Worst. Post. Ever. Dude, maybe not everyone wants to have a boring e90 like everyone else on the road, ever think about that? Modding can go either way, make the car look real nice...or really bad. But that's up to the owner of the car, what do you care? Chill out. |

Both look equally nice, but there are certain colors to avoid with blacklines, mostly the lighter colored cars like my white. OEM rear lamps look good on my car.

I could care less if all bmw's have blacklines. I ordered them because I just don't like that super visible while line on the back of the car. When I am walking behind my car it feels like I need to take that white line off because it looks to be part of the cars packaging when it arrived. It sticks out and doesn't make any sense at all on a black car. On a white car, I wouldn't change them out at all. The super bright white line would blend more. Just look at that white line and ask yourself if it doesn't look like packaging?
I wanted to add that I took my 15 year old neighbor down to see the car and I asked him about the tail lights. He reached over and felt the white lines without me even saying anything, and said he thought they were packaging, not the tail light. I kid you not. No pun on the "kid" part.

wtf are you talking about... blacklines is oem u moron. not aftermarket "pimpmobile". its a different option. what ur saying is that if i got m5 wheels or csl wheels put on an e90 then thats against their design too? and thsoe wheels arent even meant for e90 but theyre still oem. the blacklines was made for the e90 BY BMW.

In this man's opinion, they appear much more contemporary and sophisticated. So much so, that I'm surprised that the blacklines don't come stock on the cars.
But like others have tried to articulate, to each his own. We all don't like the same art on our walls. Certainly BMW realizes this, which is why they have produced these as an option for those that wish to make the change. Peace Out! |

You are right I did overlook this. I stand corrected. In fact the two photos above show that both setups look good. |

I love my blacklines, and that is all that matters isn't it?

Actually according to this poll over 60% of e90posters seem to prefer Blacklines while over 17% flat out dislike them...

The 17% didn't like the blackline because they felt it looked washed out which both blackline and whiteline are. |

I installed the blackline without telling my gf and roommates. When they saw my car from the back, they said it looked better somehow and asked me if I did something to my car. That was outsider's opinion. |

If the Hoffmeister Kink blended into my blacklines my taillights would be very near the small rear window of the rear doors and that would definitely NOT look good, blacklines or not.
