B/B 428i

Bluelondon · 04-18-2014, 12:20 PM

I know the black on black look doesn't have many fans, but I love it. So far I've only changed the grill, reflectors and 20% tints. I was planning on adding 19" black rims but I'm starting to think that will be a bit over the top.

Couldn't resist taking a few shots of her on such a beautiful day after a visit to the car wash

Looks great the way it is. Don't do black rims.

paulbrenneman · 04-18-2014, 12:45 PM

Love the black on black. Looks stealth. If you can get your hands on something like the black 19" rims for the m3, like a two tone silver thing, that could look cool. But I agree with you I think all black wheels would probably be too much.

black rims look like steel doughnuts most of the time.

car looks sick as is, is that the stock ride height? looks damn good

alienranch · 04-18-2014, 12:50 PM

I think it looks terrific. Not overly done but definitely makes an impression.

snowghost · 04-18-2014, 12:51 PM

Very nice!

34.50 · 04-18-2014, 01:05 PM

Looks good, and don't do black rims!

Bluelondon · 04-18-2014, 01:10 PM

Thanks man, yep stock height.

Looks great, leave it as is. The black kidney grilles look great on black cars.

BigVegas17 · 04-18-2014, 01:45 PM

Looks menacing! Agree that black rims would be too much of a good thing.

Ryan9095 · 04-18-2014, 02:03 PM

I think it looks great as is. I wouldn't change the wheels.

diablo2112 · 04-18-2014, 02:35 PM

Love my B/B 335i. It's been a few years since I owned a black car. As the saying goes, Black isn't so much a color as a hobby.

Congrats!

Bluelondon · 04-18-2014, 03:01 PM

Beautiful car Diablo

thx

Jparker82 · 04-18-2014, 03:13 PM

Yep it's a beauty. I had a 2013 AH3 335 M sport in all black with black wheel. Pics on here somewhere. I loved the looks of that car.

Blubaron79 · 04-18-2014, 04:01 PM

Like it. Keep it that way

TBLM235X · 04-18-2014, 06:40 PM

Looks amazing right now, definitely keep the wheels as is and don't go all black!

kent11202 · 04-18-2014, 07:03 PM

Blue, I think it looks GREAT as is so the question about changing wheels falls into the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" category.

ClubsportJunkie · 04-18-2014, 08:29 PM

I have the same setup on my 435i just got my black grills the other day

I would have to agree with everyone else not to change out the rims for black....It just looks god awful! I'm planning on buying some new tires though....Pilot Super Sports anyone? Good luck with the mods.

TBLM235X · 04-18-2014, 08:56 PM

Just had PSS's installed. IMHO, one of the best upgrades you can make!

ny176 · 04-18-2014, 10:05 PM

Looks beautiful! I have the same combo minus the tints. Congrats and enjoy!

AweSam8 · 04-18-2014, 10:07 PM

Don't black out your tail lights please.
