Summer Look

Elbejoubmw · 04-16-2014, 05:06 PM

So I decided to just keep my Bremmer Kraft wheels that I had posted a couple months ago to sell and instead just painted them black and put them on new Hankook Ventus v12 tires. Also painted the aluminum trim around my windows and just ordered a new matte black grill (haven't received these yet tho).

NOT QUITE FINISHED YET THOUGH

Need some OPINIONS on the following:
1) 5% window tint on rear windows only?
2) Paint my calipers red, yellow, or black? I'm leaning towards yellow but what do you guys think?

Can't believe I've owned it for 4 years now... Feels like I just got it all over again.

What do you guys think?

you should probably lower first, it kinda looks like its hovering.

don't park in handicap spots. it's bad karma

Ok...Suspension, front bumper, tint side marker on fender, rear performance spoiler and your already getting window tint. I think that'll wrap it up.

Paint the calipers black unless your car is really aggressive or came with a paint BBK which it didn't.

Yah, you're completely right on the calipers. I kept tryna tell some of my friends that but they almost convinced me lol. Should I go with springs or coil overs? M-tech bumper is a must, I don't really like the stock ones much. If I can find a buyer for them, its ball game lol.

Personally I am on Eibach Pro kit springs, Bilstein shocks and struts, and Supreme power lowering perches. I drive 150-300 miles a day so I need comfort, functionality, and stance. I can achieve this with coils but I don't ride too low daily or have the time to drop the car when going to a show or a meet. With that said suspension is always what and how and where you drive this car.

+1 on going with Eibach Pro-kit with either Bilsteins or Koni Yellows, especially if you are going to be daily driving the car. I ran lowering springs with Koni Yellows on my old 335i and didn't find the need to have to go to coilovers.
