BMW should have had all their IS's come with the side skirts.
AND they should have givin' I's a smaller side skirt. Just somthing to cover the uglyness.
Just seems like they slacked off a little bit in that department.

i'm a fan of BMP skirts.
i like how wide they are and how they go up to the body seam that runs from wheel-well to wheel-well.
clean. tasteful.
M-Tech II side treatment [w/bumper combo] is clean. Very clean.. issues gravitate toward pros/cons of monochrome vs. tasteful contrast from black 'beltline'.
I've never understood the popularity of IS and Reiger front lips over getting skirts. An e30 with a color-matched front sport lip and black rockers/black rear valence looks awkward. (snow plow-ish?) (the 'continuity' just isn't there)
As much as I do love the look of a good [color-matched] front sport lip – they also look like 'damage waiting to happen'.
fwiw – I’m rockin’ Racing Dynamics skirts
with color-matched i-lip up front and color-matched valence in back
I was seeking 'best-bang-for-$' in terms of lower body-line treatments.
- lower chance of damage (better 'driver' car) = color front i lip
- better continuity = color-matched skirts + color rear valence
- 'lowering' body visually = eliminating black from rockers and rear valence
In terms of taking care of the 'un-finished' look of an e30 w/out skirts - I feel that the IS skirts are:
a ) good because they are [apparently] available (better than nothing)
&
b ) a disappointment because they are so 'understated'. If you're going to get some skirts to help 'finish' the car off - one might as well paint the fuckin rockers..
Those RD skirts are pretty bad imo, "iS" skirts are one of the cleanest
ones around, Eurotyle on Maxbimmer makes a mtech2 rep side skirt that is very clean as well.
Ps'd pic of "iS" skirts on my old car.
