finally got about $2,000 to spend - United Bimmer Community

**B3M2W5i** · 06-25-2007, 11:57 PM

Hello all I have finally been able to get up some cash and now I am looking to spend most of it on my car. I have been looking towards all of these things on eBay and would like some feedback on them. The prices seem alright to me, i just would like to know what you all thought of them.

Which would you guys go for? If the prices are too high where else can I look?

Thanks

steer clear from ebay ebay is fine for cosmetic stuff like clear corners and kidney grills. try umnitza.com for the predator angel eyes, they come with the angel halos installed all you need to do is take out the old headlights and install the new predators.
as for the intake, try understeer.com.

do you have current pictures of the car?

i like suspension idea..but?

**B3M2W5i** · 06-26-2007, 12:24 AM

i will get some pics up soon. i just wanted to figure out where i could get parts for decent prices i have been so out of this that i just.. forgot!

**Numark318i** · 06-26-2007, 12:45 AM

You might want to look into engine software? Then do intake and exhaust?

that way you get some extra umph(not sure how much..but atleast itll sound better)

or get some clears and halos from umnitza.

also check out jlevi street works for parts. Hes got a nice selection of quality parts(from what i understand) you can also pick up all those parts in the bay area(umnitza is in concord and Jlevi is in Daly city i believe)

what he said, chip it, upgrade to clears, and do intake. save the rest for a clean pair of predators from umnitza

I bought my euro ellipsoids from redcometm3. He doesn't tell you this, but he sells 2nd quality stuff- things that didn't pass the quality control inspection at the factory for one reason or another. Mine weren't too bad, if you don't mind taking chances, you might save some money. Not that I recommend it tho. On the bumpers, make sur you don't buy fiberglass.

Do you guys think $2,000 is enough for a new nose panel, ds fender, front bumper(all three painted), intake, exhaust, springs, maybe a chip, headlights, fogs, and euro tails?

Cool, I still think it may cost even more.. I am going to make a post in the lighting thread to see what I should get and I will definately get back to you on that soon.

used exhausts and/or intakes aren't bad right? I mean my car has almost 130k miles

post here or in my lighting forum either way i'll answer you..

used exhaust at least the good ones are hard to come by and will cost you a bit less then new, everything being equal buy new.
pm me exactly what you want and i'll try to give you the bast possible price, keep in mind i have all the lighting products you need, exhaust and the m3 bumper.

Posted in the lighting forum, I figure that's where it ought to be.

Thanks again!
