just because art and fashion are born in italy in front of ur eyes does not mean that u personally have good taste sir

but considering u think that the e90 is a nice car and that this means u have some sort of clue, i'll give u benefit of the doubt this time

I just would like to remember that I am talking about the rear, and only about the rear (love the aero rear). I do not like at all the aero front, and of course I do not like the spoiler. If I was force to choose an entire KIT I'll go for the Msport.

i definately agree thomas... i think the line that flows with the standard bumper is a much more elegant finish to the side profile. In profile, the aero and m-sport rear bumpers don't look bad at all, but when you compare it to the standard bumper, they look less 'fitted'.

here's the pics: 1. standard bumper and side skirt - notice how the line from the side skirt seems to follow effortlessly into the rear bumper.

2. m-sport bumper and side skirt - no line!!!

I also like the rear of the aero kit. That's the only part of it I like, but as I stated earlier I prefer the M kit.

I think the aero looks nicer. The only thing that I don't like about the sports kits is the black "diffuser" bit on the lower rear - looks very cheap IMO.

I think they rear M-tech bumper with the Aero Kit lip would be pretty cool.
Maybe check out the kit from e92kits.com. I think painted pics should be out soon of the entire kit on a car. Looks pretty sweet.

Not a big fan of any of the spoilers yet though.

i have the black gloss trim in the e46 we have at home - personally i think it's pretty boring, makes the interior just black - u know what i mean, black leather, black trim

i find aluminium trim makes the interior a bit brighter

if ur dad really wants to get wood, there's this dark wood - think it's called grey poplar or something - maybe a bit better than brown wood if u get what i mean

he should get the carbon fibre trim hahah :rocks:

M-sports kit for me. The aero-package is too agressive for me. I like the subtle sporty styling from M-sport package.

It 'flows' over the rear wheelarch, making the car just a bit fatter at the back, that's why the line isn't there on the rear bumper. I like it. It allows you to run with bigger tires in the back.
