My version of our car fellas!
Hello guys, after the Bimmerpost guys finally decided to upgrade their app so we are able to upload pics from the phone, I've decided to waist no time and do something that I've been wanting to do for a while, which is sharing with you some pics of my baby. Since I've been lazy to go through with the steps for uploading from PC.
So here she is: All comments and thoughts are welcome..... (these are iPhone pics only) |

Car is intense!
Did you use a film to tint your rear lamps or did you spray them? If you sprayed them, how much, where and are they smooth to the touch? Thanks! |

Well as far as taillights, the pics where u see the tinted lights, is when it was done the wrong way. My shop sprayed it too dark and with the lights on it wasn't very clear. We since respray end them with a much lighter color to resemble the 2013 darker taillights. It looks stunning now and I'll try to post better pics of them soon. Never use film as it will have a Matt finish. U have to use clear coat mixed with some black. That way it looks shiny, and flows with the car. |

Well it is an M-sport model and I do have custom engraved and painted caliper covers with ///M sign on them and that's why the M badge does belong on the car in my opinion. As far as wheels: Forged1 Seven Mesh 2 Tone Deep Concave - Rear 22x11.5 Medium Concave - Front 22x9.5 Tires are: Pirelli Pzero Nero 315/25/22 285/30/22 |

M trunk emblem.
I see your point about mSport, but M trunk emblems are for M cars only. Otherwise, it makes as much sense as a 535i mSport with an M trunk emblem. It sends the wrong message and degrade the hard work you've done to the car. Overall, well executed. Those wheels are sick. |

Those are not protectors. I had the the seats customized and had the upholstery guy install the black suede instead of the white leather that required a lot of cleaning...... I figured to do that as the entire interior is already white and black so it came out very original..... |

Don't know how many inches. Was thinking of doing super sport H&R or something that would drop it a bit more but can't afford that on the city streets of NYC. |

It was a shop in BK, forgot the name of it. I was recommended there. It cost $450 which included wheel alignment. It was the best price I was able to find. |
