I just picked up my BMW 435i xDrive M Sport in Mineral Grey with Coral Red interior. I plan on doing a bunch of modifications to the car:

CF M Performance Front Lip
CF M Performance Rear Diffuser
CF Mirror Caps PURCHASED
CF Grills PURCHASED
CF BMW Roundels PURCHASED
CF & Alcantara M Performance Interior
Frozen Full Car Vinyl Wrap
VMR V710 Black 19" Wheels
M Performance Big Brakes (Haven't figured out the color yet)

**CF Parts from RW Carbon, Mod Bargains and Bimmian

My question is to everyone: Should I go with just Black Performance parts or spend the extra money on all CF Performance parts? I would save at least $1000 if not more by going with the non CF Performance parts.

Here are a few images of the car currently

CF would look slightly better, but on a mineral gray car there is barely going to be any contrast from it and it wont pop as much as a lighter color IMO.

Those VMR wheels are super heavy btw. I'd go something lighter like 437M.

Best mod you can do though is get out of NYC

I would love to move somewhere warmer!

Im most likely going to wrap the car in a frozen Gray thats lighter then the Mineral Gray. So the Lip and diffuser should pop

Super heavy? Maybe by a pound or two, but nothing monumental... plus I dunno if OEM 437m's are on the table. I personally prefer the look of the V710

Since you are wrapping, CF is definitely the way to go. It looks much better than just plain black imho. I have an Alpine white and Im doing CF accents just like you. Under sunlight it looks absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the insight. I have already purchased the CF Grills and CF Mirror Covers. I think Im going to order the CF & Alcantara Interior Trim next.

Definitely Love the V710!! Does anyone know where I can get them for a great price?

[mdai245]

Have you considered the 810 or 710FF?

Im looking for some light good looking wheels myself and found that VMR launched a new line of flow forged wheels which are lighter and stronger than the old variants like the 710.

personally ive always been a huge fan of cf but as of late im against it , for example I have a vorsteiner lip that cost 1000 and after over a year the lip is not in perfect condition from all the rock chips salt etc.. all other parts the sun is deteriorating them as I have a parking space that's completely out in the open. once the weather gets good ill be either wrapping or painting my parts gloss black maybe except my mirror caps. I just find it a waste of money sometimes especially in nyc conditions tbh

Congrats on the car great color combo- save the money on the big brakes and get coilovers for a nice drop if your leasing then do sport springs, CF is nice but with the salt, rock chips etc..ect.. all your CF will get destory. I only have CF are my mirrors and those are getting damage

Also just get your calipers painted, but if you do - get it done correct if you want I can send you to my guy in LI just DM me

Here is mine she will get KW V1 coilover in the spring
the lip is a Light Weight Lip from Germay

This is definitely making me consider painting my calipers. My only dilemma is upgrading to 2pot rears first.....
