just looks kinda dull and bland.

And dont get the bmw tec or whatever the vinyl seats are... the neighbors older 5 has really ugly looking seats and im assuming theyre the vinyl, i hope, because theyre uglier then the vinyl seats of a ford e or f series.

It might have been mbtec, not sure what bmws vinyl seats are called, but i probably sound like an idiot.

Now if they can only do something about BWM brake dust! Attached is a picture of what space grey looks like in sun light.
Get ceramic brakes pads! I have them on my car and my wheels are never dirty

The e90 is longer than the e46. The LCI (mid model refresh) is the same length as the 06, 07, 08 e90s.

normally i don't like the 3 series sedans (they look a little to cramped for me), but this one looks very nice (as does the coupe )...

Re: Torn on colors, for an '09 LCI BMW E90 328i/335i

Looks great, love everything about that car.. Thinking of replacing my Volvo V50 with a 325 or 330(in Europe we don't have the 328, the 325 is a 3,0L 220hp and the 330 is a 3,0L 270hp) The 335 would be nice too, but it costs a bit more..
