I can see where this is going...

Looking sharp!

1'M Blue · 05-23-2015, 05:38 AM

That wing looks totally out of place IMO ..

Marc08EX · 05-23-2015, 08:03 AM

Love your ride man! Looks great! I love the VO paint.

Skeane · 05-23-2015, 09:41 AM

Hi what calipers are they ?

a7med606 · 05-23-2015, 12:21 PM

sorry to say that but it looks ugly and ricey , just an opinion other members may like it

Rikx1M · 05-23-2015, 12:55 PM

AP Racing...and I didn't want it looking ricer which is why I painted the trunk lid and wing ends... That being said, I got tons of compliments today at Katie's Cars and Coffee... So guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Nkc · 05-23-2015, 02:22 PM

Not sure if it's the size, but I too have a problem adjusting to the rear spoiler. It seems out of place and a tad tacky. Sorry.

AP are the best in the biz- did you go with the Essex set?

No standard AP BBK that was made for M3, bought 3 years ago with 2000 miles on them.

1st mod was Xpel Ultimate clearbra on the front which increased my performance as I didn't mind all the little pings in the front end and I could drive faster, 2nd mod was a Bastuck axelback exhaust, 3rd mod AP BBK with SS lines and higher temp fluid, 4th was Schroth 4-point harness, 5th was a 2-day BMW drivers training at Hockenheim, 6th was fire extinguisher, 7th was intercooler, 8th was DPs, 9th was a Cobb tune. Slow and steady build over the past 3.5 years.

zayzay · 05-23-2015, 05:16 PM

get a BQtune for your cobb, i promise you, you will not be disappointed

MightyMouseTech · 05-23-2015, 09:38 PM

And it looks like the wing is installed backwards?!?!?

I was trying to figure that out. I don't think the wing looks bad but it does look backwards. Not sure if it is or isn't.

Rikx1M · 05-23-2015, 10:12 PM

Here are some images from Revosport website...looks the same to me.

Very nice- what tires are you running? They look a little wider than 265 in back.

MrRoboto · 05-24-2015, 09:58 AM

Wing looks absolutely ridiculous. Unless you are a serious track guy and require it for it's functionality, I would remove it with extreme prejudice.

III Caruso III · 05-24-2015, 12:39 PM

I love what you did with the rear of the trunk. As long as your happy that's what matters.

The wing on Einser M's former 1M was positioned likewise.

mrphil · 05-24-2015, 08:23 PM

Not a fan either, looks too short and backwards

Sorry

IEDEI · 05-24-2015, 10:19 PM

i think the rear wing looks fine! not sure why you guys think it looks backwards!

it reminds me of the MotoGP 1M....although i think leaving it black would be a bit better than adding orange to it, since the orange maybe draws too much attention to it....
