I always go front driver's side + rear passenger side, a little less than halfway down. You get this pleasant clockwise circular breeze with less cabin noise than other window configurations.

Also I don't like the red or blue M button on the steering wheel. Looks so lopsided. When it's on both sides it doesn't look too bad.

I think forester f14s have absolutely no place on an M car. Even more so in the "super deep concave" fitment. in order for them to look decent the car has to be lowered past the point of function, and specs have to be needlessly aggressive. Plus heavy and cast. All around useless, and played out on this chassis

E90>E92. The body lines and side profile of the E92 just doesn't do it for me.

If I wanted a faster, better looking car, I would have bought one. OEM+ works for me. I think the E90 with a little shove in certain directions looks amazing for what it is.

This is one of the few things posted here that I actually 100% disagree with. Bravo, sir!

Too many (= more than stock) hood vents looks ridiculous. Yeah it's functional I'm sure I just don't wanna look at it

But what about when "the driving experience is sublime"?

LakeSurfer · 06-13-2020, 08:35 AM

"Stanced" BMWs or any car for that matter are the stupidest things I've ever seen.

Burple tunes make you look like a 16 dying for attention and they sound ridiculous.

Cover your inner cooler up because your car looks unfinished.

Tinted windows look rice.

Yes your 335 is faster than my M3 and I really don't care.

BMW guys at cars and coffee always seem to be elitists. That's why I don't park next to you.

I love my car more than most things but sometimes I wish it wasn't a BMW because of the image.

Huge wings don't belong on our cars, again rice.

When people say "that's not a "real" M car" it makes me cringe. If M designed or built it than guess what? It's a freaking M car.

"M" doesn't mean much anymore.

I feel better now.

I agree with all your points except 2:

1: I tint windows because having your side windows tinted can sometimes mean the difference between your leather disintegrating within a couple years and it being nice and soft for the life of the vehicle. In states with brutal sun and UV it more than just for looks or privacy.

2: If you drive your car on the streets and have a big wing you're truly an idiot. But if you track your ME more than you do anything else with it, big wings are a huge advantage.

after having another new mole removed from the left side of my face, i tint all my cars' windows now..

I hear ya on both of your points. I live in Tampa too and haven't tinted my windows yet. I'm contemplating it because the only time they're up is when it's parked and when it's parked it's normally full sun so the inside is about 1200 degrees Fahrenheit.

I think the wings look sweet on track cars and I understand the value of them in the track for sure.

I love it lol
I disagree with tints though

I'll add this:
Why do you have a big ol park bench wing AND the stock lip spoiler on still?? Total aero

MShift · 06-13-2020, 10:23 PM

I think the gts wing is very awkward and looks out of place on the e9x.
