Are those Dan's Decals on the reflectors? I just ordered a set 5 minutes ago.

they certainly are! of the ones i've seen on all cars so far, IB seems match the best, but it's not perfect...

Caddyshk · 08-07-2010, 05:49 PM

Thanks - Frankly I wasn't keen on pulling them and painting them in case I want to go back to stock one day - Pics look great BTW

careful with the decals! i'd recommend being as meticulous as u can about not stretching them with ur bare fingers, or they end up with excess material that u'll have to trim with a pair of scissors and 'fold' over making it look much less appealing.

i'd go with cutting the backing off according to the circular shapes, then using small pieces of scotch tape on the bottom half of the decals, tape them to the car first, then slowly peel off the backing making absolutely sure to stick the decals from the BOTTOM upwards (cos of the raised lettering along the top sides of all four reflectors).

cheap mod tt's easily reversible to stock.

oh yes, sweet shots there 007!

Thanks for the heads up

Interlagos in my opinion is the sexiest color directly from the factory but also the hardest to mod visually. Not a huge fan of black rims on IB, as opposed to Imola or Alpine

why would u want to visually mod a sensuous, sexy beast that is the m coupe?

apart from alternative rims and lower profile tires, and perhaps a very slight drop, i think an interlagos e86 M is perfect looks wise.

Eccentric · 08-13-2010, 12:11 AM

Exactly the reason i got the car

My point was only that there are many options available to personalize an M coupe, but IB coupes tend to look the best stock, or just with rims. No regrets here

I think my visual mods (aero kit skirts, CSL wheels) look even better on the IB cars - it's easier to make out the skirts on the lighter color, and something about the blue makes the silver of the wheels pop.

csl wheels look great on most bimmers! i like the stock 5-spokes, and would go with the old m6 style or the new sdrive35is style to keep the 5-spoke look + functionality if i ever felt particularly rich to get them oem.

here are a couple of pics at my recent trackday at harris hill road:

^That side shot looks amazing. Look at those curves! =) Sometimes I look at this thread and don't feel the need to take good pictures of my own car. Lots of clean clones out there.

Taken in a mild break in CA's onslaught of flood bringing storms.

Eccentric · 01-31-2011, 04:34 PM

thats a great photo

k2pilot · 04-22-2011, 06:31 PM

Some more of my favorite toys. And as an indication of my bmw love, my plane is painted imola red, mystic blue, and titanium silver.

Not long after getting it,

And i know this one isn't blue but i still like it.
