Pics of my Dinan 540 before the accident - United Bimmer Community

**dinan540** · 09-21-2005, 11:44 AM

Here are pics that I found from last November. She was in an accident 3 weeks ago, some idiot hit the driver side fender and light assembly, and now is getting fixed and upgraded.

I am having all the fogs converted to HID, the assembly converted to the predator angel eyes from the OEM angel eyes, and clear lenses, clear side marker bulbs, LED turn signals, stripping the front end to remove all of the rock chips, reprimed and painted and the 3M protective coating placed. I have been procrastinating doing the lights, but when the guy hit me, I knew it was time. At home, I have pics of the accident which I will post.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

sorry to here about the accident. very nice car.

**dinan540** · 09-21-2005, 01:27 PM

Yeah I have. I bought it in Bothell actually and I live by Northgate. The only advangtage to getting hit, is getting the upgrades.

Thanks for the compliments

Death,

Thanks for the compliments. I am a horrible photograper. I will post the accident pics and the after pics when it is done. Sorry for the newbie question, but what does N/A mean and
FI mean?

Your Car looks awsome

**dinan540** · 09-21-2005, 04:46 PM

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the compliments. It looks sick in person and it hauls ass!!!! This is my first BMW and I have owned it for about a year. I love this car, almost more than sex

.

I would love to meet up with some local guys to shoot the shit. I am a total rookie when it comes to turning a wrench, but I would like to learn.

I will post the accident pics soon. Mods are addicting!!!

DEATH2000 · 09-21-2005, 06:04 PM

u know i just realised theres like 10-15 members from the seattle/ washington area. maybe next spring we can get all the washington and alberta memebrs together for a meet

**dinan540** · 09-21-2005, 06:04 PM

would love to. Cops patrol too often on I-5. Chuckanutt can be fun. Do you have a radar detector? I would love to hard wire one.

Paul

**dinan540** · 09-21-2005, 07:34 PM

A meet in the spring would be fun. Somewhere like Whisler or Kelowna would be fun, even Vancouver.

**devinwwu** · 09-21-2005, 07:43 PM

i'm always down for cruises, chuckanut is awesome. i always do that after each and every upgrade to see differences in handling and acceleration through the corners. if you wanna drive up here i'll help you hardwire it for sure! let me know when
