Stunning car! It really looks the business!

If it were my car, I'd debadge it (Remove 120d) for a cleaner look and remove the Matte from the rear tail lights (or is it just my eyesight?) and then finally have some straight exhaust tips made for the car.

Wheels look great in black!

+1 , you think like me...
(the rear of this car still looks better that the current "2" series imo, and those camera angles really show off the purposefull rear wing on this car!)

was just looking at the pics again, that colour on that car looks awesome,

just my thoughts and a suggestion, maybe a black lip on that 1m bumper could look super mean and awesome, just food for thought:rollsmile:

awesome


I'm looking at getting it, I really like the look with it. I just want to see the ground clearance first because the sits pretty low already.

Thanks for the compliments!

The exhaust tips are coming soon. I am just looking for the perfect pipes. I never thought it was so hard to find what I want.
I'm leaving the badges and the matte on the lights on for now until i get bored of it. It gives the car a very unique look compare to every other e82 with a spoiler and diffuser

So its been just about over a year of having my car. Every day with it is more awesome than the last.

Not much has changed on the car. I haven't done much modding because I decided to custom loop my computer so I kinda used to modding money for computer parts :rollsmile:

The paint on my 1M bumper started chipping badly. Chips like these started appearing everywhere on the bumper

These started becoming so frequent that after every wash there will be less paint on the actual bumper. So in an effort to make it look somewhat decent I did some DIY patching, and covered up the biggest patch with some M stripes (it looked revolting)

I got the bumper resprayed, this is how she looks now:

I have also sprayed the "eyelids" of the headlights with plastidip, it is visible in some pictures above, for a different kind of look. I'm giving it a try to see if I like it, if not it will be removed.

I haven't done anything to the back. It still looks very much the same:

For the exterior that's pretty much all that was done for now. I would like to still get a carbon fiber splitter for the bumper and carbon fiber mirror caps. As time goes I will try and source them out.

For the interior there isnt anything done, besides for this:

Gladen SQX 10"
Mosconi one 130.2

It adds a much needed kick that was missing from the standard stuff, with saving almost all the boot space.

So that's how things are currently. Hopefully soon I will be updating with some new stuff :rollsmile:

Where you stuck on the highway, a weeks back with that hectic crash that one Saturday?


Car looks sweet :clapper:

Thanks man!

It was on a Friday, I think it was 2 weeks back, on the highway just next to The Glen. Traffic was terrible.

Cab looks genuine man :clapper:

I'm so tempted to carry out that number plate mod....especially the adhesive on the front bumper...:rollsmile:

Is it possible to actually leave the number plate in its holder and have this held up by the velcro? In that way looks like I haven't interfered with it at all:crazylaugh:
