^ it's being sold by one of the sponsors on the forum, IMHO, it doesn't flow as good as the E46.

the e90 is more curved than the e46... so flow will have to be alot better.

no it doesn't.

My biggest gripe (and it's nothing to do with the cf hood mfg.), is just how the A pillar and hood meet. Having the cf hood on a light color car makes it look choppy.

Simple solution -- have the edges of the hood painted to match your car's color. Visually it will flow better.

....but hey, just my opinion! your car, it should reflect your style. god speed!

yes now that looks better. Now if BMW would bring back that 02 INCAN Orange that would be sweet in my opinion instead of the AW.
