thank you! The car was just washed though I had my paint sealed with gTechniq which helps with the shine.

I bought the grille from JBSpeed. Check out this post for more pics and details:

If you want a M3/M4, just buy one FFS, if you can't afford it, then save up and then buy.
I dont want another mod-warning for abuse (were not, but was treated as), but if a 3xx driver try to rule a 4xx driver for "misusing" M-symbols...well, if the world hasnt enough problems, go ahead.
For me: I badge my car as I want it, because it is my car and I give a **** about other peoples thoughts, especially when the point of view differs as much as given caused by the models.

BTT: Heres the comparing of the blue tones:

Wait....is that your door trim? How'd you get it blue? Or did they add that in '15's? Mine are black. Only the dash accents are blue.

The quote button should really only quote the last thing written and no pics? ?

Interesting, in MY14 the aluminum hex only had blue on the dash pieces. I wish the door trim was like yours. They must have listened to customer feedback.

Weird. My 435 is MY'14 and with hexagon trim, I got blue accents across dash AND on doors. I like the blue accent as it ties to the MSport brake calipers on the exterior. I only wish the hex trim were black or CF (I'd really like to get rid of all chrome on the entire car...). I have seen threads where folks have CF wrapped interior trim, but I haven't mustered up the courage for fear of breaking tabs and making a mockery of the wrap job.

Thats right, I saw this first into a 430d in melbourne red with hex/blue inside and also blue stichtes at the velour seats. Was love on first sight and although I got at least dakota leather inside I love the blue accents. The hex style was annoying me on the other hand very quick and I wrapped them with CF wrap, you should take a look at the "Dinoc" Thread, where also a new pic of my wrapped base plate of the shift lever is shown.
The work itself isnt as hard as it seems, patience and a bit skill is required.

CF wrap looks good. Well done, good job.

M4 badge, cringeworthy. Posing your car as something it isn't. Each to their own I guess.

I got the metallic version which is the same shade as Dang3rs CF wrap. It's pretty close to the OEM blue.

Dang3r...are your door handles wrapped?? They look like the OEM CF. I imagine these are easy to wrap if you pop them off first.

Check out the "DINOC CA-421" thread. I followed the lead of a few folks with that look and wrapped my interior yesterday. Wanted that look and achieved it for $40 and about 4 hours to remove trim, wrap, and replace.

Blue wrapped rods on Alpine White F32, if anyone is wondering how it might look on their AW ride. Got my roof wrapped black this week as well. Will get some better pics outside soon and post. It's been snowing all day here in Colorado.

Looks cool, did you choose another blue tone for the wrap? Seems darker than mine.

TourVinyl - 3d Carbon Fiber Vinyl Car Wrap - Blue. Not sure if that the same as what you used...

Dunno the exact designation of the wrap, anyway, also nice work.

When I said OEM blue, I meant the interior M Sport blue trim. I don't think that's the same as Estoril Blue paint, which is a brighter blue. I can take a pic of the vinyl next to the blue trim if you'd like. My car is BSW.

Take a look at this here, I think that this is what you mean. The tone is close but not close enough to EBII.
