Some suggestions for your next mods:

M performance pedals, Euro rear fog switch, functional M1/M2 buttons.
I have the euro fog, but I may be selling the car very soon for an F80 so I've paused on anything else that is f30 specific, I have the BAF K brace sitting in the closet just waiting too

Very nice! Hope it's a MY 18+ so you can have those amazing LCI2 headlights.

Euro bumpers don't have the cutouts for reflectors. I got mine on ebay.

My car was a base model so it wasn't overkill since I was in the market for an M Sport body kit anyways.

OP already had an M sport car but might've gotten into a minor fender bender or had a beat up bumper from parking/road rash and needed a new one anyway, so could've just taken the opportunity.

Or maybe he just has money to burn, nothing wrong with that either

Haha, original paint on the bumper wasn't doing so well with highway driving causing so many rock chips and was able to have insurance pay for a new bumper and carbon lip with zero deductible.

Can you post the brand of the clear tail lights? How did you get those red reflectors below the tail lights to be removed?

looks good, i saw a few F80 icon headlight guys have done this mod and figured it would look good with f30 LCI headlights and mineral gray. was the process the same as for F80 headlights? i'm assuming you bought the lemon yellow modules from ali and thermal paste/glued them onto your headlight modules?

I noticed you moved away from the VLAND GTS v2 style tail lights to the clear ones.

Any particular reason why? Issues with the VLAND or just more of an aesthetic preference change?

I don't like the look of them that much considering 3 series never came in a GTS, just was off to me

Bayoptiks, only place that makes a proper looking one, bumper/headlights have to be removed to get access to all 3 drl modules to replace the boards

i also got the bayoptics ones but havent installed them yet, and ive seen people say its 3 DRL modules on each light. But why did i only get 4 LED boards in total if theres 6 boards that needs to be replaced? Am i misunderstanding something?

From what I've seen there's 2 boards per module/side so 4 boards total. I think the yellow DRLs look good on darker colored cars.
