Pinstriping a white 328i

JohnnyT · 09-25-2010, 06:39 PM

I'm thinking about getting a pinstripe on my white 328i. I'd love to see some pictures or get some ideas from you guys.

I saw a pinstripe on a 335i on a local used car lot that looked great. I believe it was a double strip that was dark brown and beige.

It looked really sharp but I can't remember the detail definitively and the car was sold. (It was a 2007 335i, white, with only 6k miles. This was about 4 weeks ago. $28k.)

Any suggestions you can offer are greatly appreciated.

At my local dealership they had a white coupe with some BMW Performance goodies. One of these was a gray/black pinstripe along the side. It looked like vinyl to me. It was thinner at the front and was about 1" to 2" in the rear. It actually looked pretty good in my opinion.

Here is the image that I found:

Search "bmw performance 3 series" and look at images for more pictures. Something simple but looks pretty good if that is the look you want.

The BMW performance stripes are just boring and note very good looking at all IMO. The tii performance stripes down that car is classic and agressive. If I were to ever do anything like this, the tii stripes would be my choice. Of course I would probably never get to that point.
