Stripes on 1M
Thinking about doing something like this to my 135i. I have a black. Is it possible I could do something like this without painting over it? Any ideas on how it would look on a black 135?
Sorry for the bad quality pictures. Was driving when I took it. |

If you're planning on doing it, just use vinyl.

Nothing ricey about it until you add a M badge IMO. Definitely go for vinyl.

I still don't understand why people get so mad about the ///M badges. They're all over the interior and wheels, I wouldn't do it but still doesn't make sense to me why people get so upset about them.
On topic: The stripes aren't my cup of tea, but if you are set on doing them definitely do vinyl. Most graphic/sign shops maybe even tint shops can get something like that done for you wherever you want to put it on the car for cheap since it'd be relatively small. |

I agree. My M Sport equipped car came from the factory with no less than seven M badges on it, one on the steering wheel, one on each door sill and one on each wheel. If it is alright for BMW to put the M badges on the car I have no problem with others adding more M badges to the car. In the end people who really know M cars no the difference. Plus BMW uses the M badges as a marketing tool. That's why they put them on cars in the first place.
