what do you guys think. i'm not sure i like the rear end kit for this but i am quite a big fan of the front look. opinions???

i'm trying to decide what is next on the list for the car. looking at the front end, HID's, In-dash video, saving for a respray of maybe a different color... open to other suggestions but i am ready for somethin new

def. dont like the back, that is FUGLY, but the front is ok, thats an e39 m5 bumper, right?

No that's a rieger kit, I like rieger stuff a lot I'll probably look into getting one eventually. I say go for it.

The front looks like an E46 M3. I like the side skirts, but the seem a bit low. I like the back, if it was a bit shorter it would be better though. Get some HID's, those will look cool. Plus the chicks love the in dash DVD players.

If you don't go for the back, I would get this front bumper because it is't as low.

^^ I like that one better. less chance youll bottom it out.

that one is the same car the pics i put up are just after it was lowered. i don't like the back for the same reason. it doesn't match up with the raked style of the body lines. the side skirts are too low for me too. i'm just thinking about trying to get mtech sides after doing the front bumper. or maybe ACschnitzers for the side i know i like the AC rear bumper

eh i hate the back.. The front looks more like an E39 or something.. Not bad, but I like the sharper angles on an E34

Love the front bumper, rest looks like shit, HID's would be nice with a that bumper.

you own an e34 not an e39 buddy. (same thing with e46 vs. e36 bumpers)

**xsperf** · 01-02-2006, 09:46 PM

hah, storamin, so i could go to all people with M bumpers on non M cars and say you own a non M, not an M buddy, by your logic

**Rooz** · 01-02-2006, 11:13 PM

I voted full, but I like front and sides, not rear

**devinwwu** · 01-03-2006, 05:43 AM

i don't like everything about the e39, i love the handling characteristics and drivability of the e34 and most people who have driven both say the e34 feels much more sporty and connected with the road. but the styling cues on the e39 m5 are one of the things i do like about them. i'm just trying to combine both aspects into one great car but thank you for your opinion

This is just my personal opinion...

I don't like the Reiger kit, but I agree that your exterior needs some work to bring your car to life. These are pieces I found, that aren’t' that expensive, that I think will really help the look of your car.

1. Projector head lights
2. European clear lights
3. License plate delete
4. Black out grills
5. Color match bumpers/rockers (or re-spray car)
6. BavAuto DTM front lip spoiler.

I found all of these parts (except head lights) on BavAuto

that makes perfect sense...

not really, the lines of the e36 m3 flow very well. the lines of an e36 m3 w/ e46 m3 bumper doesn't. same with the lines of an e39 m5 bumper on an e34.
