My Brooklyn Grey G42 build

Ishan99 · 07-27-2022, 02:40 PM

Where did you get the OEM fender flares from?

M3ANSPEC · 07-27-2022, 02:49 PM

That's hot!

Kingpin4 · 07-27-2022, 02:49 PM

Nice build. Props for making front page !

BMthusiast · 07-27-2022, 03:09 PM

So this is actually a B48 M-Sport Shadowline? It's one mean looking four-banger!! Sick build.

Gorgeous. Well done.

6speed_M2 · 07-27-2022, 03:52 PM

I've seen one or two of these in the wild & when they're rolling they look menacing.

Well done

Black does look good but the can't stand the glossy oem wheels, they are getting dirty real fast. I'd go for satin black, champagne gold or antrecite wheels

The right shade of gold or bronze would look pretty good.

Absolutely beautiful, and tasteful moded! Grats!

Agree. Wider tires, concave wheels.

Yeah he asked who changed the header….admin of course lol

E63M6_G42M240i · 07-27-2022, 06:46 PM

Well done! I'd go carbon grill while you're at it.

j23 · 07-27-2022, 07:08 PM

If this is any indication of how awesome the next M2 will look, then I'm sold.

bimmerBiz · 07-27-2022, 09:46 PM

Sharp car! I do hope they bring back the double corona rings or angle eyes, whatever you want to call them.

yuvalt · 07-27-2022, 10:56 PM

Beautiful build!! I have similar m240i with exact same colors but I didn't not change anything off the original looks. Plan to start with a smaller rear spoiler. Can you share a picture of the exhaust tips? Did you consider changing to a quad?

What is it a m230i ?
Regardless what a beautiful car and you did such a nice and tasteful job on the mods 👍🏻👊🏻

jb001 · 07-28-2022, 03:59 AM

I just wished they made the taillights sleek and narrow. They kinda look like a blob and out of place to me. Nearly every other recent BMW model has a narrow and sleek design for the taillights.

Magnificent build. Congratulations times 2!
