Nice car. Mine's red too. It's nice to see something that's not silver or black.

Yes Sir! All my others were Grey, Silver and Black. I was happy to find this...looking to update the Angel Eye's with the Lux product and possibly the front grille to a gloss black..

Red is a great color! The black front grille will be a nice touch. Do not waste your money on aftermarket LED angel eyes: it will never look like OEM LEDs and will cheapen your ride. My favorite wheels for the 3-series, by the way...

Hey P1et....I have seen some posts on the Lux LED bulbs and it appears they just give a whiter or white blueish tint to the rings. Why do you not like that vs OEM?

Thanks! Although Gert Alien would be different, don't know if I could rationalize that one with a story! Lol

You will have an extremely bright inner angel eye, and the outer one will be barely visible. I replaced mine with some PIAA bulbs. Same appearance as far as brightness is concerned, just a more white appearance. I started a thread on it if you want to see for yourself...

love it....

I'm too lazy to look, but did the N54 TT get revised by the N55 Single Turbo in 2010 or 2011 or 2012 ???

been outta the BMW game for a little while....

wife was thinking about getting another one

she liked how fast it was with the Cobb Tune and the ETS FMIC during normal acceleration...

boost would hit very nicely while merging into traffic...

her 392 is just balls, but she has to hit the throttle for it to come alive...

our 392 would run our old 335 when we raced, but daily driving a TT BMW with the Cobb Tune was a dream come true....

Well you guys are being nice today

Nice pickup OP. As for the angel eyes, I second P1et. There was one company that could do an amazing job where the angel eyes are made up of about 200 small LED's. It looked absolutely amazing in person, but they have to open your headlights and the whole thing cost right under $1k after all is said and done.

Enjoy!
