Well I've been looking around online since I got my 323ci and decided since it needs a new hood and trunk lid I'm going to make it look like an m3. I priced out carbon fiber m3 hood, trunk lid and thought about doing the carbon fiber roof but don't want to loose the sunroof so I think I'll skip the roof. I'm also thinking about flat black like this one. What do you all think?

Get the CSL trunk lid.

always loved flat black cars. if you are going to do it, you have to make sure to find staggered rims like the one pictured otherwise the car wont look right.

I agree, was thinking black staggered wheels with a polished lip.

Concave wheels > lip

just about to the say the same thing. or the new "black chrome". those look sick too

I am. This is the one I'm going to get.

Just found these wheels, really like them. I want the center to be black though not grey.

there is a company on the boston craigslist that does strictly bmw/mercedes staggered rims

cars gonna look sick buddy!

Personally not a fan of flat black or flat any color but it's not my car and i wount be driving it so if you like it and it's your style then fuckin go for it man good luck with it homie!

That first one looks so nice except for the yellow

the yellow compliments the yellow roll cage inside the car

rather than do the carbon roof, paint it black or do a black vinyl overlay. Will look nice.

THAT THING IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the CSL trunk I wish they made that for the E39 model.

I love the concave wheels on Bimmers...

The concave wheels are nice too. Starting to get excited about working on the car, haven't started yet. I think I'm going to start it in January and hopefully have it and the truck completed by April.

i wouldnt make it look like a m3 unless you plan on having the power

here we go again. junior, STFU

o wait i shoulda done it just so everyone knows its only my oppinion ready ill fix it "IMO dont make it look like an m3 unless you have the power" happy? fucking fags ...

actually..


I agree

junior, it's all about how you say it.

the way you said it originally implied that he was doing nothing but cosmetic upgrades and you were looking down upon that.

if he mirror copied an m3, sure i'd like to see the power behind it. But since he's going for a custom look with certain m3 touches (csl lid, black or carbon roof, etc.), it's no different than customizing any bmw.

You have to remember you can't interpret intent through text.

I think you interpreted it wrong. He didn't say anything out of line, unlike the C4 thread where it was harsh.

well, given the track record yes I may have. But i'm sure I'm not the only person who would have read it the way i did.

Track record?

This car isn't going to get many power upgrades. Definitely not enough to take it to m3 power levels, I don't plan on passing this car off as an m3 or turn it into an exact clone. I'm just taking some things from the m3, this car will be a great daily driver that looks better than a stock 10 year old bmw.

flat black is bad ass i wanted to repaint my harley truck flat black with matching rims but sold it but flat back is bad asssssss

im not a huge fan of flat black...maybe certain accents (if its possible) with a deep blue color on the rest of the car

how do you know?

anybody else confused? junior wtf are you talking about lol

Derrick is color blind.. He was asking how he could tell the difference, you know making a joke.

oh yeahhhhhhhh hahaha

I was a little confused too!

Neil I should just hire you as my inerperter hahaha

Ok the bmw became a victim of my vehicle a.d.d. Sold it Saturday, made a nice profit and bought a new toy and bought christmas gifts without any credit cards this year.

nice work nelson....err....i mean tony haha

so what's the new toy?

was looking foward to seeing the finished product here but glad your happy with your new toy and the fact that you did christmas with out a CC is awesome too!

I really wanted to finish it too but having christmas done without any cc is great and I was able to buy a winter beater. I bought a 1995 2 door tahoe. I missed my full size blazer and now I can keep the miles off of the avalanche and finish that this winter. I leave in a few weeks for Pa. and from what I've been hearing the Poconos gets slammed with snow so the 4 wheel drive will be nice.

There ya go man i love the 2 door hoes! they look awsome and perform great in the snow fuel efficiency not so well but still an awesome ride! i do however demand pics asap!
