The start of a new look

[bmwm3n528]

I think I want frenchies for my car now.

Smoked Frenchies, if you go that route.

Smoked Frenchies, if you go that route.

I hate smoked film. But noted.

I hate smoked film. But noted.

That's my boy.

I'm referring to the way Mike did his, Smoking the housings on genuine Frenchies.

Such a nice car can't wait to see it when it is done!

Nope, erik, it is going to be a color that is on brand new 6ers. I toyed with henna for a long time, but the wife says hell no. plus I dont care much for red tones.

I am probably going to sell the smoked french lights, Dont think the yellow is going to match the new color too well.

The paint was in awesome condition, but almost every panel has a small thing on it. I am mostly painting it because the previous owner had it painted this color and I still hear after 5 years and about 7 grand in parts- that its stephans car(the prev. owner).

i trust your judgement... should come out great

[DarkWing6]

The current color is hot, but I bet the new one will be hot too.

If you decide to sell the yellows let me know.

I really liked the green that it was right now. I can only imagine it will look better with your tastes. :D

Mineral Silver from the new 6 you say?

Update nr. 1

you my friend, have won the prize. The plans as of right now are for the mineral silber, saw a 650i vert at work, and fell in love with the color. Its a nice subtle silver, with a bit of flare- I think.

so here are the updates from last night.


so what you know about rockin the 16" steelies, with some lip!!!! a present from a 130i- owner hit a curb with his snow tires- heck it hasnt even started snowing yet.


pulled the windows out, didnt even break any! getting stripped.


Evo light weight parts aint got nuttin on me. the previous owner decided to make his own lightweight parts/ cutting away 80% of the bumper brackets.


parts are starting to really pile up, I think I am going to have to try to sort out some kind of sytem to this madness.

Is that strut brace an actual ACS item ? I have one and always thought it was

[Hick]

i dont see the reason for making a bronzit m3. i hope you are just simply respraying the car the same color. the blue [whatever it is] is very appealing to me.

i guess ill have to wait and see what it looks like, but goodluck.

[Jand3rson]

I'd kind of like to see a bronzit M3, actually...

Any other plans besides the color change? Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve, probably one of my all time favorite M3's.

Same here.

[GaryE30]

LUXORBEIGE!!! Do it!

[SchnellerVert]

Who does your paint work? Every time we turn around you have had something getting or was just painted.

Do you send it over to Poland or CZ?
