Your ride looks badass!!! I am in love with those rims. Of course mineral grey is just sexy.
Your mods are very tasteful with much aggression highlighted. Very cool. |

Keep in mind my car was 9.5 ET40 w/275's, -1 camber. If it were raised a bit with zero camber, the fitment should be perfect. Next setup will be the 9.5 ET35 non-staggered w/235 & 255's... we'll see how it goes haha. What tire sizes you going with? 9.5 ET38 looks like a pretty good fit with 265's from what I've seen.

The 245/275 setup on the F30 works out really nicely. It's also nice knowing you've got a lot of tire between the wheel and the road.
Have any pics with the spacers installed or are you waiting for coilovers? I think Bilsteins are available by now, could be wrong though. edit: Oh and I'm glad I saw that the sport trim can be added to a no-line car, I was just asking myself this question 30min ago!

Yea, the sport line trim can be added to our cars fairly easily... You wouldnt think BMW would actually make a different Bumper for each trim line, but they do... So some slight dremel mods are needed, but it looks good in the end..

Im getting the Bilstein PSS10s once they get to the US market.. I had them on my last car and I LOVE them... I was thinking about KWs, just because they are available right away, but they dont have the adjustment knob on the bottom of the shock where its easy to get to... And i dont like that.. Im pretty set on the Bilsteins.. I know and trust them..

It really wasnt that difficult... Just dremel down the area of the stock bumper that is in the way of the sport trim.. its just a matter of cutting a little at a time and fitting and re-cutting... not hard at all... took maybe an hour or two from start to finish..I didnt do a DIY write up.. but I need to removed the bumper again this weekend so Ill try and remember to take some pics and post them..

Is it possible to dremel the trim pieces instead of the bumper? Much appreciated! |

The sport trim pieces are a little tricky if you havent done much of this kind of thing before.. but Its very straight forward. You have to cut some of the bumper away.. unfortunately... there is no way around it. You also have to dremel off some of the tabs on the sport line pieces and do a little moding to those as well.. its basically just cutting and seeing if it fits, then cutting a little more.. until you get it to fit flush in there.. there are enough tabs that line up that you dont have to glue it in or anything like that.. although I am thinking about securing it with something else just for piece of mind... but mine have been on for months now and been through many car washes and have never come loose or anything... The biggest trick is making sure that you dont cut too much of the bumper away.. again, little bit at a time... I can take some pics for you if you want.. I am going to be taking the bumper off again this weekend to do a small mod so Ill try and remember to snap a few shots for you... PM me and remind me. Here are some updated photos: Front reflectors have been shaved And rear tails tinted.. Im going to take care of those rear reflectors soon as well...

Yea, there is no seam... the term 'shaved' means to get rid of them completely.. they were body shopped out... I think its a better/cleaner look than the color matched ones..

You went to a body shop and had it bondoed and color matched really? That must have cost a pretty penny.

The car in your signature is not your car.... that's confusing... but at least that what you aspire to have right..
What's your current offset ? did you put any spacers ? what are the values?

I have a guy that has done all my body work for years and he hooks me up.. he was fixing some stuff on my bumper as it was, so I just had him shave them for me while he was at it.. He does great work and he did the tails at the same time... He wants to shave the rear reflectors, but I dont know how that would look.. I think Im just going to have them painted the color of the car... dont know yet... Ive got other, more important mods at the moment.. haha
