Thanks!

You should just sell your car and get a M4

Those parts are not belong to your car it doesnt go with original theme and the purpose of your car...

Im sure Koreans think its a bad ass thats even sadder

Did you have an accident that made you do all this work or was it just $$$$ burning a hole in your pocket? Sorry, all I did was look at pics.

Who did the work?
Agreed. I would only opt for the quad exhaust and lose that ///M badge as well for the clean look and for not trying to be a poser. The real question is: does it drive like a M car or make the owner feel like a M car? The feeling of driving a M car is priceless!

I like the conversion, can't wait to see the rear complete. It's nice to get an idea what this car would look like if BMW offered it.

Anyone that's hating on this car have severe insecurities in their lives. Lol

Thumbs up

I have an idea.. how about when everyone flaming OP for his M badge decides to pay for his next mod or make his next car payment they can tell him what to do.

It's his car and his build... He has some pretty big balls converting a perfectly good car. But he did it because he wanted to. I can guarantee that this dude has done more work to this car than half of the real M owners commenting on here.

Plain and simple it isnt your car it may not be your taste but keep your comments to yourself. It really makes you sound sad.

Just out of curiosity if he converted the rear end and then dropped an s55 in it would you guys still complain about the M badge? it still wouldnt REALLY be an m4 right?

car looks awesome OP

No ones saying the build isn't GREAT. The car looks amazing. The badging is the only problem. And it's not all negative comments, just more of constructive criticism. And if you're going to dump all that money and engine and all that why not just buy a real M? Seriously. Your defensive comments are baseless. At the end of day you can do what you want but why call it something it's not, not to mention that not a single car comes from BMW with just M. Every car has a identifying series number. And if he did put M4 that would be even worse because that is exactly what being a poser is.,You can modify the look of your car to whatever you want, people have been doing it since the beginning. But to badge it with M is to call it something it's not. It's Not an M car from factory with all M technology. And having an MSport kit doesn't make your car M. It's just a bodykit for cosmetics.

M235i is a modified car from BMW. You know it came from factory. Go compare a 235i to it and it's not exactly the same. What's the point of all the different car series and power specific to each series if everyone can just badge it to their liking. So when a dude driving a 528i MSport badges their car M that's ok? Mind you their vehicle is off by atleast $45k? Let's be real here people. I'm all for modifying your cars making them look great and to your liking. Just don't call it what it's not because it really isn't. At the best if you don't want to call it what it really is then just debadge the car completely so that when someone asks you what kind of car you have you can just give them a piece of your story and journey.

All in all Great build OP. Don't take all the remarks as shutting you down because it's not. Again like I mentioned prior it's all constructive criticism. I hope you continue to modify your beast! Cheers

Might be me but the gap where the hood meets the headlight is the only thing that makes me question this isn't stock, otherwise great job!

I personally would loose the ///M badge and drive it debadged or at least relocate it closer to where the stock badging is and make it an "M435i".
