Well, since u got m sport, u definitely want to stay classy, how about this

If they can do it to a M2, it’s good enough for a msport 3 series

With a red interior and calipers, you are somewhat limited for coordination. Leaving black aside, red or the non-color colors are the best bets...maybe a very liquid-looking silver or brilliant white?

I'd still find a wrap that perfectly matches the red interior.

If you're going to go to that effort you should get a wrap that changes colours depending on the light or angle it's viewed at. I've seen some that are pretty darn slick.

Good lord, if I ever see a crocodile vinyl wrapped 3er in person I'm pretty sure I'll have to sell my 340 and get a Hugo.

Behold! Velvet wrap!



If I was wrapping I would do something with a bit of colour. I don't get the love of nardo grey.. It's a shiny grey. Reminds me of unpainted models with a clear coat on. Why not San Marino Blue?

Nardo grey looks good on almost anything so that would be my first pick. This could be you!: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifi...a-kind/9047409
