After a long look around... I've decided to go with this front splitter...

The other typical splitter you see around just wasn't for me....

Or this one?

Update... gonna go with the first one I listed... just looks cleaner...

Update 2... I don't know...

Added to the list. Posting links helps me keep the first post updated so I don't have to search for the things everyone is mentioning. Thanks

Hi all,

Just joined the forum and picked up an Estoril Blue 2015 435d Coupe last week - I will be making my own build thread soon, not going to thread jack.

One of the first things I did was switch out the stock chrome 4 series grill with a gloss black M4 (dual-slat) style grill - completely transforms the car and only cost £40-ish.

Would definitely recommend as a first mod to anyone!

Deen.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new car! It looks like a gorgeous spec.

+1 on the kidney grille swap. Dual-slat and black is the way to go, especially since they're so cheap.

What about tinting over the chrome on the headlight? I'm doing that to mine this week. Will either have to cut out a template or use knifeless tape to get the shape right. I have an LCI so the middle of the eyebrow basically has a huge turn signal. A cover wouldn't work, for me at least.

wish they had something like this for our cars...

Are you going to tint the whole light? ... it's illegal in NYC but from what I read as long as you don't go dark shouldn't be a problem...but not a bad Idea just to tint the brow...

What about this

What about this
Only thing with nite shades is it's not easily removable. And my car is not even a year old so I'd want something removable like tint. Specifically I'll be using Oracle film which is special for exterior tinting (headlights/taillights/reflectors)

Any chance you can post link? Hoping to find this for my f34, all of the ones I've seen are more than double the price.

Here's one of many:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fit-For-BMW...9Z9-1M&vxp=mtr

A quick amazon or eBay search will yield a ton of results. Shop around a bit for the best price.
