I would have to say no, not a fan.

Edit: BTW its that your brothers 130i? How is it going with the car?

 

[WyKiD]

Pics not too clear, imo might look better colour coded.

 

[P1000]

No

 

[roboman]

Hi Sank... Well he loves the 130... even though he is paying more in fuel now, all he does to justify it is he just gives the 130 a good rev and its worth it. lol

@ everyone else... Thanks guys for the feed back. I really like the sort off built in eyelids you see on the 1 series and new 5 and 7 series... was hoping to achieve something similar..

I think it looks good.

Camiel...what are we looking at? I cant make out the differences..

 

[Sankekur]

I am glad to hear he is enjoying it.

Speaking of which, saw my first 1M today in Durbanville area - white, and just looked right! Was very brief though and in traffic, so didn't really get a chance to have a good look and listen! :nonono:

I think it's maybe the shape that puts me off - it seems to be rounded rather than almost straight - or slightly rounded but in the opposite way, rounded up, not down, if that makes sense...

Before eyelids

With eyelids

Hope that pics shows the difference better.

Yep, I think if they had less or no curve but a slight taper getting thinner towards the outer sides it would look a lot more muscular! :=):

Go for it, just do it in the same colour.
Look at the pics of my car when I had the silver eyelids, and then later in the thread when I changed the look with a different style. http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=8518
