Nice car mate and the best "line" as well.

You need to get the M F20 steering wheel just to set it off nicely.

Are you thinking of window tinting?

BTW mate, if you would like to get rid of your standard mats I would be happy to take them off your hands.

I got cream ones in mine and they shit me to tears.

Thanks. The Modern line is definitely unique, not many out there. Added tinting. I wanted to get the F30 M Performance Steering Wheel. Might look out of place since the original is a oyster colour.

Hey mate, have you looked into a front lip?

I am contemplating putting one on and can't find one that will fit a modern line, or more to the point, none of the vendors I have spoken with will confirm it fits.

Thanks

I Haven't looked into getting a front lip yet because I'm planning to do a M-Sport Conversion soon.

WOW! loving that interior to bits. If i had the time and patience, id definitely go modern for the oyster seats! You've definitely got to go m sport! The interior contrast coupled with a fierce exterior will set your car miles apart from others.

Agree with Chandy 100%! Looks so much better than I would have imagined, love the cf trim with oyster, very unique. Good work mate.

Thanks everyone, didn't expect it myself. The CF trim & Oyster leather creates a two tone effect. Initially, I thought it was designed for dark/black interiors in mind. The light Oyster Leather gives a bright atmosphere day/night but is difficult to maintain.

Definitely going to retrofit the M Sport.

Wow the CF parts look great. I have just bought a 328i sport line in AW with Adaptive M suspension, xenons, roof and a few other goodies. The car will be delivered in about two weeks so getting excited. I love what you have done with the CF trim. Where did you buy it from?

Gorgeous looking ride. I love your upgrades.
I think it looks very sleek the way it is now, but the MSport kit will definitely finish off that aggressive stance.

Knightsabers,

Your car looks great, particularly the CF with the Oyster interior, and the great looking wheels and rear diffuser.
Your car now looks like an M-Sport which makes me curious why you didn't buy an M-Sport in the first place.

If he is anything like me he wanted the Oyster interior but you can't get it in the M Sport.

That's what I wanted anyway so I had to get the Modern Line.

Initially I didn't want to spend too much for the M Sport kit. Decided on the modern line for the Oyster interior. Since joining the forum, I've been tempted to move to M Sport.

All seems very logical now. It's now a very rare machine. Well done!

Try this wheel:

http://www.getbmwparts.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462

OEM M Performance wheel, with the matching carbon trim. Flat bottom, and alcantara trim. Your airbag will fit too. USD680 is a bargain.

OEM part Number is: 32302230190.

Unfortunately, getbmwparts don't ship directly to Australia. Considering conversion rates, proxy fees & shipping it will most likely exceed $680 USD. That's OK, decided to get it locally next month. Only issue is painting the airbag cover since mine is a beige steering wheel. Thanks for the recommendation.

I had mine done by a local upholstery repair guy mate.

I also had to get the plastic piece the switch blocks go in painted as well as it didn't come with the new wheel.

All up cost about $100 or thereabouts from memory.

Just remember if you start the car without the airbag on you'll get an error.

I see. I asked Stu@BMRautowerkes, He mentioned the paint might peel off the airbag cover since its vinyl. Was it a specific type of paint ?
