M3 sides all the way. More aggressive and is very complimentary on AW e92's. LTBMW will custom fit to 100% for extra $$.

M3 sides are definitely more aggressive. But if you want a straight factory bolt-on then go with the M-tech's.

I was gonna say M3 but what other body parts you got??? You have ALL OEM and just want M3 sides??? If that's the case I would say you better stay with OEM. M3 sides are nice but gotta have other front/rear bumper to go with. M3 sides alone will look out of place IMO.

Another thing is if you were to go with M3 sides, I would take my time and find something that fits right such as the Longtran OEM modified version.

If you want a clean look go w/ the Mtech sides. For a more pronounced, aggressive look go w/ the M3.

Non-M's don't have the aggressive fenders/body lines to pull off the m3 sides successfully. The mtech is pretty aggressive as is and flows the best with the 335/328.

i definitely like the look of the M3 skirts better...i just don't like the gap that is visible when the door is open with the OEM M3 skirts. if i were to get M3 skirts...i'd probably go with the M-force ones.
