DUDE!! wtf - i know a lot of people that would have loved to switch out their 325 grills for a 330 chrome grill....

also your going to get rock chips all over that grill.

Other then that - it looks good, looks like a 325 now

SoySauce · 05-28-2007, 09:42 PM

It's a speical paint that can be peel off if is needed

... yes it is a 325 already.

Wait...

you have a 325, and it bought it with a chrome grill?

you pretty much changed it back to stock....(all 325/328's) have grills the way yours is now, from the factory??

Did you change out the lower finishing rods too? or did you buy it that way? those should be black too.... Did you buy your car new, from a dealer?

i bought it that way from new centery bmw dealer, didn't know it shouldn't be chrome ?! haha cool i like the lower rods chrome.. but not the grill

callaways ? which set? im about to get the callaways X-tours .. i hate my clubs .. lol actaully went to hit 18s on sunday

oneshare325 · 05-29-2007, 12:00 AM

Yea some one changed out grill and lower trim, the lower trim should be an alum color, and the grill should have black slats, someone changed both of them.
(no bmw has chrome finishing rods)

My clubs are about 10 years old, they were my dads old set, he recently got new ones...I have no idea what they are!

Greeney · 05-29-2007, 12:22 AM

btw, the X-Tours are good. I hit with the X-Fordges for a while but went back to my Mizuno MP60s

montreal_bimmer · 05-29-2007, 12:27 AM

BTW, if your looking for really good clubs at a more affordable price, check oout the adams line of irons, idea A2... great irons....

ejazbmw · 05-29-2007, 01:56 PM
