Time to ///M-plify

hkj · 07-13-2006, 03:24 AM

Well, it's finally here!!

I ordered my M-aerodynamic kit through the local BMW dealership on June 6th. After much waiting and hassles dealing with the body shop (a very long story. I'll post more on this later), it's now finally painted and installed.

The car looks fantastic with the OEM M-aerodynamic kit. The carbon fiber rear diffuser is not very noticeable when paired with sparkling graphite body colour. Overall the car looks much more aggressive with the M-kit and IMO BMWNA should have included this as part of their sports package on all 3-series.

For those who are interested, the M aerodynamic kit can be ordered from dealerships for around $1200. The carbon fiber rear diffuser is about another $700. If you plan on purchasing this definitely do join your local BMWCCA chapter. Most dealerships offer 10% discounts on parts to BMWCCA members. :rocks:

Anyway, after work I went to the nearby mountain roads and took some photos of my M-sport E90 bathing in the California sun. So, without further ado, here are the picturess. Enjoy!

dissagree..i think the rear looks very good and luxury.

hsiaochinsan · 07-13-2006, 04:26 AM

Very nice, Ben.
Now you need to get some aftermarket rims. Remember I have 2 sets for sale~

Agreed. The whole car looks great! Congrats. You need a drop though.

txusa03 · 07-13-2006, 07:49 AM

man, i like what you did with your car. the CF rear diffusser is sweet, would look great on my TS as well (i think). I will vote you as our BMWNA represenative.

roburado · 07-13-2006, 08:16 AM

Nice.

I guess you didn't like the CF splitters for the front and the CF rear spoiler thing (don't know if that's an add-on to the OEM spoiler or the OEM spoiler with CF look).

It would be nice to be able to order these M-tech pieces as options instead of aftermarket. I mean, if I get these M-Tech bits aftermarket, I've already paid for the bumpers that came with the car. What a waste.

vladinecko · 07-13-2006, 08:26 AM

that looks really cool. i wasn't a fan of the kit for the longest time, but it started growing on me.

hey, where exactly did you take the pics? the surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful.

Gitta · 07-13-2006, 08:38 AM

Wow, looks great!

rossmelvin · 07-13-2006, 09:04 AM

i love the m sport kit i would do it to my car but i cant keep my car

ksfrogman · 07-13-2006, 09:12 AM

Congrats Ben. We're twins now.

John · 07-13-2006, 09:38 AM
