New here :)
Hi everyone! I'm new here. Last time I tried to post a thread, the website wouldn't allow me to do so. Purchased Betsy in December 2015. Waiting for warm weather to hit, so I can get the grill and stuff painted black. I was going to plasti dip the stock wheels, but I'm really interested in a nice set of after market rims. Suggestions would be great!! So far all I've gotten are tints on her. Did 20s all around with 35 on the windshield/ and couldn't be happier!! Oh I also installed ghost lights. Still debating if that's too much or not, because clearly it's a bmw.

Nice tints. If I had white my favorite exterior mod is the high gloss wrap on the roof that rolls into the tints. Classy ride and congrats.
Like this one even though it's a 335, but you get the idea

Hi neighbor! I was thinking 19s cause I'm worried 20s will look too big/out of place. What do you guys think? 20s? 19s?
And yes I am planning on doing a lot more! Like the vinyl that BMW DOUBLES posted a picture of!!!! Glad to see other people like the vinyl roof top too! That was next on my list, but I'm waiting for Chicago weather to cooperate with me lol. After I get the black vinyl on the roof, I wanna get a black slim spoiler and black diffuser. I think it'll tie it in nicely. some other small stuff like painting the grill, and getting those black eye lids (not a fan of the white on the headlights) Light tint on the rear headlights? |

Welcome! You will love this community. Anything you need you can find the answer here. Definitely go with 20's and the black roof will look awesome. The other dark accents you mentioned will really make your car stand out. Don't forget to black out the chrome around the windows too. Make sure to post pics of your progress. Good luck!

definitely go with 20's...19's are too small! especially if you're thinking about adding exterior upgrades to your car!

Congrats, it looks good.
That's pretty dark tint, are you not running the risk of being pulled over for that? Where I live it's kinda gray area, but you can't really go that dark, and tinting of the windshield is not allowed at all. Does this not affect your visibility late at night darker roads, outside of the city ? |

Go with 20's if you're modding
On my AW I have also had the chrome detail on the fenders and the chrome insert in the door handles wrapped gloss black Got to banish that chrome if you're modding it... |

I am from Chicago and I am pretty sure the legat limit is 35% for driver and passenger here. At any rate, nice ride. I think there are enough of us in Chicago to get a cruise going sometime. When I had a Saab, we had pretty good numbers at our cruises. I really hope to do the same with BMW's.

Sweet! thanks for the tips guys. I'm thinking 20s as well. now I'll be a little set back. Yea the tints are illegal, but in all honesty my eyes are sensitive to the sun, and yes I know I can wear sun glasses, but I live the windshield tint. I don't even notice it is on there. when people get in my car, the only way they notice the windshield is tinter is through the exterior cause it's nice and dark. and yes I did get a ticket. hopefully my only one for that.. and it was in a suburb on top of that. Is there a thread or section where people are selling parts? like wheels? maybe some will catch my eye.
