side "M" vents

dencoop · 05-17-2006, 08:56 AM

I like it

and it does not have an ///M in the grill so...no poser.....I wonder how much it would cost to do that MOD?

climkt · 05-17-2006, 08:58 AM

hi zurestbmw, that kit is the lumma kit . seen it before . Ended up choosing my kerscher front bumper . the rieger kit is also very aggressive.

bimmer4me · 05-17-2006, 09:37 AM

I like the side vents! I don't think it's a 'poser' thing. I fail to see the distinction between adding side vents and any other styling mods.

difush · 05-17-2006, 10:13 AM

nothing against it ... if you have body kit, tires and rims to go with it.

05-17-2006, 10:22 AM

I think the luma kit looks awesome.

KC Bimmer · 05-17-2006, 10:39 AM

The kit as a whole looks good; however, doing just the vents I don't think would do the car justice.

JamieA · 05-17-2006, 11:01 AM

I wouldn't do it... but then again I am a purist and don't believe in anything that didn't come from the designer's pen (or is that mouse these days

)

It does look good but i would not do it.

i think if you just put the side vents you should be fine without the M badge

MacAttack · 12-31-2006, 02:40 AM

Nahhhh. Keep it real.

mikpap · 12-31-2006, 07:42 AM

I wouldn't do it because it is not an M and because I would have to spend a lot more money trying to make it look like an M.

smokin · 12-31-2006, 09:00 AM

i think it looks great and without the M badge its not trying to make it look like a M at all!

DrGP · 12-31-2006, 09:19 AM

But what really matters is do you like them. Its your car, and if you want to put louvers on, go for it! As long as it is done in a manner that is consistant with the quality of the car, it should be fine. 2 louvers don't make you a poser in my book.

Chesmu · 12-31-2006, 03:23 PM

I've thought about this in the past, as well. Go for it if you have the money to spend and really liek the look. I do agree with no ///M badge. I severely dislike ///M badging behavior.

ArmyBimmerDude · 01-01-2007, 11:22 AM

I absolutely love it. With a kit it would look really nice. Its about making your car look the way you want it to look and if you want vents WITHOUT THE M BADGE then go for it!

The "purists" will get over it.

By the way, where would you get them anyways?

ksfrogman · 01-01-2007, 11:43 AM

I'm thinking the Lumma vents might look better without the horizontal chrome strips. I wish someone made vents that were less M-like, more unique and subdued. The Z3 vents look good on the Z3 (a non-M car in its original form).

ksfrogman · 01-01-2007, 11:55 AM

One last thought for the not-wannabe-poser crowd, the M3 is not the only vehicle with fender vents.
