Few Modification - E82 Monaco Blue

[MWalker]

So I got this car about a year ago and have slowly began making it my own over the past few months. (Sorry about the poor image quality). Can only afford a few modification at a time so its a slow process but will eventually have a final thing.

Modifications so far:

M Performance Carbon Lip Spoiler
M Performance Black Front Grill
Carbon Dipped Wheels
Metallic Blue Callipers
De-badged
Windows Tinted















Future Modifications:
LCI Blacklines
Interior Work
Tinted Side Indicators
and more... hopefully

Looks better than I'd have expected...

OP!

OP!

Yeah, it looks good. I am thinking about doing the same, but do you know how much it costs to do for all 4 wheels?

Any thoughts, OP?

[MWalker]

It cost me to have all 4 wheels done £300 and took 2days, had no idea how it would turn out but just went for it, thought it would tie together nicely with the carbon spoiler, and hopefully a few other bits when I get round to it.

Thanks for the insightful post! How is durability in the rain or over the long term?

I imagine stone chips will be the problem, not rain.

From personal experience, painted rims are a waste of money. A more durable coating like powder coat is what is suggest.
Obviously you won't get these fancy patterns like the op though

[MWalker]

All honesty I haven't got a clue how there gonna hold up, I've had them done just over a week now, Rain & washing etc I believe they will be just fine, however stone chips or if I decide to play dodgems with a curb then I fear they may ruin easily, however for the time being and fairly cheap I thought it would be different from other wheels so gave it a shot, and as long as they don't ruin then I think they look pretty awesome

I don't think your car is Monaco, too light and I thought they stopped the color before the LCI change

Wheels came out surprisingly well

[MWalker]

It's Montego I believe , and for the wheels had them done must be 6 months + & still look brand new.

[MWalker]

So I've decided to trade in my 118d before getting all the work I had intended on doing finished, and gone straight to the other end of the performance range for the M235i - picking it up tonight & I can not wait, feel like a kid a Christmas

LOVE the wheels!
