i like this one

All this hate on the M-Tech rear.... The sedan rear is actually quite an improvement visually IMO.

Not sure anything's really that overrated. It's all opinion-based in the first place, so it just is what it is. It's not like there's some definitive rankings board somewhere, where we can see who is #1, 2, etc....

There are a lot more than 2 members on this forum who have it, including me.

It's just a bling-bling imho, not nearly as comfortable as the perforated M-tech I had previously. Worst mod money ever spent on my car. I should've got this instead.

But to each of his own.

over = Anything cf, black things like wheels/roofs/grilles, painted reflector and wide tires

under = low offset wheels/stance

samchoi604 · 11-17-2009, 10:21 AM

Overrated: any comsmetic mods, especially replica wheels, fake cf wrapping, or anything that tries to make your regular e90/92 look like an M3

OVERRATED DOES NOT MEAN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE IT OR RARITY...

OVERRATED: Giving something to much praise than it is worth.
