My space grey 35i (update on last page)

The legendary space grey... :wub:

I like the look of the BMW Performance wheels - subtly understated, light and sporty. A great improvement.
 
dziękuję corsaire77.

Today I go to the car wrapper to wrap the lower bar of the M bumper in black matte.
 
I really like the M Sport bumper, no need to apologise. I think on anything other than black, it can look better. But compare black M sport with black non M Sport and there's such little difference (certainly if you darken the lower intakes) because you simply can't see the bodywork as much in black. If I had a lighter coloured car, I may consider changing it, but I don't so I'm not. Plus I still like the fact that my car doesn't look like every other one I see driving around.

Your car looks really nice, I especially like the wheels, old school CSL look. I always held space grey as my favourite colour for the e89. Shows the lines, looks more sophisticated, and most importantly doesn't show the muck as much! (Still can't beat black when clean tho IMHO) :)
 
Black is beautiful (when it is clean and shiny) but it really absorbs any contours and is very high-maintenance. We have very hard water here, so I've vowed that I will never buy a black car again.

Thank you. Which old school CSL look do you mean? The BBS wheels?

Unfortunately the wrapping was not possible today because the paint must cure approx. three weeks before wrapping is possible. Otherwise there is the danger that the foil will not adhere, the paint will come loose by removing the foil (anytime) or that the paint could evaporate and that the foil gets pickaxe.

Instead of that I gave my roll bars to the paint shop to paint it in space grey, today.

So continuous small improvements...
 
Thank you very much.

I made use of the sun last week to take some more pictures in the summer setup:

Next steps:

- JB4 -> already ready at the customs for pickup
- wrapping of frontbumper - Monday
- new exhaust tail pipes - already ordered
 
Looks splendid! The low perspective really shows the perfect stance of those wheels. Although it must have been difficult to drive down those concrete stairs! :poke:
 
Thanks!

@corsaire: lol - fortunately there was a ramp on the side... :wink:

In the meantime I made some more changes.

More power + wrapping of the lower M-bumper-bar in black matte:

Thank you very much. What a pity that we were not able to organize a small meeting during your Easter Nürburgring trip... :wink:

Thank you.

Yes. And I think the wheels are unique, because the rims are a mixture which is not available as a set. :D

Thank you!
It took a long time to find perfect OEM-exhaust tips with almost the same angle than the original ones have - especially because the inner pipes were also needed.
I have a second pair left, if someone is interested.


Below some new pictures from the Cote d'Azur:

I considered a complete new design of the side parts, at first.
Finally I decided to build my own p&p-solution instead of that.

Unfortuntaley I have to re-paint them with plasti-dip, because I was too impatient... :mad0259:
So no detail-pictures for today.

I hope you like my turn signals! ;)
 
I've sold the 296 v-spoke winter rims and made my Z ready for the next winter with my new M3 CSL winter-wheels:
