BMW Performance Stripes

TrojanBMW · 04-11-2008, 12:14 PM

So who's gonna be the first person to get the BMW Performance Stripes?

And how on earth are these things listed as aerodynamic accessories?

Try harder BMW!

Dude anything is possible... Just add an "R" sticker to any car and it gains 15hp instanly...

Dan203 · 04-11-2008, 12:57 PM

Anyone have a picture of what these actually are?

They dont even have a picture. This car has contours in the body that look amazing as is. I think a stripe would interupt the look and might take away from it.

There is an old eclipse at my office with a big green 'R' next to 'GT' on the back. Its an actual 3-d 'R' that sticks out. I think that adds like 10hp more then your sticker 'R'. :-P
The performance stripe adds about 50hp so it might actually be worth it.

Factory rice, or should we call it Kraut?

Frank Williams once said, in reference to the livery on that year's WilliamsF1 Grand Prix car, and I paraphrase, that attractive-looking cars always go faster. WilliamsF1 was partnered with BMW at the time. Go figure.

I think the fact the people don't know what it is or how to say it is a good thing. Its a BMW there should be some exclusivity to it.

Man I'm bored. Is my car ready ready yet?

I hope that's not them. 1988 called, it wants it stripes back.

That said, that probably is them. It has all the other performance parts on the car.

Dan203 · 04-11-2008, 02:45 PM

Those are FUgly!

Dan

Smallbodybimmer · 04-11-2008, 02:51 PM

$145....Jeezus. They don't even look good. Especially on a red car.

felixdahousecat · 04-11-2008, 03:23 PM

wow..why would you even bother?
those are terriable.

fazhari · 04-11-2008, 03:31 PM

I like em!

Endgame · 04-11-2008, 03:32 PM

car looks nice....

malves85 · 04-11-2008, 03:45 PM

Why white and gray on a red car?
it might look ok on black, white, silver, gray but even then it will probably still be ugly.

Im not a big fan of it. The most im doing to mine is maybe a 1addicts decal in one of those small windows.

stefan · 04-11-2008, 04:02 PM

Wow that's horrible. $145 for this? BMW has really gone overboard. This shouldn't even be on the same website with the word "performance" in it.

Wheels on the other hand look great!

SCA1 · 04-11-2008, 04:14 PM

I'm liking those wheels too. Anyone know what they weigh?
