Opinions wanted: With or without accent stripes on E92 Moonstone?

Decorum · 08-30-2011, 08:36 PM

Hello all!

I've made some quick Photoshop mockups based on configurator images, of what the Performance Accent Stripes might look like on my soon-to-be-delivered E92 335i in Moonstone Metallic.

I'd like some opinions - what do you guys think, stripes or no stripes?

I have never actually seen Moonstone in person, but I suspect the configurator rendition of that paint color might not do it justice...

j2m · 08-30-2011, 10:18 PM

Please no

ceb · 08-30-2011, 10:30 PM

The answer obviously is without but it is amazing how different the car looks with the stripe.

rage · 08-30-2011, 10:34 PM

Without. Maybe add some flames instead if you're that interested in flashing it up?

Personally I'd say without.

Bumer · 08-30-2011, 10:38 PM

No stripes!

Blacktop3 · 08-30-2011, 10:41 PM

The stripe idea is interesting but you would have to do it really well and stickers are cheap looking to start with so they would have to be custom painted if anything.

I say go against the grain.

Drivaar · 08-30-2011, 10:52 PM

Wow that stripe just ruins all the clean lines on the car!

Without, definitely!!!

Without.

Why BMW would even release this garbage is beyond me.

Spoolin335 · 08-31-2011, 12:05 AM

Without. The stripes clash with the lines of the car..
