Some cosmetic mods!!!

Nycm3 · 09-18-2018, 09:20 AM

Bought my first M car actually my first bmw a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier with the performance I don't even think I want to tune it. It was lacking a bit in the looks dept but a couple of little and inexpensive mods seems to have cured that. Now it looks as good as it performs. This is how I purchased it, and what it looks like now. Added a carbon fiber spoiler, tints, black grill and gills, carbon fiber mirror caps, and some carbon fiber interior pieces. Much better in my opinion. What do you guys think?

Sounds good.
Congrats, drive it in good health. Enjoy...

very well done so far, isn't it great how the black grill surrounds change the whole front of the car? haven't done that to mine yet, but it's next on the list. keep us posted with what you do!

Now you just need some paint matched side reflectors and you should be good to go!

When I got this 340 I had painted side-markers at my house before the car. When I get my M3 I'll have some waiting as well.

Really like the rear spoiler - where did you source?

It's actually a $90 eBay spoiler.... perfect quality real carbon fiber and a perfect fit! There are So many companies charging a ridiculous amount of money for these things when you can literally get the same thing for a 1/3 or even a 1/4 of the price. Who knows maybe the quality isn't the same... but to my eye and anyone else who looks at my car it is.

Looking good!

Where did you source the carbon shifter and surround? Thinking about doing this

Congrats! Love the color and wheels. (not keen on the 666 wheels at all)
Do you plan on getting a rear diffuser?
