Is it just the pics but to me the bonnet looks to be a slightly darker shade then the sides and front bumper? Does it just need a good polish?

Not noticed it, but you will get me looking now 😫

Awesome mate! looks perfect!!!

dont buy those gash performance rear lights... i had them as well.... pispoor quality and within 3 days full with moist! ( almost every set of those lights tend to have moist problems )

You need some wheels with big concave now , ala 437.....

Been on the hunt for some 437m 😉

Not had a problem with my OEM ones so far. good fit, not water inside. maybe you had a bad set?

So, some more changes...

Swapped out the ACS1 for some 437M. Just to add a bit more width to the rears.

Also, due to rubbing just installed Bilstein PSS10 kit purely to allow for some height and rebound adjustability. To help/ hope to over come some of the rubbing.

Currently set mid way at 5, and rubbed in the rear only once on return journey from garage on pretty big lump. Which is vast improvement.

Front is sitting a bit low, so will go back and adjust the height a little, as there is slight rubbing on adverse camber on turning, as its quite tight with a 235/40 up front.

So far really impressed with the kit.

Wow! Awesome colour mate. Very nice would love to get that look in the rear.

It has got 20mm spacers in the rear. They are very wide. Love to go more but will rub unfortunately with how the arch kit is made, which is a pain.

BTW what size/ profiles you running.

Getting slight rub in front 😩

Cheers, the nice thing of the F80 m3 rear panels is that they are rolled from the factory.. so you can very aggresive.. im running 20 mm spacers with 295 30 19s... and 255 35 19s front...

oh nice and wide tyres 👍

TBH in hindsight, I probably should investigated going OEM rear quarter panels and put more research into it.

However, I really struggled to find much content... and following the discussions with a few respective bodyshop lead me down the kit route, with the install itself has limited the options a little.

My fronts are quite tall, so i think thats causing the issue. Really don't want to size down the profile, but interesting you not getting any rubbing with 255/35 wide the width...

Freddie335 · 05-22-2021, 03:54 AM

Meant to post here.. After having an accident and ripping off my M sport bumper. Decided would go aftermarket and go the M3 look, which is much more aggressive. Compliments the rest of the mods.

Wanted to keep the fogs, so i had them smoked.

Some before and after shots. 😉

Cheers dude much appreciated.

Arches all good. Had some rubbing issues, but this was down to tyres, has been quite a journey. But i think its worth it.

Take it easy bro. 👍

Old thread revival! Love it Freddie! Do you still have it? How have the rear arches held up? I wish we were able to buy the F31 335D's here in the states! I have a Sparkling Graphite F10 535d M Sport and my Glacier Silver F31 328d M Sport. The power difference is incredible! Thanks for the great post! Cheers!
