Looks good

[TaylorGame]

Yesssssssss

[cougs99163]

Is that IND parts? How hard were the installs, specifically the grill?

[biglare]

Well Done Sir!

[parky1215]

That side reflector needs to go asap.

[mashoutposse]

Nice.

The car looks like it's ready for the Baja 1000. Fix that, and it's essentially OEM+ perfect.

Son did a good job.

Lol, nice case you put together, trust me, I hate chrome but there are certain parts on M cars that I think are sacrilege to change, since they are DNA, or trademarks, signatures that make an M car (or BMW) instantly recognizable:

• 4 Chrome Exhaust tips
• Tri Color M stripes
• Chrome M badge
• Blue and White Roundel

I used to black everything out when I was a kid, now when I see cars driving with black roundels, or German colored M stripes, they are 90% of the time on gangster looking cars driven by teenagers. I guess I grew up and thankfully out of that phase.

100% agree

[rubber_ducky]

Looks great! Well done.

[JSP///M4C]

Looks great! Keep it classy! I see people with blacked out badges on all makes.

Most of the time, it's younger people.

Front grills were extremely easy. On my F30, I had to remove all of the bolts along the top of the front bumper and reach down behind the bumper to release the clips holding the grill in place.

With F8x, I was able to reach right through the front of the grill and access the clips-it was a tight fit and scratched my fingers trying to get the bottom clips undone but it was successful.

Installing the black M Performance surround piece on to the F8x double slat center piece was also extremely easy-the first one took me about 5 minutes, the second one took me less than a minute

You waste no time sir, great job!

Thanks for the response, think I'll do it myself. When you've located the clips do you pull up/down/push?
