Updated BMW pics, now with chrome.
« on: 04 April 2010, 19:42:02 »

Here's how the BM looks now, with all it's chrome add ons and better images than before. Added chrome bits are, mirror surrounds, wheel nut covers, rear light surrounds, side repeaters, chrome lower bumper strip, and chrome number plate holders.

Pictures:








































Hope you like it  :y

I think the rear lights give it a touch of class. Before they look so boring and samey.  :y


Can't comment on the rest though.

think i preferred rear light clusters without chrome myself  :-/

But if you like it thats all that matters  :y

Interesting to see BM also suffer from that 'soft touch' plastic that the facelifts have, can see it starting to go around the start button:

Sorry Del, but the rear light chrome surrounds really spoil it for me. The rest of the chrome looks ok, but they look fake. I've found from a fair few people I talk to, that people with chrome on their cars they want to de-chrome and people without want to add it. BMW on the e39 and e60 offered de-chroming.

Yeah, this just looked so boring without the chrome bits, I mean boring and dull too. It's the wheels, I think they just look totally wrong and I don't know why.

Yeah they don't suit the car some how, in-fact most of the 'standard' BMW alloys look a bit shite if i am honest, 19" M Sport ones look best:



Makes ride a bit poor though  :(

SE suspension is comfy, they're 18" MV2's, spider style is 19's  :y I want the 19's too, but £300 for one wheel, or £420 for replica's brand new but thats without tyres, which are 245/35/19 and 275/30/19, so that another 500 on tyres for a decent make  :(
