M3 Edition black bits arrived.

Neil McRae · 02-12-2010, 11:54 AM

Well a week later and the merchandise is in!

and they look the dogs

Neil McRae · 02-12-2010, 12:22 PM

ok how the fark do you install them?

SlammedR8 · 02-12-2010, 12:25 PM

you do realize that these parts can be had at pretty much any aftermarket shop for (I would assume) a fraction of the price. And please dont say but the quality......because its plastic crap painted black, its all the same!

to each their own though!

Neil McRae · 02-12-2010, 12:46 PM

no they can't dood! None of the parts that I've seen are the satin black colour that these are and few of them have matched. I've looked! Especially with the tail pipes

I don't agree with your point on quality as just googling now for how to install them loads of people are complaining about cheap knock offs and the paint flaking and bubbling!

Singletrack · 02-12-2010, 02:00 PM

Those front grills are really nice. Someone posted a pic before comparing them to the BMW performance ones. Side by side the difference is very clear IMO - the edition ones have significantly more gloss and a different tint to them. Congrats!

Hi guys! Was wondering how u got these parts as when I went to dealer I was told I could not order any edition parts without a specific edition chassis number! How crap :-(

flyfs6 · 02-12-2010, 05:57 PM

Neil - the bits look superb. Will really suit your car

Im guessing here, but is the universal adjuster, sorry, hammer and elbow grease out of the question?

Neil McRae · 02-13-2010, 05:48 AM

yah exactly, not an easy install at all. Hands cut up and thumbs throbbling

chrisburns · 02-13-2010, 09:30 AM

Good move, just got mine this week as well although the sides are still at the stealer for me to collect.
As for the quality issue, I can assure you that there is a world of difference between the BMW ones and aftermarket.
I had matt black after market ones on my E60 M5 and when it came to removing them it was almost impossible to do so without breaking clips.
I ended up just smashing them to bits to take them out as I got so pissed at the poor quality.

bape · 02-13-2010, 11:19 AM

these are gunna look great on your car neil - cant wait to see the pics!

M3-FAST · 02-13-2010, 06:01 PM
