Jet Black E92 382xi with M Tech front, M3 skirts, etc
I had these mods done a while back, but I'm finally getting around to posting some pics on here.
I first want to say thanks to Frank at **********s, which is where I bought my replica M-Tech front bumper, M3 side skirts, and matte black kidney grilles. Also shout out to High Tech Auto Body in Elsmere, DE for doing the install and paint. And finally, thanks to anyone on this forum that answered any of my stupid questions or pm's. Now on to the pics. These first 2 were taken the same week I bought it, right before I had it tinted, which was almost a year ago. This was a pic I took one night after work, it shows the tint. Now, after the mods: As y'all can probably see I had the chrome window trim painted as well, which is a big improvement IMO. I also got a black license tag, one of the benefits of being a resident of Delaware. The hood and fenders had a lot of stone chips in them, there were random scratches throughout, and a small dent in the back bumper when I first bought it, and all that stuff got cleaned up great, thanks again to High Tech. Now I just need to buy some rims. I've been going back and forth on 19" or 20" Vossen CV3's, and I was also looking at 20" InCurve IC-S5's, either one would be black machined. I was also thinking about possibly doing something with the tailpipe tips. So what do y'all think? |

Thanks, I like the black, very clean look. I almost bought a white one, but I'm happy with the black. Yes sir, that is the plan Right I want to do something with that, but I'm not sure about the chrome, because I don't have any thing else that's chrome. The rims I'm going to get will not be chrome, so I'm concerned that if the tips were they might stand out TOO much. |

I was planning on getting some H&R sport springs for my wheels. Do you like the Vossen's: http://www.carid.com/vossen-wheels/v...ed-351149.html or the InCurve's: http://www.**********s.com/InCurve-I...s-BMW-Audi.htm I'm a little torn between the two Thanks! |

out of the choices given, i would go with the InCurves... as long as they're deep concave, i think that would look much more appealing...
Vossens look best when in motion: they chop - HARD. IC's will look good either way... even better if you get some coilovers and tuck the wheels under... something i would think wouldn't look right with vossens... ^__^ |

Coilovers! but those are awesome mods, were gonna have almost the same identical car once I do mines next year
About the rims, go 20" if your roads there are nice and forgiving, if not then 19" but if you want go 18" for performance. |

Thanks, you'll definitely have to post some pics once it's done! Why do you suggest coilovers? Do you have them on yours already?

But loving what you have planned except 20 inch rims, any vossens : I'm pretty sure **********s will set you up nice, wait for Black Friday sale at **********s. You can pick up rims for hell of deal!

I won't get my bumpers and sideskirt till next year but yeah I have ST coilovers on my car, I love them. I was originally planning on going springs but I thought that if I didn't like the height of the springs I would of been disappointed and wasted money so do it right the first time and go coilovers, you won't be disappointed.
