Pin striping on a BMW ? Seen any ?

baz843 · 12-11-2005, 10:07 PM

Hey! Anyone out there ever do pin striping on an E90? I have Ti Silver and am imagining black pin striping from front to tail...maybe. If you've done it, send me pics.

ksfrogman · 12-12-2005, 12:24 AM

Haven't noticed any newer cars with pinstriping. I personally feels it cheapens the already clean and elegant design. Then again, this only my opinion.

jdcueto · 12-30-2005, 03:48 PM

NO striping!!!

Saosin17 · 12-30-2005, 04:13 PM

any stripes belong only on muscle cars. if you put one on the e90, i would hope that BMW's CEO would come over personally and kick you in the nuts. Just my opinion.

do it and take lots of pictures
we can use the laugh..

j/k

One of the guys at our New Jersey mini-meet had it on his TiAg. Didn't look half bad. I can't remember who it was though.

Do whatever the hell you want. It's your car.

CnoteMD · 01-02-2006, 05:34 PM

There are many types of car customizations and modifications that I don't particulary care for, including pinstriping. However, it seems that if the right brand name is attached to a style people will buy it.

For example, almost every Alpina modified car I have ever seen has an excessive amount of pinstriping included, but I have yet to see anyone complain about it

I remember seeing the car with the pinstriping at the NJ/NYC meet and I didn't even notice it until I came close.

You can do a pinstriping with bmw's m3 colors like on the 6 series. Let me know, I can cut it for you. I will do a design and post it up.

shragon · 01-11-2006, 11:43 AM

pin striping... no thanks.

IDENTITY_MOTORSPORTS · 01-11-2006, 02:50 PM

Here ya go

0311Doc · 02-24-2006, 01:23 PM

Me personally, I might give my E90 some pinstripes once I start receiving my pension or retirement checks....Hell NO! Hey, it's your car, do whatever you want with it.

I think Alpina uses pinstripes.

ha ha, he did a MUCH better job on the IS. this one is just kind of pasted there...

ksfrogman · 02-28-2006, 10:50 AM

No, I suck at Photoshop. I didn't do the IS. I found that already modified on another website. This latest attempt shows my real skill (or lack of it).

Arkansas3 · 02-28-2006, 04:01 PM

yeah on closer inspection i see it's just a cut and paste job. amateur.

SteveMD · 02-28-2006, 04:48 PM
