Sold the Amuse, using M-tech with CF splitters as temporary till the 1M3 is ready Rear shot of CD Arkym trunk and and CF diffuser. Pipes: Akrapovic Akrapovic D/Ps for next installation. Cheers!

And yes, Akra stuff are amazingly nice to look at. My friend's running the same evolution on his 335i and his whole midpipes and tailpipes have turned into titanium blue! |

IMO the M-Tech front looks amazing with those CF splitters but since your rocking those beautiful M3 mirrors my vote goes for the 1M bumper good luck on the new bumper and i cant wait to see the finished look!

I have Agency Power downpipes which look similar to your downpipes pictured here. I am running a stock exhaust with my downpipes and it sounds like an E46 M3 but a little richer. I don't want a very loud car so I most likely will never get a new exhaust system.
Yours will be much louder since you have an after market exhaust system but shouldn't be too bad.

The Mtech and 1M bumpers look awesome, the Amuse is too busy for stock fenders IMO. And the quality of those downpipes....wow.

I feel like everyone is going for the m1 or m3 look so I would say just do mtech i've always thought it looked clean. if your going for a more aggressive look than I would say m1.

The Amuse one had me loling, who would buy that? Maybe a heavily modded widebody M3 can pull it off but in that first pic its just looks like an insult to BMW

It costs me a bomb! And I can't see it after mounted, and when un-install its all will be black and darken. This is what i meant by one-time-glance luxury product which you only get to see once after buying it, and then after install you wont see the rest of the life in non-dirty condition haha Quote:
haha it does at one sight due to the curves line from the headlight to the mouth, but it grows on me.. kinda miss it now I need to recover my funds after spending on a new 1M bumper and then labour work on the 1M3 bumper! d Quote:
