Hi everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself icon_smile.gif

I'm female and don't know a lot about cars and this looked like a nice place to learn how to do some stuff. I have a 2000 BMW and was wondering if anyone had any experience with working with them and had any advice? I'm looking to make her look a bit nicer (maybe LEDs?), and also a better sound system. Pretty basic stuff. Pictures would be amaaazing of before/after product or even step by step - just want to see what I'm getting into!

Any help would be appreciated!

Id recommend going to a BMW specific website. While we have some BMWs here, they are (what I can remember) pretty stock.

First thing, do a lot of research...especially if youre new to the scene.

We need some pics .... of your car and yourself...

If your car is a neutral color(silver,white,black) I really like Green and Purple combo or Pink and Blue.


Two colors is a must, 3 can work, anything more is overdone IMO. Excluding tons of million color items (ICE UFO) I'm am more partial to neon tubes as opposed to LED's due to the all around glow and less controlled "glow", but I'm old school.

Little projects can be done, look super custom and be more affordable alot of times. Downside is, it can be more frustrating since there is no template or OEM replacement.

Radioflyr has dones some amazing work on here, check out his corvette.

Pics or better details of the car always help.
Like Kwonrae said
Two colors schemes are always nice that or a single clean looking color works
Any more and it stops looking amazing.
Leds are nice for certain projects
I personally like cathodes for broad lighting. their stil easy to hide and give off a ton of light for cheap

its a European car, keep it clean, smooth it with strategic shaving, keep visual mods modest, keep lighting mods to the inside, spend way too much on wheels, and put it on bags. I guess I could also recomend checking out a magazine called eurotuner if you wanna see how to get over the top on a BMW.
