BMW E82 Build …. Modified Bumper to Bumper

Put a decent amount of work into her (a fair amount of money as well), so I figured I’d show her to a few enthusiasts that might or might not appreciate what’s been done (needless to say I get mixed reactions).

Love everything about it except the unpainted fenders, wide qtr panels and trunk. It looks unfinished without being painted. But other than that it looks amazing.

It’s all gloss carbon fiber. Since the car was black, I just figured I’d leave it be.

Yea i know, i know. I just hate the look of bare carbon fenders and trunks or body panels. The only exterior parts i think looks good in carbon are things such as splitters, wings, sideskirts or fins. Sometimes the hood looks good in carbon but everything else should be painted to match the car imho. Don't get me wrong i love the look of your car just not a fan of the non painted carbon fenders and trunk. It's not my car though of course. But looks good other than that.

Love the look. Thats definitely the color scheme I was wanting to mimic. I think I saw an all black Adventador with highlighter green calipers and small accents and my jaw dropped.

Great build, I'm digging most of it. My least favorite part is the front splitter, I don't know what to name it but I personally can't stand the ones with the struts. I get why you did it (because racecar ) but I'm just not vibing with it on a street legal BMW, ruins the aesthetic flow of the front.

I'm all appreciation and curiosity, heck of a build...

what size tire are you running in the rear? those things look beastly.

Also, how do you find the seat height of the buckets? any fitment challenges?

Looks absolutely wild.
Love the design elements such as colour accents against utilitarian (and very nice so) elements such as CF.
How long did you spend planning and building this?
