Revamped my interior Gloss black on all trim pieces except center console. Kept my red steering wheel trim and start stop button surround to keep it sexy still

I like it much. It really makes a statement and the car feels 'longer', but not much. Just enough that you notice it is different from any other 3-series you see. I've always enjoyed the look of the 3-series over the 5 and 7-series - those are just too, un-sporty to me, but I have always like a nicely, complemented sidemarker on a vehicle - whether it was an air intake or anything else.
It's raining here today, but I'll post a couple pics soon. Unlike some folks who just want to have the pure Euro-look, I actually don't mind the amber color of the lights/side-reflectors) and enjoy enough of the stock look to keep most of it, and that is why I went with it (instead of white). It looks great signaling and everything matches. The chrome and its length really sets it off.

Those look very nice! I'm tempted to pick up a pair for my vehicle now but had a question before I order. Are the LEDs bright enough during the day to be seen clearly? Are there any bulb out warnings on the dash? Would hate to run around getting resistors or recoding done on the car.
Also, that surround looks awfully close to the door or is that just an illusion? I might go ahead and order a glossy black surround with amber LEDs to match the high gloss shadowline trim on my vehicle. |

Since my last update. I got my baby some new stuff. A face lift as seen in my signature picture looks hot and runs a bit cooler with less restriction of air in front.
Also, added LED angels 6K. Decided to go with Alpina B3 transmission flash to improve 6-speed steptronic and loving it. The Alpina B3 transmission "Drive" mode is more fuel efficient and cuts back on exhaust noise in daily driving by shifting into 6th gear by the time you get to 40 mph. By 30 mph it is already ready to shift in 5th. Turn it over to Manual mode and yank on paddles and the car has very quick shifts faster then factory settings also rev matching is fun........worth every penny..... Decided to also go with wider rear tires in back 275/30/19. I was previously running 265/30/19. The new tires give it a more wider stance and I like it. A bit more expensive compared to 265/30. Next up my sealed CAI AFE is on its way for better breathing. Quote:

No codes or warnings. Plug-and-Play. Probably an illusion in the picture. There is a good centimter between the end and the door line - I wish there was a little more space though (another 1cm), yes, just from a looks perspective, personally. Many cars have markers that go all the way to the door line. Just a simple/quick (~3 minutes total) upgrade that looks good and I've already received several compliments on it since it is not common, apparently.
