E93 Silvestone with Racemesh

ring007 · 12-06-2008, 11:32 AM

Check it out. I had the racemesh grill on my '06 imola E46 convert. I liked it soo much I called Michael at Racemesh again for my new E93. He hadn't had a chance to build one yet so mine became the prototype. I ordered the front intake, diffuser, and hood vents in stainless steel (you can also get the same pattern for the kidney grills but I decided I like the OEM well enough).

The mesh is not to my taste, but what's up with the fit between the bumper and the hood on top of the right kidney? I thought the hood wasn't closed on one side when I saw that, but I followed it over and it was!

Good catch....been having troubles with the hood latch adjustment. Need to take it in again for dealer to adjust. First the driver side was too far down so the driver side wouldn't latch then they raised it and now it sticks up a bit and sometimes the passenger side won't latch.

does not look good to me, but if you like it, thats what matters.

J08M3 · 12-06-2008, 07:11 PM

I don't care for it. But at least it's unique.

ring007 · 12-06-2008, 08:06 PM

I didn't figure most would like it since lots of members seem to be going for "black-out" look with grills, gills, wheels, etc. I think it looks great (obviously).

jamesisel · 12-07-2008, 10:07 AM

I think it looks okay

Big Windy · 12-07-2008, 10:14 AM

Cool. I think it would look best on JB!

satinghostrider · 12-07-2008, 10:27 AM

I have seen many after-market setups and the more I see it, the more I appreciate BMW for coming out with a fantastic kit STOCK standard. Apart from the Ericsson Kit, I dont think the others cut it. Honestly.

Speedtrap · 12-07-2008, 11:57 AM

Would look better in black

lvwirelessguy · 12-07-2008, 12:32 PM

Not feeling it, leave the mesh to The CTS-V

watrob · 12-07-2008, 05:06 PM

Bug catcher!

doba_s · 12-07-2008, 11:14 PM

something like that can be done only at Concord BMW ... plus they would charge you for that like 5k extra

NewM3driver · 12-08-2008, 10:10 PM

Looks like the mesh belongs on a Jag.

daltonnnn · 12-09-2008, 11:45 AM

The mesh will stand you out from the rest of us!

tightie · 12-09-2008, 01:15 PM

not too shabby

MDCTFTW · 12-09-2008, 01:25 PM

Gross man. Leave these to the Wings West Honda Civic body kits please. I can't believe people like this chicken coop wire.

nlpamg · 12-09-2008, 01:55 PM

I don't like it.
