Wald International is a Japanese tuner specializing in bodykit for high-end cars. Wald unveiled another bodykit, this time for the BMW E90. The bodykit features side-skirts, a trunk-lid spoiler, a completely reworked front and rear bumpers, plus four fog lamps featuring Angel Eye technology from BMW.

The wheels are in 19’’and have low profile tires that benefits the aggressive look. A custom exhaust system offers a high-performance sound. This is the only mod to improve performance. More information available on Wald’s website: www.wald.co.jp. More pictures on the BMW Gallery.

I know that I’ve been so slow on posting this week and maybe last week too. I want to apologize for that. I’m working for a software company and we had to release a product. This is a very hard and time consuming task that stops you from doing the very basic things in life (It actually stops your life). I’m sure there are some software developers here who know the feeling.

The good news is that we’re finished (well, almost) and that will give me some free time to pay more attention to the blog again. I have some great posts and ideas that I will be publishing in the next couple days. So, I hope you forgive me for not posting as fast and rich as usual.

This DIY (Do It Yourself) is for you BMW E36 owners with automatic gearbox. It was contributed by Bernard Gutnick (thanks Bernard). The procedure shows in very simple steps how you can fix the light inside your A/M gearbox switch. I think this same procedure can be used to replace the bulb inside your window switches as well, but I’m not sure if it’s the same bulb. Have fun…

Disclaimer: Use this info at your own risk!! I’m not responsible if this didn’t work for you :-).

If the A light bulb is burned out due to constantly being on, you can replace it rather than spending $70 on a new switch.

M-Technik pack factory fitted, or prefer an exciting body kit from AC Schnitzer? Why not both! Because after the spectacular bodywork components of the 1-series coupé and cabrio, chief designer Michele Viandante of the Aachen-based BMW tuner has developed a “stunning” update for the M-Technik version in every detail.

With sophisticated AC Schnitzer attachments for the front and rear skirt, this sets the final accents in sporting style. The front part, almost totally vertical as standard, is enhanced by extensions which protrude forwards like a spoiler edge. Viandante has managed to retain the impressive beefiness of the 1-series, and at the same time create a far more dynamic note.
