Yup, not BBS.

And I'm trying to change the grill (trying is the key word : http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthre...9#post11314249).

Blacking out the reflectors in the front, I also got the black out for the rear but since it's red, it doesn't bother me as much as the orange.

As for the drop, waiting for Eibach to come with springs for the new 28i with N20 engine. Current springs for the 35i and old 30i isn't recommended at the moment.

Can't see the back, but guess matching exhaust tips would really set it off.

Yah, still looking for black tips or might get it painted/powdercoated. I made a thread about it but barely got any response.

Yes I did. I uses some black spray paints I had lying around when I painted my old cars grill black as well. I applied primer, black paint and clear coat although if you plan on doing the same thing, I suggest plasti-dip since it is easy to remove if you make a mistake or you want to go back to the stock silvers.

Here's a better look at it.

That looks really good!

did you use plasti-dip for the grill too? or did you replace them.

the silver part on the bumper, did you have to take them off to paint them?

I'm thinking of doing the same to it.

The grill is replaced, I bought the BMW Performance Grills.

The silver rods, I had to take off to paint since I didn't want to deal with masking off the car. It's easy, it just pulls right off. It is scary the first time because it is held in place but with a little more pressure and you pull it out then you see that it just has tabs (that is strong enough not to break).
