I love the way it came out! Reflectors will set it off perfectly!

Love the wheels man! Always hated how the wheels aren't fully black. Well done. Love how clean the modding is, not "gangster" at all

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
Please post a guide for us noobs!

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.
I agree! Looks very clean and aggressive, not trashy.
