If you want to move further towards the dark side, consider the gunmetal equivalent of our 1M wheels (359M M3 ZCP Wheels - Gunmetal Steel Pearlescent powder coating). A tad darker but not black. See for example (on an E90 3er):

The cheapest alternative: don't wash the alloys - brake dust does the color job free of charge.

Nah that would be a crime

Gunmetal looks good as well... options options options ..

It was the Sepang Bronze model that was painted in Garching.
When all factors are considered it was almost the cost of another 1M Coupe.
So it was not something open to everyone it would not be cost effective to BMW M to do that several times over.

This is the look I rock on all my wheels, when I wash them....... it looks weird to me, like that first day after a new haircut in grade school weird.

CFENSTY · 12-07-2011, 09:34 AM

Thanks. That first one may help a little but the car is pre-LCI and the kit is different than the one Evan sold me. My kit came with no harness so I am going to pull the radio/cd chgr/AC units to see if there is an unused harness and plug in there somewhere. The first post above should at least get me that far!

Tony135 · 12-07-2011, 01:29 PM

Looks great!

NPVPositive · 12-07-2011, 10:59 PM

Nice and clean installation. I was wondering if you have compared the 1m against the 135i with ppk.

Thanks,

monkawekrue · 12-08-2011, 12:19 PM

thats winning right there.

1'M Blue · 12-09-2011, 12:14 AM

Thanks for the comments guys.

3V0M · 12-16-2011, 04:54 AM

Your car looks awesome.

I'm busy getting my E81 130i sprayed MC blue. The car was in an accident months ago. Gonna do the original 18" rims gunmetal. Go read my thread on our local forum: http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=24477. Look at page 9 for the front fenders sprayed. The rims currently on the car are temporary.

Ascari · 12-16-2011, 05:19 AM

OP, the tint on the lights is perfect; what % did you use?

And congrats on the wrap; as others have said - superb.
