M3 hood line :(

serieD · 06-18-2014, 07:42 AM

The car without a doubt, looks better without the line. However, I would say that the car and everything it possesses overweighs this small mishap.

I've seen about 7-10 different M3/4's in various colors and the line to be honest doesn't even hit your eyes when you see the car in person. The car itself is so amazing looking with it's proportions and it's girth that this is not anything to worry about. Now, if you're on the fence about getting the car or your just a hater, than this will be leverage for you but for anyone who is realistically looking to purchase this car, this is nothing to worry about.

I take no credit for this... but the line looks great on this mighty fine vehicle.

Yes, yes it does! We must draw the line somewhere.

Yes but it'll cost you a lot more than an F80/F82!

I never noticed it until I read the M4 auto spies review ... the hood line cuts smack across the front of the damn car! W.T.F!

I'm just seeing this now? I'm freaking out ... i feel like I've been burgled

Oh get a life Gruss! We all should.

If the line is not perfect, it matters, if it is, who gives a shit? Check out the trunk side, and you can also find a weakness that will never be unseen again.

Lups has spoken.

You are just seeing it now? Actually, there are more lines parallel to that line all the way up to the edge of the windshield. They will show up one after another gradually. you just wait.

jk!

No, it actually looks really silly.

That's why you need to get bsm. Hides that line pretty well.

I just picture the (yes, correct term is being used here) nose bone pocking the eye of the opener out without the line. I'm too chicken, so no line and Lups won't refill oil or the shit that (yes, right technical term again) the car uses to clean the wind screen with.

Hey old people forget words!

It does, along with hiding the carbon roof and other M specific details too!

And it makes the 1,200 mile break in service a b!itch to complete too (but at least you never need to worry about adjusting the hood latches).

It works in person fine. This "squirrels last view" angle exaggerates the line in photos.

accce · 07-02-2014, 01:45 PM

I would buy a hood if someone could remove the line. It could not be that hard to make. It could be done in carbon fiber.

Not only that, you forget there is no way to get rid of the line altogether because what are you going to do? lift the whole bumper up with the hood??? At some point here will be a line of separation...
