My M3 · 08-19-2024, 05:31 PM

Great choice & colour. Very well done

Sharp! Thanks for sharing.

Idk why i5 m60 have polarized opinion- its a clean modern design imo

Game · 08-19-2024, 07:42 PM

Legit thought this was an M5 at first glance. Looks great.

wdeerfield · 08-19-2024, 08:40 PM

Looks great! I think a color match trunk lip would blend better but overall nice looking ride you got there.

Always use rubber or plastic stem caps. Metal ones, even aluminum can get stuck. Not worth it

Actually, 3 things to say about that:

First of all, thanks for the tip!
My caps (which look a lot like those) actually have a plastic insert where the threads are so it is plastic touching the actual stem, and metal on the outside.
Lastly, I replaced them recently with the official BMW M caps that RichardInCA has. These new ones are all metal, but I figure they are BMW OEM caps, so they should be ok.

Here is a current picture. Maybe I'll go back and forth every now and then. We'll see.

Stunning!

Looks good... All you need now is some spacers front/back to give it the aggressive look. Enjoy!

Would add felt to door pockets as well. How do G68 window buttons look?

Looks awesome, OP. I love what you did to the roof - completely changes the look and obviously for the better.

Can you share the part numbers for the other 2?

Mac545 did you install entrance covers on the rear door sills as well?

@Musti3000

Could you post the link of where you found those buttons?
How was the installation process?
