E90 owners aged 22~30 yrs old: Eyelids? vote!

lux.sh · 05-09-2007, 09:28 AM

I had eyelids on(as you can see in pics) which I took it off couple of months ago. I thought it was too "ricey" for a bimmer.

I thought of putting it back on recently but Im still hesistating.

Those e90 sedan owners(aged anywhere between 22~30), you think its a good idea?

p.s: reason Im asking to those people specifically anywhere between 22~30 is because usually most(not all) teenagers think "rice" is cool. No offense, I know there are younger peeps out there with great taste in modding.

I don't think they look bad, but I personally wouldn't put them on. The way the hood, front fenders and headlights are shaped kind of works against the lids. I think the lids would look better if they didn't have to sweep back so far to cover the lights and meet the fender.

Still can't trust anyone over 30...

(Myself included)

FWIW, I'm the conservative type -- stealthy, "Boxer in a Business Suit", so no extra do-hickies unless they add performance or practical use.

IM 28 and I dont like eyelids on any car. They look tacked on and dont flow with the car. I always thought your car looked clean but did not like the eyelids one bit.
BTW which fog light bulbs do you have?

jfulcher · 05-09-2007, 10:04 AM

What are eyelids?

ksfrogman · 05-09-2007, 10:13 AM

85s included! and knowing you ksfrogman, you have a very good taste for a car so you are an exception even if you are a teen.

Paul330d · 05-09-2007, 11:25 AM

NOOOOOOOO. Eyelids were originally designed to give OTHER cars that 'aggressive/frowning BMW front'. BMWs DON'T need them, but if you must, get some silver CF ones that say Brembo on them - they provide an extra 3hp.

shragon · 05-09-2007, 11:34 AM

no.

BMW F22 · 05-09-2007, 11:41 AM

I was thinking about getting them a while back but decided not too. They make the car look too funky.

SinCity89 · 05-09-2007, 12:10 PM

I like the eyelids on the E46s and older, but for some reason these just don't flow right. Then again I am 39 so I don't count.

Yvette · 05-09-2007, 12:16 PM
