Great work. Looking forward to the black M5 knob.
I'm planning to do some simple mods as well.

If possible, can you take pictures of the interior (with the LED Lights). That's one of my first changes I plan to make.

Actually, there is a pic with the LED in the first page with the black headliner:

Nah..... Need to wait till I'm done with the rotation so that I don't have drive over lots of bumps~ Don't want to scrape the car at this point. Also, even if I lower it, it would just be about 25mm in the front and 20mm in the back. Nothing drastic like your slammed E92

It does. The holes aren't showing up very well because of the crappy cell phone pic

Undecided about the audio upgrade coz wife doesn't like the thumping sound...... also if it were done, it had to look and function 100% like stock.

is it the camera sucks or what? the side skirt and the rear bumper looks like the colour doesnt match that well?

Tint is coming. Can't decide on whether I want to do HO tints again. The Formula 1 dealer is in Portland, ME. The HO dealer is in the 'burbs but the guy basically said that he has no confidence that the tints will come out looking ok. I guess I might go with the Llumar ATX 35%

It's the camera. I noticed that too. I went downstairs to check on it again. The color might be a little off on the side skirts, but don't look as pronounced as the pics. I might have them redo it when I do the Vorsteiner hood or trunk.

well i heard the side skirt is a bit hard to match the colour
but the rear bumper should be perfectly match
they should paint it a bit whiter for the side skirt....
i have learned from the past ....ask them to match the colour and show it to u before painting it....that way is safer...
because the 300 AW it actually is a bit yellowish if u dun match the colour 1st....

Kit523 · 05-23-2008, 09:15 PM

how much did the hamann side cost u???!?!?
balllller!!! lol
is it fiber glass or plastic?

Thanks for the tip. I'll have them redo it with the hood down the road for 100% match.

Hamann sides I believe are 1100 / pair, ask Lewis @ MW Design for more info.

The side skirts are fiber glass, aka FRP. Hamann is just like Lorinser to Mercedes Benz, all their body kit parts are still fiber glass, but they fit reasonably well.

Day time pics with a slightly better camera, weather is not that great though:

I know the color is a little off, and the entire will be back to the shop for the Vorsteiner trunk soon, so that'll be fixed at that time.
