I think to most people's taste, a de-badged rear looks more cleaner (thus why IMO OP should take off the M badge). Looks aside, I still think OP can't rep that badge because he still is on stock suspension; Beside replica bumpers, OP isn't really rocking anything that deserves the title of M in my book.

as for my contribution, I think you got a pretty decent looking car here. You don't have amber in your headlights so you don't need those bulging eyelids for your car it really ruins the flow of the front end; its unnecessary and gimmicky.

if you can get your hands on some H&R springs or something for around $200 bucks you will get rid of the wheel gap you have right now and your drive will feel a little more sportier at least. I understand that money is an issue (I'm on stock wheels as well but on sports suspension), so I suggest you also get spacers to fill up your fenders.

other than that, you're car looks good; sure if you had an access to a lot of money I'll tell you to build a track car, but thats not the situation haha.

forgot to mention, please remove the ///M Badge. It just pops out too much for the rear

+23948392472389 on removing that M badge.

its not an M car. having M parts is one thing. labeling a car as an M is another. if you put on calvin klein clothes, does that mean you're a calvin klein model? no.

Great color to start things off.
To make this from "eh?" to "nice" all you need is a good set of 18 or 19in rims. Then you can deal with smaller things that detract from making it a good looking 3er, such as wierd eyelids (off) and M3 badge (off). Up to you, but I think M3 rear with single side exhaust looks weak. I'd go for centered quads ala M3 or just get Msport rear or even regular bumper.

Interior pics?

if you take off the M badge, the eyelids, and change the rims you'll be good. Some blacklines wouldn't hurt either. I'm feeling the front bumper though

personally the reason i hate it is because if its not an m dont put an m badge on there, and the rear bumper looks soo cheap if its truly not an m. but i do love the m3 rep front though

i agree that the rear bumper is not my personal style since i don't have quads =P I think a regular m-tech would be much cleaner since the exhaust exits on 1 side only.

and yes I agree also, its not M, then don't put it. but I guess he is still young and doesnt really understand what the significance of being ///M is. I dunno but as an enthusiast you're declaring something when you sport that badge. Also to clarify, I'm not saying an M3 badge (that's a declaration of a whole other thing), but just an M badge since BMW is now throwing on M on everything like an M550. I think to Rock an M badge, its declaring something and that's performance in motorsports. I personally think it tacky in looks alone but if for say Turbo Mike threw up an M badge on his car (again not M3 badge), I think he has every right to put up such a statement. But then again, it doesn't look as clean as his car is now.

ok guys i think u hate the m badge. hahahah u all hate it. good news. i was at my friends house yesterday and somebody pinched my m badge so thats it its gone. i just clayed my car, polished (meguiars) and waxed using the new ultimate liquid wax. cleaned the wheels and all.

ok so I'm saving money on my car. and i want some opinions of my list.

1- get the same muffler tips on the other side. so that they're quads but not like m3 quads. the bumper came pre-cut with muffler cut outs on the left. they cost around 200 for the other side.

2- wheels i was thinking 19" but i don't know black or silver. i was thinking black to go with the cf mirrors, grills and stripe.

3- i don't want to drop it cause its a bmw. i don't want to play too much with the germans master piece. but tell me way u think. i think 19" will fill the gap.

4- a carbon fiber lip.

WHY did i get so many hates? was it the m badge that pissed everyone off.

if my car had
a- no m badge
b- 19" black gt wheels
c- mild drop to H& R
d- quad tips

WOULD U LOVEEEEE IT?.
I WANT THE BEST LOOKING E90 IN SYDNEY.

Umm to the australian guy in sydney witht the silver e90 have u got a mobile number. I'm looking for a meet up. I'm really good with pictures so mant a photo shoot.

looks good

Your car looks great, however, the Mbadge took away from the whole ride's appearance and that's why you received the hate mail lol.

The car is actually super clean too, you have great detailing skills, the car's paint looks immaculate!

Save up some dough and do it right! We all work within our means, some of us/many of us are ballers on budgets

It's your car so love it, regardless of other's opinions, just try do do it right, absolutely no more Mbadges for you, dont even look at them, ya hear me! heh

+1 Take off that damn M badge man. Your car isn't even close to an M! U don't have the M-sport package, not even the sports package and you drive a 328i. Nothing about your car screams M, sry to bust ur bubble. What made you put an M badge on your car in the first place?
