///M's at SEMA

AM4ZING · 11-06-2015, 10:25 AM

There were a few BMW M cars at Sema this year and my feelings are mixed. What do you guys think?

AM4ZING · 11-06-2015, 10:28 AM

A few more

best looking M at the show is the M Performance M4 less all of the tacky stickers

W/// · 11-06-2015, 10:50 AM

The YMB is the only half decent one out of all of those, but who knows what gastly wheels it's running. Never been a fan of SEMA and this kind of shows why

Jockey · 11-06-2015, 11:27 AM

I hate, hate bolted on fenders. I think it looks dumb.

TTO898 · 11-06-2015, 11:40 AM

They are all pretty hideous.

evm3 · 11-06-2015, 12:00 PM

they are all ugly

Best looking M at SEMA. Minus that marketing decal on the windshield. All OEM. Clean. To each his own and I understand these are "builds" to many people. All these wide-bodies are being played out IMO.
I personally cannot wait for OEM M performance coils they were showcasing. And the flat-bottom steering wheel

Do the OEM M Performance coils work with EDC?

Widebody's are out like 15 inch beards

Yes. This is pretty much part of the reason why is M making their own OEM coils. There would be no reason to release OEM coils and have it not work with EDC when BMW releases a ton of M cars with adaptive suspension.

Well i guess its time to shave

MJones3 · 11-06-2015, 05:52 PM

It seems like if you don't have an over the top, neon colored, double widebodied car you won't get in to this place..
I get that it's an event for modded cars and that taste is very personal but a lot of the cars there look like they were designed by 7-year olds.

Is there a "tasteful" section in the back perhaps?

VCP · 11-06-2015, 06:08 PM

lol They are becoming less and less around here, but as that happens you become Individual again

E. None of the above.

SpaceAce · 11-06-2015, 06:50 PM

IMO everythng there is definitely over the top and commercialized but thats pretty much what I expect from SEMA. Not a fan. I hate the bolt on fenders. Looks tacky and cheap. I hate the cars that are slammed with wheels tucked in the fenders. I like the simple clean modded cars.

You should see some of the stuff posted up on the 4x4 forums. Suspensions that are designed not to compress at all:

Suspensions that will crush the exhaust if it compresses too much:
