Any ideas on how to refresh the E32?

[mizhan]

Bro, means you're E30 is even more wicked than your Alpina 7?? Cool!

his E30 very hensem..

 

[elwine30]

Where you got H&R spring and the cost of that ?

Hi, my ride is on eibach. You can get H&R from places like Inner Power.

I must see it! Haha. Any idea where I can see his pride and joy? If his E32 looks 'plain' in comparison... This I gotta see!

hahaha, nothing to shout about. it's just a clean white car. .

Does it mean keeping it clean is a nightmare bro? White tends to enhance the colours of dirt easily I guess.

 

[Eggie86]

nope, the rims are replicas. So, they are ain't original and not expensive.

The decals can be obtain from spareparts shop but i got them from bkk.

but you can start by changing your lights from amber to white. They make the car looks newer. Also if you can the headlight, it will definitely make your car looks newer. You can opt to change your rear light to leds or just white lights.

If got the money, lower your car. H&R springs is available.

Ahh, replicas. But still looking great those rims. :top: Can't bear the thought of kerbing those fine rims. Haha. Yeah, I got lotsa nice stickers whilst I was in Bangkok for CNY. Got myself an Alpina logo [sticker actually] which can be placed atop my BMW logo. But I'm refraining from doing so. Scared kena ridicule la if change the badge tapi my E32 looks stock!

Aiya, just remembered I only bought one logo. Kinda cheap bro, 50 baht = more or less RM 5. But as a Bimmer driver, I am ashamed to say I spent more on getting myself TRD stickers. Got one looks like those small metallic plates sticker. Somemore it's embossed. LOL.

Anyhow, bro boleh suggest any place that can change lights for reasonable price? I kinda noob la when comes to getting my cars done up nicely. All this while also my dad paying for repairs. *sighs* Wanna wean off my dependence on him [financially I mean] so that I can have more freedom to spice the E32 up.

Regarding the LED rears, I think I'll hold on for the time being. Just changed the left rear few months back after some b*st@rd broke it whilst I parked it in Damansara. Cost my dad about RM 300 to replace it. *sighs*

if you do a search in the forum, you can find the sparepart shops to find lights. you can buy the lights and then bring over to the mech for them to change it for you. i presume you are asking about white signal lights.

i bought mine at Inner Power.

Thanks for the info bro. I've tried searching the forum for the shops, and I found the websites for Inner Power and Eagle Eyes. Apparently EE has stock on those E32 crystal clear lights, but I don't have enough dough at the moment.

Probably for the time being, I'll probably have to make do with polishing the lenses and getting a set of new bulbs for the car. Bro, can I get the bulbs from places like Ace Hardware? I did a check on google but all I managed to find were bulbs for sale listed on Ebay Singapore. *sighs* Would appreciate your feedback.

 

[elwine30]

bulbs? I think you can at any spare part shop. They are running on H1 bulbs.

Did you check how much EE is selling the crystal clear lights?

Cool. Should make it a habit to drop by the shops soon. Btw, the prices are as follows:

1. Crystal Tail Lamp - RM 899 [purchased online]; otherwise RM 999
2. LED Tail Lamp - RM 999 [purchased online]; otherwise RM 1,099
3. E32 Projector Headlamp Angel Eye/LED with corner lamp - RM 1,399 [online]; otherwise RM 1,499.

Means the original halogen lamps are running on H1 bulbs? Thanks for the lowdown! :top:

 

[elwine30]

icic. purchase online. ok, i have not being to eagle eye. i got mine from inner power for 1k i think. maybe mike30 can confirm.

 

[Eggie86]

Thanks for the info guys. Discussed with my dad regarding the headlights and for the time being, I will make do with a new set of bulbs for the low beams. I have a feeling the lense head is in dire need of TLC [aka polishing or even changing it altogether] but I shall see how the lights are once they are changed.

Dad recommended some suppliers which specialises in spare parts for Bimmers. Does names like Stuttgart Auto or CSS ring a bell to you guys? There's one specialist based in Taman Mayang, PJ but I can't remember the name. Haha.

Next up should be to change the plastic claddings on my Bimmer. It's cracking all over and in some places, literally popping out from the doors. *sighs*

Ah! So you are the owner of the E32 that Darren detailed... Its a beauty lar!

Coincidentally, I did check out mike's E32 when he was selling it at one point in time. That car also very very nice! I especially loved the big nose look (like my Ex E34). Unfortunately, I was undecided at that point in time and missed the opportunity to own an E32.
