Smile M3 Side Skirts Review

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a shout out and big thanks to Frank @ fastlane_imports!. I recently purchased a pre-painted set of m3 side skirts from him and am very happy. He sells through eBay and I have his contact info for those of you interested.

Long story short, Frank saw that I was about to purchase a set from a private seller and sent me a pm. Well I decided to go with the private seller and one of the skirts was damaged during shipping (still trying to get that resolved ). I contacted Frank right after this and he was more than happy to work with me rather than turning me away because I didn't purchase from him originally. He was more than professional, understanding and gave me a GREAT price. He's a top notch seller and glad that I bought from him. I ordered the skirts on a Wednesday and they were at my door that following Monday. I HIGHLY suggest going through Frank if you're in the market for cosmetic body parts, pre or unpainted

With that being said, here's the fitment pictures:

Delivered to my house:

Nicely packaged:

Nice and Shiny!

Extra Clips were included

Front End Fitment:

Door Sill Fitment:

Rear End Fitment:

.
.
.
And the finished product!




End Point: I'm very happy with the skirts and definitely vouch for Frank @ fastlane_imports ! Thanks Frank, you're the man!

So I guess the skirts from the guy that was sellin a ton of M3 versions, that everyone was jumpin ugly over to get without knowing the fitment, didn't work out all that well? Is that guy gonna give you a refund (especially for the damaged one)?

Fastlane skirts are polypropylene as stock

In your pics #'s 5 & 7, were they taken after the skirts were finish installed? Only reason I ask is cause the gap between the skirt and the fender in front & rear (especially front) looks bigger than factory. My stockers are tighter than that. Mebbe it's just the angle of the pic? Plus all his pics on eBay show that gap much tighter.

Front and rear look to line up well with the wheel wells

I see his ebay auctions also note that he gives a discount for e90post forum members

Yeah, I originally bought from the same guy. They were the older version made of FRP and they actually were pretty decent besides the busted portion. The guy was easy to work with, so I hope once the shipping damages claim goes through we can reach a resolution but who knows.

In regards to the pictures, there are a slight gap but hey they're Reps, not oem. The pictures are slightly angled downward though. I didn't feel like lying on my drive way to get on the same plane. Haha.

For being reps and the hassle I went/am going through, I'm happy. lol

Your car looks great! Kinda looks like mine except for the tint! Your M3 ss came in the exact box as mine. I ordered mine from Frank@MFD. After seeing your pics, I believe they may be in the same business! Very fast shipping indeed! Gotta love that BSM!!!

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words. Yeah, I believe Frank use to work for MFD or something like that. But MFD closed apparently.

Just checked out your garage and your car is clean! I've had mine for about 6 weeks now and have definitely "splurged" too much on the car already. Haha.. 13% Tint/Aero Lip/M3 Side Skirts/Vinyled the window trim/H&R Sport Springs w/ 12 & 15 mm spacers..ooowee..

oh, and mine is JB. Just needs a good detail. lol

Thanks and I feel ya bro! It's going on 4 months since I purchased my 335i. As you saw in my garage, all the things I've done. BTW this week, I will be Installing the M3 rep Front bumper, Mtec rear bumper, HID AE's, HID fogs, Matte Black grills, and UR Cold air intake. Oops, I almost forgot, I also purchased Philips 6700k D1S bulbs. It scares me to think of how much $$$ I put in to this car! I will be posting pics after I get back from vacation.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. Really happy with the way it came out. Yeah, I know it's not oem fitment but hey, not oem price either. haha.

I really like the way that the lines match up with the aero lip but now I need to figure out what to do with the rear fender.

Any suggestions?
