Hey guys. Finally finished exterior mods on my new BSM M sport 335xi with the addition of the M rear diffuser. Looking to get your guys' opinions on whether there is enough contrast on the rear end or not. I added the black chrome exhaust tips, rebadged the car, and put some matte black vinyls over the reflectors. Should I switch back to the red reflectors? Chrome tips? Also have the M splitter, M side extensions, and matte black grilles to keep in with the matte theme. Let me know what you guys think!

PS sorry for my blurred finger in one of those pics

Red reflectors.

Looks awesome. Maybe the red reflectors will break up all the blackness, but I like it!

i think it flows well right now and matches perfectly. I like it without the red reflector there. The reaer diffuser adds some contrast and texture difference so its not so plain

Yeah in person you can tell even more that it's a different color, as the texture and non metallic finish set it apart. Think I will leave it but wanted some opinions. Will post some pics of the front/ side that I snapped during a grocery run tonight.

Heres the pics. Getting it coded tomorrow. Should I code out the side markers? Or is that too ricer? Also I know that its possible to brighten up the angel eyes, and to also keep them on when the low beams are on. Any thoughts on those options? Has anyone done this and can post pics? Same question goes to ability to have parts/all of the rear lights on as DRLs.

I know wheels look a little small (stock 18"s) but in person with the spacers I like them more than enough to keep them for the time being.

Looks great, red reflectors in the rear and I'd get some springs next! That should complete the look

I agree, that wheel gap would look great if it were smaller (damned Xdrive). However, seeing as its a lease (for now, loving it so much am already planning on buying it out) the fact that I live in the Northeast, and that I already worrty about the height of the front end with the splitter, I am kind of against lowering it. With that being said, would the H&R super sports lowering springs that I have seen many use on here void my warranty or give my dealer fits?

And in person, the gap seems smaller with the wheels pushed out due to the 10mm front and 15mm rear spacers. From my research (ECS website) HR sport springs lower 1" in front and .75" in rear. Can anyone confirm or deny?

That has been my concern.....I am in CLE and just clear most driveways with the stock M-Sport bumper. Like the splitter but think it would get beat up pretty quick. I am not Xdrive so you have a bit more clearance to work with.

I would try the red to break up the black. I have extra stock ones if you are close you can swap them in to see if you like the look....just lmk.
I have the black tips too but they flaked off over the winter. Gonna get them RMAd and just swap them for summer when I do the wheels.

Let me know if you get info on the headlight mods......I'd be down for that if someone can point me in the right direction or has any before/after pics.

I did keep the red in the back, to break up a little the amount of black.
I also prefer the polished tailpipe that came with my MPExhaust.

As for lowering, I live up in Canada, so should also be concerned with the height (since the climate can be harsh sometimes here), but I'll still lower it a bit (H&R Sport or Dinan).

I like it black in the back The first thing I did was remove my rear and side reflectors for BSM colour-matched versions.
