Experimental black eyebrows
I've seen talk about stick-on carbon fiber eyebrows for the E89, and thought I would experiment with another alternative; dark film. I made an accurate template to the shape of the white area above the headlight beams and cut out two pieces of dark tint film and applied them myself to see what it looked like: not too bad in my opinion. Comments?

The look is clean with the very thin film, as there is no thick stick covers as I seen on others. It give the look of the new Challenger head lights. I like the look from the fender line to the front bumper grill , but For me, I not sold on the head light cut off.
I do like your Full Black Front end. Looks clean.

I REALLY like the body-colored-match eyebrow paint. I've done the same thing to mine. I originally bought eyelids and was planning on painting them black (my body color), but after I noticed the rise of the eyebrow off the headlight, it was an easy decision for me to decide to just paint the actual exterior of the headlight.
Here's a few pics of how mine turned out. I think both of our cars look stunning! |

Black Eyebrows
My experimental black eyebrows are now no longer experimental; I've decided to keep them that way! Love the sleek look, and if I ever get tired of it, I can peel the film off anyway.
Love your full black treatment Pete. Very similar to my 35i spec, but I've added BMW cf front splitters. I'm about to place an order for genuine BMW Performance 19" 313 wheels painted jet black to complete my total black look. Did you paint the roll bar covers black like I did? |

And no, I did not paint the roll bar covers. I like the color as it closely matches my brushed aluminum trim around my dashboard/controls. |

Custom black 313 style wheels
Well it has taken a year, but I finally have my brand new BMW Performance wheels with custom black paint on the car at last. Due to multiple quality issues with two different "expert" painters, they had to be re-painted four times before they were acceptable. Included soda-blasting back to bare metal twice! However, they are now perfect and look just like I imagined on the car.
Fitted new tyres at the same time to replace the Bridgestone RFTs: now running Michelin PSS. |
