Performance Stripes Retrofit
Ok, I understand stripes are not everybody's cup of tea.
I get it, but ever since I saw the photos in this thread http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=707855 I decided to try those stripes out on my e91. I really like the shape of the e91, especially now that I've deleted the roof rails and added the BMW Performance aerodynamics kit but from certain angles, and especially on the pre-LCI, I'm reminded of Chris Bangle and his penchant for "flame surfacing" his designs. I'm hoping to add a little more "crispness" with the way the stripe draws the eye to the shoulder line, accentuates the length of the car and the bulge of the front fender flares. But that's me. Anyhow, I looked everywhere I could think of and couldn't find very much detailed information or installation instructions. Just thought I'd share the instruction manual I received from my BMW dealer with anyone who might be interested. The manual is entitled: Performance Strips Retrofit BMW 1 Series (E81/E82/E87/E88) BMW 3 Series (E90/E91N/E92/E93)

I really like the stripes! The fact that they're oem is appealing to me, and they are designed to work with the lines of the car. Look great on AW too and might make an appearance on my e90!

Pricey, but as you mentioned, they're OEM. If you're interested you can find the part number for your car on RealOEM "vehicle trim" section down at the bottom of the page if you select "Switch to Images Drill Down". Part numbers start with 5114........

I'm glad you like them.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll post pictures after the install.
