Do you have the OEM BMW part number for those grills?

how old are you?...seriously. your going to dig with a toothpick to find every non oem part of the car now?

for the most part most items are oem. the grilles are from a vendor here since i prefer the double slat look better. i was refering more to people sticking on hood vents and m power decals as ebay mods. this is getting a bit ridiculous

I'm married, sorry.

I am curious because I like the dual slatted grill but prefer OEM parts. I thought you were on to something, other than a high-horse.

So I take it your side vents arent OEM ones either?

For the record, I wasnt nitpicking.

I recommend that you stick to IG and social media, you'll get more strokes over there.

If you consider it classy then who gives a fuck what I say. Just backing my statement.

You asked.. we responded.. granted you didn't ask me specifically, but that is why I said "I speak for myself" and why I mentioned if you are going to post in a public forum then expect both positive and negative comments.

You call it classy.. I call it rice By the way throwing in your played out IG: F80 in the photo doesn't change things for me.

Done with this thread mr. OEM++ and LOL Violator

I didn't know married was an age. Im married with 2 kids but I'm 35. Why would I buy OEM side vents....those are for the x5m. That would be RICEY

Please direct me to my post where I stated "ricey". Like I said, I respect your build just not my style. IMO, looks much nicer and in place on your M3. Gorgeous color btw! What I mean is, IMO the build looks proper on the M3 platform and not so much on the X5. When I think SUV/SAV I don't think of slammed on stepped lip wheels. That's just me. Where you went wrong in this thread is getting butt hurt. No one attacked you, you just simply couldn't handle the comments that didn't stroke your ego. As you get older, your ego will take a backseat.

Nice work! I still prefer your old 22 reps but these wheels are also nice.

Question - what is that carbon fiber lower console trim? Link? Couldn't be OEM...

My age is irrelveant, but if you must know, I am 20 and a half.

I am done with this back and forth, you made some statements and stuck your foot in your mouth. ("the only visual mod that isnt oem are the wheels...)

a classy clientele
a classy hotel
b : having or reflecting high standards of personal behavior

IMHO, this car fits the definition..(see elegant, stylish)
Yes, the stance might look a bit too much, but all together the whole car has a classy stylish look to it.
It looks well put together, like someone with a sense of style created it, not a pimpled out teenager trying to get some...
The added parts are subtle, but there. The white against black trim, with the "polished" aluminum wheels just looks really clean, not riced out, but definitely states modified ride, owner is an enthusiast, not a soccer mom using it as a tool to get from point A to B...

But this is just my opinion (with the help of Merriam-Webster), and you know what they say about opinions...

Stylish? Maybe in certain groups, like ricebois or slammers. Classy? If I can drive it to an upper class country club and not have people shake their heads, then it's classy.

This is not that. This screams non-classy and I wouldn't dare bring it around those areas.
