Ehh too matte/dark for my taste i actually want the glossy greyish one

[MisterF80M3]

has anyone plasti-dipped the ugly reflectors on the front and rear?

^^ you are better off buying a color match spray can from www.paintscratch.com and do it body color. If your car is black then i would just do gloss black vinyl. Still better than using plastidip.

Adding to the red start/stop button, red M buttons from IND, like the new M5

[Strmtrpr_F80]

another cheap mod... carbon fiber stickers from Amazon for $10 they are listed as BMW Emblem Caps Overlay Vinyl Decal Sticker for Hood Trunk Wheel Fender. here some pics... PM if you want better pics

The muffler delete is reversible but there have been cases where my dealer asked me not to reverse it at a trade in lol

The nitrogen is one of the biggest rip offs going. I get it that race cars use nitrogen because it does not expand like compressed air having moisture. Therefore the pressures stay more consistent. For a road car, I don't think an increase in 3 lbs. will change the handling on your local freeway ramp. As for erosion, the wheels are painted to prevent that. Use that 12 bucks on a beer!

While I agree with you 90%, here in Texas where the temp jumps up to 110 degrees outside, I can tell the difference in my F80 with air, whereas my wife's with nitrogen is the same regardless of the degree. But when it's not this hot, can't tell at all.

FYI....air is 80% nitrogen. There will be no significant difference in pressure vs temperature when using pure nitrogen in your tires.

1) All black roundel overlays
2) painted reflectors
3) Tint film on top of headlights and reverse lights
4) Gloss black wrap over M3 logos on front and side grilles.

Here's an old one for now (the last time I took pics). I just installed the rear painted reflectors last weekend. I'll try to take new pics tomorrow.

Why not try 0% window tint?

Red start button from IND. My original was worn anyhow after 4 years.

Nice - now you just need to do something with that ugly exhaust handing down there (not a chep mod, I'll admit)!

Yeah, I was thinking of just getting tips, but saving up for MPE.

I have Mode Carbon diffuser coming soon and I just ordered the M Perf blackline taillights. Too much red with the taillights. The front is all blacked out so the rear is mismatched.

[tgmk_noppy]

BM3 Tune for me, $599. Coming from an AMG scene, the price of the tune is peanuts.

[didit70]

1. Tinted windshield, 2. 15/15 MS spacers, 3. Ind color matched side markers

[JamesMA]

BMS clutch stop. Took the one off my F30 before I traded her in. One of the best mods there is for a 6 MT. Only $10 for a new one too.

[hellokitty]

GC camber plates and euro mirrors from cars245

[3PedalMINI]

I have read through this thread but dont see links on alot of the things I want todo.

Black Kidney Grills - I know I can use regular f30 surrounds but how do you pop them off without breaking one of the fins (like I had todo on my 235)

I want a subtle CF rear decklid spoiler

Front CF Splitter

Black M3 Logo

Black Side M3 Vent/logo (I guess I could plastidip)

I know IND has all of this but I'm trying to avoid the ///M tax I cant justify a real Mperf Front splitter considering I know my driveway/philly roads are going to eat it alive.

I found the inexpensive mod that gives me the best ROI is the red M1/M2 buttons from IND, which put a smile on my face every time I look down on them while driving. (The start button is a bit hard for the driver to see.)

Is there an easy way to fit the buttons without dismantling the steering wheel?
