If u don't want it, we can swich. I trade my stock bodykit wt cash on ur M areo. ^^

I really like the rear. Unfortunately, thats about all I like about the kit (exterior wise).



Sadly enough, I hope somebody bumps into me at a stop light (but nothing more). This would give me the perfect excuse to go with the rear of the msport kit at little to no charge

I agree next to stock the M rear looks really good. The front is too boxy and not low enough, there are better options for the front.

I ended up staying with the stock front and painted CF splitters. Not the most aggressively styled bumper, but thats a good thing for me...

Hey, it all depends on the style you are going for. The painted splitters will make for a nice clean addition to the bumper causing people to give your car a double look.

Go for the M kit. I loved the front bumper so much, I put it on my car. It looks really good, and is much more aggressive, IMO. The rear looks good too, but I just went with the front bumper.

The car is black saphire and I have some replica M5 wheels for it so I think it would look pretty sharp. Just looking for opinions.

Do it!
Opportunities like that doesnt come often, I bet you'll regret it later if you dont.

Opportunity only knocks every once and a while so I am going with the full kit.

But having seen it in the flesh, er, Black Sapphire, I agree with you; the photos don't do it justice.

Yeah you saw it after the police did, and they weren't too happy they couldn't read my number plate so they made me get a proper one with letters and numbers! Then I decided to cover it with a pit of paper that said E90Post.com, but thought that might upset the police too so took it off.

how is the ride with M suspension + 18" runflats?

Thanks.

The ride is OK, and I have driven it on all types of UK roads (which is pretty much as diverse a range of roads you could find) except dirt roads. On motorways it is fine. Done a load of miles on the motorway recently, including a 10 hour round trip to london the other weekend, and I felt thoroughly fresh at the end of it. Only thing to note is the road noise, but that isnt even that bad as the car is so well insulated and you would get the same from any tyre that wide. Have driven it on some pretty bumpy roads too, and I admit I wouldn't want to drive too far on such roads, but even there it is reasonably composed. That said, I lived in Sydney for ten years and know what your roads are like (full of potholes!) so personally wouldn't opt for the combination I have over there as it might become a bit draining. Plus you don't really have the driving roads we do that I use every day to make it worthwhile, so I guess at the end of the day it depends on what you want the car for and what the conditions are you are going to use it in. Does make it look great though!!!
