Call me crazy, but the chrome grill surrounds give the car a defining face. I'm sure that was the objective of the F30 designer. That distinctive BMW face disappears when the grills are all-black on a dark coloured car. Clearly, some folks view this change positively !
I wouldn't change anything style-wise with the Sportline - I believe the designer did a brilliant job ! And those 397 wheels are one of BMW's best ever wheel designs- even better looking IMO than either of the M Sport package wheels. |

And yeah the 397s are definitely one of BMW's nicer wheels, just wish they were staggered. |

About 10-15 minutes. Just uscrew the top of the bumper and it pulls back a little so you can get your hand back there.
Thank you sir. Quote:
I think youre spot on though, it looks better on lighter color cars, like white and silver. But when you see it in person you may change your mind And yes I tip my hat to the designer of the f30 he did an outstanding job IMO.

I really like the M Performance Grills and have them installed on my 335i. I also ordered the painted reflectors as it will give the car a great flowing colour.
However I don't feel I should plasti dip the silver 'whiskers' close to the fog lights...just me but that's how I feel...it gives the car a great contrast...

OP: Your car does look very nice, though. What percent tint are you running? It looks sleek without being "murdered out" I'm guessing the next mod will be painted reflectors |
