Talking My 2014 Mineral Grey 320i

This is my Mineral Grey 320i...still a work in progress, but pretty proud of what's done so far so I wanted to share some pictures. Sorry about the picture qualities, took most of these in my garage or the outside parking lot @ work, I plan on taking better pictures once everything is done.

Mike @ Monstrrstripes did the roof wrap, interior trim wrap, and Lamin-X tint for me. He did a superb job and I couldn't be happier!

Alex @ Rhino Detailing did the Tint job.

HID's were done by HIDMasters

Finished Mods
- LED Parking Lights
- LED DRL
- HID Headlights
- Suntek Tint
- Rear Trunk CF Spoiler
- 3M Satin Black Wrapped Roof
- CF Wrapped Interior Trim
- M-Performance Black Kidneys
- Smoked Front Bumper Reflector
- Tinted Tail Lights (Lamin-X: Gunsmoke)
- CF Eyelids

Future Mods
- Plasti-Dip Badge and Wheels Matte Black
- CF Mirror Covers
- CF Roof Spoiler
- Then eventually I wanna get 18" wheels down the road.

Looks great!
I'd recommend getting Invisabulbs for the front turn signals to get rid of the egg yolk look with the Amber colored bulbs
Also, may want to try CF window pillar trim and shark fin cover to add more CF bits on the exterior with the other CF pieces you plan on adding

who wrapped your interior for you?

I saw this but didn't know it it was worth it, like whether it would fit and stay or what not..

XenaBimmer: do you know if the invisabulbs will error? Yea I saw those window trims, I don't want to go overboard with CF trims but I was gonna add the window trims and/or antenna cover at the end once I see how the roof spoiler and the mirrors covers look on the car.

Glassy: Mike from Monstrrstripes did the interior. I saw the bimmian overlays but were worried that they'd peel overtime. Mike from Monstrrstripes did a really good job on the interior trims. He took apart each individual trim piece and wrapped the CF vinyl around the back to ensure that they stay in place long term. Also, I'm not sure what material he used but it really really nice, feels great to the touch, and not to mention it doesn't scratch easy at all, very durable, I honestly highly recommend it.

The chrome signal bulbs will not throw a code. Some of us have used the BMW branded bulbs, there like $20. I used another brand with the same results.

I believe it's a Ballast Plug and Play HID Kit. HIDMasters did the installs and the parts came with lifetime warranty (can't complain about that).

Xenon Retrofit seemed way too expensive but I still wanted at least the HIDs because I was pretty disappointed with the stock halogen light intensity. Overall pretty happy with the upgrade, might eventually do the high beams down the road as well.

Adding HID's to halogen housings is just plain arrogant and total disrespect to other drivers It does blind oncoming traffic and is dangerous....not to mention illegal.

I have a 10k lumen strobe for these asshats!! You can see them coming.
